With Spider-Man: No Way Home arriving in cinemas on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday depending on where in the world you are reading this, the TV marketing campaign has kicked up a notch, releasing a slew of new, mostly just re-edited, footage in the form of several TV spots highlighting certain points of the movie. With Green Goblin taking center stage for one, Peter Parker’s “Hero” status being the headline of another, and a third focusing on Spider-Man’s “Endgame,” there's one particular shot of Doctor Strange that has once again started the Marvel connections flowing, as the Doctor is seen casting a spell using very similar runes to those that featured heavily in WandaVision’s finale.

In the clip, which can be seen in full, there is a glimpse of Strange floating in the air while casting the rune spell as the sun appears to be rising. The moment comes about half way through the 20 second clip and is interesting for a couple of reasons, though not particularly any that clear up the questions that other trailers have already raised, and in fact they may just muddy the waters a little more.

In previous trailers, there have been two specific shots of Strange casting his spells out by the Statue of Liberty, where it is thought the climax of the movie will take place in a grand face off that will – allegedly – feature a host of returning Spider-Man villains and previous Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield taking on each other in a Marvel equivalent of a wrestling Smack Down. In one of the early trailers, Strange was seen at night shouting: “I can’t hold them back much longer” while he seemed to be preventing something coming through the rips in the multiverse. However, in a later trailer, this same moment was shown with a daylight background rather than the nighttime one seen originally. This latest image, seems to possibly be set in the same daylight environment of the second trailer, but of course, all of this could simply be a red herring by Marvel.

What the new clip does give us is a direct link between Strange and Scarlet Witch, as in the new clip the runes the Doctor is casting with are just like the ones that were featured in Wanda’s face off with Agatha in the WandaVision finale, and gives a very small link to the upcoming Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, which will star both characters heavily in the plot. What it also brings is another possible link to the seemingly pivotal moment in Loki when He Who Remains lost sight of “what comes next,” a moment that has so far been linked by fans to the moment Wanda became Scarlet Witch, to the post credit scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage when the spell that is cast in Spider-Man: No Way Home linked the MCU to Sony’s Universe of Spider-Man Characters and brought Tom Holland’s Peter Parker into Venom’s radar, and of course in the trailer that shows Doctor Strange casting and botching the spell itself.

The arrival of Spider-Man: No Way Home will answer a lot of questions, but similarly will leave many more unanswered as we head into the future of the Marvel Multiverse and all the things it is going to bring with it over the next few years.
