The cover for a Spider-Man: No Way Home tie-in book reveals Doctor Strange and his Sanctum Santorum. As fans grow more and more impatient for the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, new information about the movie is emerging via merchandise releases and additional set photos. The movie itself is perhaps the most anticipated Marvel flick of the year, as it will reportedly dive into the multiverse head first and bring back performers from past Spider-Man franchises. At the center of it all will once again be Tom Holland, playing Peter Parker for the sixth time.
While much of the buzz about Spider-Man: No Way Home has surrounded the potential involvement of those like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, the early merchandise has been about Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) inclusion. After Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) made appearances in past MCU Spider-Man movies, Doctor Strange will pick up where they left off in No Way Home. Toys have revealed Spider-Man's new suit is partially powered by Doctor Strange's magic, suggesting the two will partner up in a significant way.
Peter and Strange will definitely be meeting up in Spider-Man 3, but it doesn't sound like it'll be a normal get-together. The newly revealed cover for a tie-in book (via Spider-Man: No Way Home News) shows Spidey dropping by the Sanctum Santorum. Doctor Strange floats above the mystical building, as if waiting for Peter. The book itself is titled Spider-Man's Very Strange Day, hinting that Peter's trip to the Sanctum Santorum will be an eventful one.

The cover feels reminiscent of a recent Spider-Man 3 set photo, which sees Doctor Strange greeting Peter outside the Sanctum Santorum. It feels like this moment could come from the beginning of the movie. In both the set picture and the book cover, Peter is wearing the same suit from the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, which saw his secret identity revealed to the world when he was framed for the murder of Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). There's a chance Peter will seek refuge in the Sanctum Santorum in the immediate aftermath of this, since Doctor Strange already knows who he is.
This is all speculation right now, but it's clear Doctor Strange will play a pivotal role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. He's been a prominent part of the various merchandise reveals, and he'll likely appear in the long-awaited trailer as well. All eyes are on Sony as fans wait for the debut of the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, which could come any week now. Hopefully that will reveal more information about what's to come for Peter and his new mentor.
