Spider-Man: Brand New Day features a single post-credits scene that concludes the film and offers a glimpse into the future of Tom Holland's Peter Parker. The scene, which does not include any human actors besides the voice of Ned Leeds, utilizes a 'Spider-Tracker' app developed by Ned to locate Spider-Man sightings.
The Spider-Tracker's Cosmic Clue
The post-credits sequence focuses on this tracker, depicted as a vertical screen recording of an 8-bit map. Initially, the app shows a red pin with a spider emblem marking Spider-Man's location in New York City, presumably near Peter's apartment. This could suggest a personal tracker developed by Ned and Peter after their reunion, allowing Ned to keep tabs on the hero.
However, the map quickly zooms out to reveal Earth and then pans into outer space. Amidst graphical glitches, another red pin appears in the void of space, accompanied by Ned's voice announcing, "Location found." This cryptic ending leaves Peter Parker's next destination open to interpretation.
Possible Futures for Spider-Man
This cosmic reveal opens up several possibilities for the character's future. One interpretation is that Spider-Man's next solo adventure will take him to space, drawing parallels to recent comic storylines where Peter Parker joined the Future Foundation or was involved in intergalactic conflicts. Another, more prominent theory, connects the scene to the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe events like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
These future Avengers films are expected to explore multiversal incursions, where different realities collide. The appearance of previous Spider-Men and their villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home already established cracks between realities. The post-credits scene could be foreshadowing Peter Parker traversing dimensions or encountering another Earth that is nearing our own.
Implications for the MCU
While the Spider-Tracker app itself may not be a central plot device in future films, its glitching in the face of an unmapped location in space suggests a threat of significant magnitude. The scene implies that whatever Peter Parker faces next may extend beyond the familiar streets of New York City and could pose a danger to more than just himself. The final reveal indicates that answers regarding Spider-Man's cosmic or multiversal predicament may arrive with the upcoming Avengers films.
