Wait, I just realized something. In “Spider-Man 2″, Sam Raimi referenced Doctor Strange. In “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, Sam Raimi referenced Spider-Man.
I know it’s supposed to be a reference to “No Way Home”, but it also feels like Raimi did a callback to himself.

Raimi Spider-Man universe especulation…
In the novelizations of the Raimi Spider-Man movies, Mutants are mentioned (in the first book they’re mentioned as having appeared on tv and in the second book a medic calls Otto a mutant). So mutants and the X-Men exist in Tobey!Peter’s world.
Captain America is also mentioned, since Peter liked to read Cap comics according to the first book. So he can be an actual real person or just a character in a comic. And while Cap is defined as a “super hero” he is pretty much a war/militar hero, so he could be a real person.
Maybe while the idea of “super heroes” existed in tv, movies and comics in Peter’s world, there had never really been real life “supers”. There were typical people and mutants who may have been heroes, but there were no “super heroes”.
That is, until the X-Men were formed and other people with powers (not mutants) came to be, like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.
Since most of these movies came out during the begining of the 2000s and around the same time as each other, we can play around with the idea of them being in the same universe.
While Hulk came before Spider-Man, I dunno we call him a super hero, yet (i need to rewatch the 2003 movie to fully work on this especulations lol), so Spider-Man may have been one of the first non born mutant supers of the 2000s. During this time we had also the rise of Daredevil and the Fantastic Four (since both are 2005 movies, we can pretend they came to be right after our Spider boy’s second biggest villain fight).
does whatever a spider can!
Uh…
Did we learn nothingfrom this movie?
