How Ned Can Become Hobgoblin In Spider-Man 4 (Without Losing Peter)
Although details about a potential Spider-Man 4 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are unknown, it’s expected to take a major turn and see Peter Parker’s best friend, Ned Leeds, become the Hobgoblin – but there’s one important detail in his comic book history that can make his transformation possible without ruining his friendship with Peter. After the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) life will never be the same as he’s now all alone and starting a new chapter in his life without those closest to him, and while this is a heartbreaking turn for Spider-Man, it also leaves the door open for many possibilities in a fourth Spider-Man movie.
Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Peter asking Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a spell that would make everyone forget he’s Spider-Man, but the spell was botched and, instead, it opened the gates to the multiverse. This allowed villains from past Spider-Man movies to crossover to the MCU as well as variants of Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield), and after joining forces with Peter-Two and Peter-Three, Spider-Man cured the villains and sent them back to their universes, but this came with a big price. In order to save the multiverse, Spider-Man asked Strange to cast a spell that would make everyone forget Peter Parker, and so at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter was left without friends and starting a new life all alone.
