The trailer begins with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) lying on a rooftop with MJ (Zendaya), who is reading rumors about Peter ever since he was unmasked as Spider-Man by Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the last Spider-Man film, 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
MJ reads one rumor that claims one of Parker’s powers may be, ‘the male spider’s ability to hypnotize females,’ which Peter dismisses.
Peter asks if they can just ‘stay up here all day, it’s so crazy down there,’ referring to the media circus around his unmasking as Spider-Man.

The voice of The Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons, who portrayed the character in Tobey Maguire’s original Spider-Man trilogy) is heard saying that, ‘Spider-Man is in fact Peter Parker,’ as Spidey flies by a video that says he’s, ‘Public Enemy #1.’
Peter is then seen handcuffed in a police interrogation room, stating that he did not kill Mysterio, the ‘drones did,’ when one detective says, ‘the drones that are yours?’
Peter and MJ are then talking on the phone when MJ asks if there is, ‘any part of you that is relieved by all this’ since he doesn’t have to ‘hide or lie’ about being Spidey.

Peter makes it clear that he, ‘never wanted to lie to you… but how do you tell someone that you’re Spider-Man?’
Peter is seen walking through the halls of his high school as he’s filmed by students everywhere he walks.

He adds that he’s trying to figure out a way to fix all of this, which leads him to pay Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) a visit at his Sanctum Sanctorum.
The good Doctor asks, ‘To what do I owe the pleasure?’ and when Peter calls him sir, he responds, ‘Please. We saved half the universe together, I think we’re beyond you calling me sir.’
Peter then calls him Stephen, which the Doctor acknowledges, ‘That feels weird, but I’ll allow it.’

Peter says that, ‘When Mysterio revealed my identity, my entire life got screwed up. I was wondering if you could make it that he never did?’
Strange’s mystical cohort Wong (Benedict Wong) angrily tells him, ‘Strange, don’t cast that spell. It’s too dangerous.’
Stephen tells him, ‘Fine, I won’t,’ before Wong takes some luggage and walks into a portal… though Strange winks at Peter when he’s gone.

Stephen takes Peter into the bowels of the Sanctum Sanctorum, where he conjures a spell where nobody in the entire world will know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
Naturally, Peter isn’t a fan of this, asking, ‘Can’t some people still know?’ but Strange retorts, ‘That’s now how the spell works.’
