The 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, concludes with a post-credits scene that offers a glimpse into future storylines for the web-slinger. While Tom Holland's return as Spider-Man has not been officially confirmed for upcoming projects, the film's closing moments provide a clear indication of his continued presence in the MCU.
Brand New Day features one post-credits scene, with no mid-credits stinger. The scene itself is brief and does not show any characters on screen. It focuses on Peter Parker's friend Ned, who has developed an app to track Spider-Man sightings across New York City. The Spidey Tracker app activates, indicating a sighting not within the city, but off-world. This development is accompanied by the traditional "Spider-Man Will Return" text, confirming his future appearance.
Within the narrative of Brand New Day, Peter Parker's departure from Earth is unexplained. However, this off-world trajectory is widely interpreted as a setup for Avengers: Secret Wars. This aligns with comic book storylines where Doctor Doom merges the multiverse into a single planet known as Battleworld. If the films adapt this arc, Spider-Man could find himself on this new planet, explaining his apparent exit from Earth. The timing is notable, as Holland is not listed among the actors confirmed for the upcoming "Doomsday" film, which is speculated to be related to Secret Wars.
Despite this perceived absence from Doomsday, the film establishes Peter Parker's connections to the New Avengers through his encounter with Yelena, the new Black Widow. Fans are speculating that trailers may have intentionally omitted certain heroes to maintain secrecy around Doomsday's plot. The film is scheduled to premiere on December 18, at which point its handling of Spider-Man's potential involvement or absence in major upcoming conflicts may become clearer.
