[Spider-Man: No Way Home spoilers] So for the first credits scene

How exactly was Eddie Brock/Venom brought to the MCU? I haven't seen Venom or the sequel, but AFAIK, there isn't a Spider-Man in there. At least, not yet (though I don't know why they'd make *another* as opposed to using Holland or Garfield).

Point being, the spell works on bringing in everyone who knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man, correct? So how would Eddie Brock/*this* Venom fit the bill? He clearly didn't recognise Spider-Man by name, as he told the bartender he'd have to go meet "this Spider-Man" in New York, shortly before he got booted back to his universe.

Maybe I've gotten the spell specifics wrong. After all, I don't recall Max/Electro finding out that Spider-Man is Peter Parker (I may have forgotten that).

In the Venom 2 credits Venom is telling Eddie that symbiotes have a hive memory beyond his human understanding. At that moment he is yanked into the MCU dimension by strange's spell. The implication is that though this Eddie didn't know Peter, the symbiotes all do know him on some hive level.
