Excitement for this winter's release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is building thanks to new information about how successive Spider-Men will appear in the film. We have also received word that a crossover with the MCU is in the works.

Let's start with the latter. A report from the @spideysnews Twitter account credits Atlanta Filming with the scoop that "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is currently filming on a recreated Sanctum Santorum set.

This is a pretty strong reason to expect Benedict Cumberbatch to appear in Spider-Man 3, but he is not in the US right now.

However, this big news requires a bit of searching, thanks to Twitter user @simonmoore2110. Moore seems to be tracking the activities of the famous Spider-Man actor's stunt double, and has tracked down William Spencer (Andrew Garfield's stunt double) standing on stage next to Greg Townley (current Spider-Man stunt double Tom Holland's stunt double)

This led to the following.

This confirms (basically) what has been leaked all along: in Spider-Man 3, the other Spider-Men from past films will meet the current Peter Parker. Longstanding rumors suggest that Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker in Spider-Man 1-3), Kristen Dunst (Mary Jane Watson), and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) will also reprise their roles.

It all fits when one recalls that the entire title of the upcoming "Doctor Strange" film proclaims that "the multiverse will open up." The "Spider-Man" films have foretold this possibility since the last film, when Quentin Beck, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, claimed that this was the way he arrived in "Spider-Man: Far From Home".

The first bite to this fire came from The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news that Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx would reprise their roles as Doctor Octopus and Electro.

Confused? Watch "Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse" now to understand what the multiverse is and what it means for a live-action Spider-Man movie.

Not so surprising news, leaked set photos show MJ (Zendaya) playing basketball. But don't expect her to be at school; the first official photos of Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in February, seemed to show MJ, Peter, and Ned (Jacob Batalon) entering Strange's lair for themselves.
