Doctor Strange’s memory-erasing spell in No Way Home was supposed to make the world forget Peter Parker ever existed. But a new VisionQuest clip just revealed one AI who never forgot a thing — and it’s raising big questions about who else might remember.

What the New Clip Reveals?
A behind-the-scenes look at VisionQuest shows EDITH, Tony Stark’s AI from Spider-Man: Far From Home, casually referencing Peter Parker as her “first boss” who was “a junior in high school.” That’s a direct memory of Peter’s teenage identity — something the spell was supposed to erase from everyone, hero or civilian.
EDITH will appear in human form inside Vision’s mindspace, recast with Schitt’s Creek actress Emily Hampshire taking over the role.
Who Remembers Peter Parker — And Who Doesn’t
| Character | Remembers Peter? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EDITH (AI) | Yes | Recalls him clearly as a teen in VisionQuest |
| M.J. | Unclear | Possible flicker of memory in Brand New Day‘s climax |
| Ned Leeds | Partial | Recognized their old handshake by the film’s end |
| Bruce Banner | No | Showed no memory of Peter |
| Hulk | Ambiguous | Hesitated during their clash, never confirmed why |
| FRIDAY (AI) | Unknown | Was present during Homecoming, status untested |
Why This Matters Going Forward
This inconsistency suggests Doctor Strange’s spell from Spider-Man: No Way Home may not have worked uniformly across every mind connected to Peter — especially artificial ones. Reports have suggested Marvel could eventually reverse the spell after Avengers: Secret Wars, though Brand New Day‘s organic reunions with Ned and possibly M.J. make a full magical undo seem less likely. The real answers may not surface until Spider-Man 5.

FAQs
Q1: Does EDITH remember Peter Parker in VisionQuest?
Yes — she clearly recalls him as a teenage “boss,” despite Doctor Strange’s spell erasing his identity from the world.
Q2: Will Doctor Strange’s memory spell ever be reversed?
It’s possible after Avengers: Secret Wars, but Brand New Day’s natural reunions make a full reversal less likely.
