Theory Briefing
- Tom Holland confirmed exactly one person still knows Spider-Man is Peter Parker, following Doctor Strange's world-wide memory spell in No Way Home.
- The Hulk theory draws directly from Marvel Comics, where the Savage Hulk retained Peter's secret even as Bruce Banner forgot — mirroring the MCU's confirmed Savage Hulk return.
- The Jean Grey theory hinges on her near-limitless psionic powers making her immune to or capable of bypassing Strange's spell, supported by leaked trailer dialogue.
