An easy-to-miss detail in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 provides an explanation for why Electro was brought to the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Electro’s confusing presence in Spider-Man: No Way Home was quietly explained in his first movie. Given that No Way Home used at least one villain from all other non-MCU Spider-Man movies, it originally seemed fitting for The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Electro to make an appearance. However, the MCU’s explanation for their roles in the story made Electro’s inclusion rather complicated.
In No Way Home, the MCU used the concept of the multiverse to pull five villains from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man movies straight into the world of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. A common denominator was utilized to explain why these specific villains were on hand. One thing they all seemed to share was that they knew Spider-Man was Peter Parker.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 Explains A Spider-Man: No Way Home Mystery A puzzling aspect of this reveal is the notion that there was seemingly no moment in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where Electro discovers who Spider-Man really is. For this reason, there was a sense that Electro’s involvement was a plot hole, but an easy-to-miss detail in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 could account for his part in the story. During the big fight at the end between Spider-Man and Electro, Gwen Stacy called out, “Peter.
Of course, that’s not to say that Electro appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home makes perfect sense now. After all, Electro didn’t share a strong personal connection to Peter, so overhearing this comment was unlikely to mean anything more to him than a confirmation of Spider-Man’s first name. What it does do, though, is make the story feel only slightly less of an attempt to shoehorn a gathering of Spider-Man villains into a single movie.
How Every Other Villain Knows Peter Parker In No Way Home Gwen saying Peter’s name may excuse Spider-Man: No Way Home using Electro, but all the other villains needed no such loophole. Norman Osborn memorably put two and together when he saw a scratch on Peter’s arm that matched one he had inflicted on Spider-Man as the Green Goblin. Otto Octavius knew the truth only because Spider-Man unmasked in front of him during their final battle.
