It would appear as if with the rumoured re-casting of Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin and Church as Sandman, Spider-Man 3 is perhaps aiming to be the first live-action Marvel movie that will explore the multiverse. The possibility of the existence of a multiverse in the live-action Spider-Man film was one of the primary speculations when Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed his appearance as Dr. Strange in the film. As per the very same article on MovieWeb, alongside previous antagonists of Spider-Man, previous love interests will also be seen in the upcoming Spider-Man sequel as well. This means that most probably, moviegoers will be reintroduced to Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Austin and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacey from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man franchise respectively.

The existence of the multiverse was introduced as a theory in the live-action world through Jake Gyllenhaal's introduction to the same in Spider-Man: Far From Home. But, as the film progressed, it became apparent that the Multiverse Theory solely existed as a theory until that point in the MCU. The Multiverse theory was explored as a reality six months prior to Spider-Man: Far From Home in Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse.
