Beginning
Parker and Doctor Strange's goof-up leads to leak in multiverse
As we saw in the trailer, Parker and his close ones are suffering as his Spider-Man identity is out in the world.

But due to disruptions, the spell goes awry, opening up the universe to multiple universes.
And, enter previous Marvel Cinematic Universe supervillains.
Antagonists
OG supervillains take cream, 20 years of cinema comes together
Apart from the generation that has seen Holland as the first Spider-Man, this new film will appeal to even the earlier generations who have grown up watching the previous movies.
From Doc Ock to Green Goblin to Electro, these characters might have been the bad guys but seeing them again makes you nostalgic either way.
Director Jon Watts gives them humane arcs here too.
