Suggested correction: He knows the Curt Connors from Spider-Man 2. The Curt Connors from Spider-Man 2 is not the same one from The Amazing Spider-Man, since they were played by two completely different actors. This can't be a continuity error since he's not from the same universe as the Dr Connors from The Amazing Spider-Man.

Questions

Question: Are the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies now part of the MCU?

MikeH

Answer: No, they are part of the multiverse. The MCU is just one of those universes within the multiverse.

Answer: I almost think the best way to refer to them would be to call them "MCU-Adjacent." Both answers nail it - they're not part of the MCU universe itself, but are canonical to it and co-exist alongside it thanks to the establishment of the multiverse. And considering the "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" trailer teases Patrick Stewart as (presumably) Professor X, I think we could probably also apply this to pretty much any other Marvel adaptation ever made that was not made by Marvel Studios itself. It all co-exists and is all canonical to each other through the use of multiverses/alternate timelines/alternate dimensions.

TedStixon

Answer: Their respective movies themselves are not retroactively part of the MCU franchise, but since characters and events from those films crossed over here, they can be considered canon to the MCU's overall narrative.

Phaneron ★

Answer: No. It's explained that they are from another universe, and were sent back to their universes at the end of the film.
