No Way Home May Have Proved 1 Major Iron Man Dream Came True
Electro's appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home might have revealed that one goal of the MCU's Iron Man secretly came true despite it never being mentioned. As part of the MCU's Multiverse Saga, Spider-Man: No Way Home was the first feature film in the franchise to blow open the concept of the multiverse, introducing a selection of villains and two previous Spider-Men into the MCU proper. Tom Holland fought alongside Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as three different variants of Peter Parker, cleaning up the mess made by Doctor Strange's botched memory-wipe spell and uncovering some secrets of Earth-616 in the process.
From Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films came Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn, a.k.a. the Green Goblin, Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Dr. Octopus, and Thomas Haden Church as Flint Marko, a.k.a. Sandman, and from Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man films came Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors, a.k.a. Lizard, and Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon, a.k.a. Electro. It was a massive nostalgia kick to see these iconic Spider-Man villains return in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but some of them went through some significant changes. Electro, in particular, could have provided the answer to an age-old Iron Man question in the MCU concerning a sustainability goal.
