SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY - Official Trailer | Exclusively In Cinemas 31 July

Jimmy Kimmel: So, you're not in the movie?
Charlie Cox (smiling) No.
Kimmel: You say no? Okay.
Cox: If I was in the movie, I would also also say no, to be clear.
Kimmel: So you might be lying right now.
Cox: Yes. But I'm not in the movie. I could be lying, but I'm not.
Is this regarding the new film or No Way Home?

Sure, in that universe. It seems evident that every version of Spidey gets that message at some point (it's what Across the Spider-Verse calls a "canon event"). The Tobey version got it from his Uncle Ben.



Agreed. The initial implication was that he might have already gotten it, in his backstory, but they didn't make it explicit. When No Way Home gave connected MCU Spidey back to more classic Spidey themes and content, they gave the line to Aunt May to put it on-screen, and it would be weird for him to have received the speech twice.

I think Peter-Tom interaction with the other Spidermans shows that he first got it from Aunt May.

When they first met, Tobey tells Tom about Uncle Ben, and Tom is not surprised, so we know Uncle Ben existed also in the MCU. But when Tom tells the other Spideys about the line, he's surprised they know it. If he had heard it from Uncle Ben before, he should have expected them to know it as well.
 

I love Tombstone, but I'd rather they not go too crazy on the number of villains appearing. Give us someone in the cold open to fight, maybe a few in montage sequences, but the actual plot shouldn't be a clown car full of them.
Let's work up to this, rather than overstuffing these movies. Spider-Man 3 had many problems, including too many villains, and I gather Amazing Spider-Man 2 had the same issue.
After watching this trailer that was my first reaction too, too many villains & too much going on for a cohesive plot and might suffer from the same problems as Spider-Man 3.

Oh yes, the writing in No Way Home (2021) is consistent that Peter first got it from Aunt May.

It's his line ("If you can do what I do, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you.") from Civil War (2016) which implies that he's already gotten the message, because they didn't give us his origin story before introducing him in the MCU.

Since they left the wording similar but not the same in Civil War, that implication didn't become a direct plot contradiction when Tom Spidey winds up getting the exact line from a different relative, and later in his career.
