Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially arrived, and with it, the answer to a five-year question of whether or not Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) love, MJ (Zendaya), and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) remember him after Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) cast a spell to make the world forget him.

But is the answer as straightforward as fans would have assumed? Warning: Spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day!

As viewers see in the film, Peter finds himself drawn to MJ and Ned when he crosses paths with the latter in a bodega. Following Ned to his new apartment, Peter walks into a housewarming party where he learns that MJ has a new boyfriend and that these people who once knew him best in the world don’t recognize him at all.

But when Peter was confronted by the threat of Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), who could take over the minds of anyone within a certain radius of her, she threatened MJ, forcing him to make a rescue attempt.
