Doctor Strange's Spider-Man Spell Worked So Well The MCU Just Forgot Him
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Ms. Marvel.
It seems like Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) memory spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home worked so well that MCU totally forgot that Spider-Man (Tom Holland) exists in Ms. Marvel. The latest Disney+ series from Marvel Studios introduces Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, an Avenger-obsessed teenager from Jersey City who gets her own superpowers in an unexpected way. One of the most interesting parts of the show thus far is the inclusion of an MCU Easter egg-laden AvengerCon in Ms. Marvel episode 1 that Kamala attends with her best friend, Bruno (Matt Lintz).
Ms. Marvel is set one or two years after Avengers: Endgame, which means that it's possible that the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home have already gone down before Kamala's origin story. In the Jon Watts-directed Spider-Man film, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) made the ultimate sacrifice when he let Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) cast a spell that wiped the memory of Peter Parker being Spider-Man's real identity from everyone's minds. Admittedly, specifics about the full effects of the spell remain unclear, but it seems like it worked so well that Spider-Man wasn't referenced at Ms. Marvel's AvengerCon.

The convention is littered with booths that are dedicated to certain Avengers — some selling merchandise, others offering fun activities. Ms. Marvel's AvengerCon features a tribute to Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Expectedly, attendees are dressed in their respective favorite heroes, from the Avengers to Guardians of the Galaxy.
