Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Spider-Man: No Way Home and Morbius!
Sony has accidentally highlighted why hiding the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reveals in Spider-Man: No Way Home was so important.

The importance of having these characters not appear in No Way Home's marketing has become even more apparent through Sony fumbling the advertisements for Morbius.
For years, having Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield appear in the MCU had been a dream, and just the thought of it was one of the most hype-inducing prospects in the lead up to No Way Home. While the trailers did show off some of No Way Home's returning Spider-Man villains, it never actually confirmed whether or not Maguire and Garfield would be in the movie. They did end up appearing in the film, and scenes of the three Spider-Men working together have since become instant Marvel classics.

However, many of these potentially exciting moments weren't actually in the movie, and the MCU's Vulture cameo was ultimately confined to two after-credits scenes.
