Couldn't Peter ask a Skrull to disguise as Peter so everone could see Peter and Spiderman at the same time?

I've always hated "One More Day" but this is a clever twist on the idea.
...although it is a bit weird that the spell got messy because Peter became concerned about allowing certain people. Not that Peter would have that concern, because of course he would, but rather that Strange would allow that to become a problem. I hope there's more to that particular situation than what we see here.
Strange says something in a voice-over about Peter living 'two lives' being the problem. So I wonder if somehow those thoughts also were in Strange's mind as he cast the spell and due to Peter causing it to possibly alter also influenced Strange to think for a second about it and that thought is what 'pulled' in other versions of Peter in an attempt to have Peter *and* Spider-man exist in this one universe.
I thought it was kind of creepy to just decide it's OK to mess with a billion people's memories and existence. If you can do that just imagine what that opens up, it's like Wandavision on a global scale.

Both ideas win the awareness award, as they involve resources available to superheroes in the MCU, and if used, SM3's running time dealing with Parker's identity might be cut down to 15 minutes. Fans will undoubtedly ask the same questions once the film is released. Between holograms, Skrulls and magic, the world could be convinced in seconds that Parker is just some regular teen.
About the idea of Parker saying he's SM--look at social media: kids claim all manner of wild crap that does not hold water around the clock, so the population would--in the best possible outcome--think Parker was attention seeking like many teenagers.
So the plot of the film is Peter Parker causes massive problems by not being able to keep his mouth shut? I wonder who have inspired that? *cough*Tom Holland*cough*
Speaking of not keeping their mouth shut... JB Smoove straight-up confirmed Tobey Maguire is in the film.
I don't know, it would be quite the move for Marvel to one day just drop a movie with no trailer, no warning, or even just drop a trailer *on release day*. It would terrify the marketing people of course...and probably the kind of thing you can only get away with once. But still, it'd be fun to see it of for nothing else than seeing the collective fan freak-out.
That would be a very cool thing to happen even if, as you said, it would only work the one time. However, in this day and age of social media, drones, and smart phones, there's no way an entire film could be filmed without people having some idea what's being made. And that's before you get to the terrified marketing people.
A cool idea on paper, but impossible in practicality.
Honestly though, I think it's funnier if it's not addressed. Showing up at the Sanctum Sanctorum is like visiting the BPRD, or MIB headquarters. It seems like random craziness, but really it's just a Saturday...don't worry about it!
That would be funny, too, although I'd still like to hear some funny anecdote it happening as a funny aside that Strange just shrugs off. Hell, like I said before, I wonder if that's why Wong is getting the fuck out of there.
This will be a Multiverse Sinister Six; So that's Goblin, Doc Ock, Sandman, Electro, Lizard, Rhino. Vulture and Scorpion won't be part of it and they are saving those MCU characters for other movies.
So if any of that is true then it seems like there will be more Spiderman movies after this.
I meant to bring this up last night because I noticed in the trailer two things that people haven't talked about in regards to returning villains:
There's one moment where we see a big electrical blast of some kind. Electro is most likely the source of that blast, supported by the fact that we know Jamie Foxx is returning.
However, there's another quick moment that looks like it's some kind of sandstorm. It's hard to tell for certain because it happens quickly and it's at night, but it's entirely possible that's Sandman. I don't think I've seen any rumors about Thomas Haden Church returning but that would be cool to see him return.
I did feel the whole thing was irresponsible on Strange's part. I might except that of the character if this was shorty after his first movie but I assumed he had matured since then.
Yup, like I said before, I hope there's more going on in that scene than what the trailer is trying to tell us because it looks bad for both Peter and Stephen.
I do seem to recall there was some kind of speculation around that date when that episode came out. It's probably a big fat nothing, but it's fun to wonder...

Honestly, I feel bad for Smoove because it was a blatant baiting question on the interview's part and Smoove was just caught up in his own excitement about the film. I really loathe disingenuous interviews like that.
I liked the trailer. Hopefully the various rumors are true, and
We get the best Spider-Man (and Andrew Garfield, if we have to). Hopefully they, and the multiverse stuff in general, have major roles.
I consider the MCU Spider-Man films to be some of the worst MCU films, but if this film is mostly stuff we see in the trailer and cuts down (or gets rid of) most of the crappy High School focused stuff, this could be halfway decent. If nothing else, it will almost certainly be a movie where I'll be rewatching certain scenes a lot, which is more then I can say for the last two (well, actually the last 5) Spider-Man films.
I too hated One More Day, especially because they undid Peter's and MJ's marriage ( something i never forgave Joe Quesada, then Editor in Chief at Marvel Comics) and after that i stopped reading Spiderman altogether. However this being the MCU they will only take the barebones construct of it and craft something of their own around it - we'll actually see what the resolution of that will be and if it'll be the actual conclusion of the MCU Spiderman story arc ( are there reports of Holland signing a deal to continue playing the role?).
December can't come soon enough - i want to see Shang Chi and Eternals but this is the one i'm actually really excited about.
Someone pointed out to me, when I said it was weird that Strange would just do this...... That it's not Strange. He's under mindcontrol from perhaps Mephisto or someone else......

So I've been combing through the trailer some more and there might be a hint to another villain. At the 2:26 mark (right after the shot of Happy), Peter reacts to something large moving in the dark behind him. It's a very quick and very dark moment, so it's difficult to tell who or what is attacking Peter. My initial is perhaps Lizard but there appears to be some kind of glowing tendril moving around (maybe his tail?).

Yeah, the more I think about it and the more I rewatch the trailer, there's definitely something off about Strange. Maybe mind control, maybe masquerade, although one wonders how Wong didn't notice (unless he's being manipulated, too).
He did the same memory-wiping trick for Daredevil in the comics so I see nothing out of character for him here. Plus, if Peter hadn't interrupted him and Wanda and Sylvie hadn't been busy breaking reality it probably would have all been fine.
