Now, before you carried away and start wondering if it was Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire, we will give you the heartbreaking news right away that it wasn't the case. It was some random stunt performer who made an appearance for entertaining the fans. Also, since Marvel is sponsoring the stadium, aka Marvel Stadium, it was a promotional stunt.

It appears to be a promotion for Marvel's upcoming movie SpiderMan: No Way Home, due to hit the theatres on December 17. The fans are eagerly awaiting the film due to the concept of the multiverse being introduced. The film will witness the return of the villains from the previous SpiderMan movie franchises, as have been depicted in the trailers so far. Although it has not been declared if Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire will return in their role as SpiderMan, fans are sure of it, despite Marvel choosing to keep it a secret.
