\n\tIt looks like Tom Holland<\/a>\u2019s spoiler of yore \u2014 teasing Spider-Man in space for Avengers: Infinity War (2018) alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) cast \u2014 can take on new meaning with the post-credit scene at the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere is just one short snippet after all of the credits have rolled in the movie, so be prepared to settle in all the way until the songs in the film are listed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bookend of the film shows Ned\u2019s (Jacob Batalon) Spider-Man tracker app interface with a voice alerting the user to a new location for the webslinger. The mask icon that denotes Spidey\u2019s location on a pixelated GPS map, that looks like older videogames, pinpoints the superhero somewhere in space.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe playful post-credit bit is followed by Marvel<\/a>\u2019s signature text declaring that Spider-Man will return, but not naming which title he will appear in next. Avengers: Doomsday, coming December 18, 2026, could include him if viewers consider the post-credits scene from Thunderbolts* which also teases the arrival of other superheroes in space.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat teaser hinted at the meeting of the New Avengers and The Fantastic Four after Yelena Belova\u2019s (Florence Pugh) iPad runs a threat scan of outer space and alerts her of an unidentified craft, an extradimensional ship, entering the orbit of Earth-616. Viewers of Fantastic Four: The First Steps will recall that the film is set on Earth-828, and the spaceship in the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene looks awfully familiar, so it seems that the quartet will join forces with Avengers and New Avengers, or, jokingly, knockoff Avengerz. The projectile rotates to show its blue-backed number four emblazoned on the side.<\/p>\n

\n\tFurthermore, one post-credit scene of Fantastic Four: The First Steps (2025)<\/a> teases Dr. Victor von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) meeting Franklin, Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) and Reed Richards\u2019 (Pedro Pascal) baby. This interaction was prefaced by \u201cFour Years Later\u201d in the signature Marvel post-credit text. Sue leaves the couch where she is reading to Franklin to get another book for him, and she returns to see the toddler touching an unmasked Doom\u2019s face, but from an angle that only shows his hooded silhouette, holding the silver mask he usually dons.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack to the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene, a dynamic similar to Captain America: Civil War (2016) could be developing because Yelena, Buckey Barnes (Sebastian Stan), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Ava Starr aka Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour) are lamenting how the new Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is filing for copyright of the name, Avengers vs. their squad, the New Avengers.<\/p>\n

\n\tSuch a divide won\u2019t likely be helpful with Dr. Doom\u2019s entrance into the MCU because certain characters in the comics decide to back him or fight against him.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother option of interpreting the post-credit scene in Brand New Day is to see the new location as an off-world Spider-Man coming to Earth-616. Many fans have speculated that Miles Morales of the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) films might join the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>. Holland has teased that he has a clear vision of how to pass on the baton<\/a> of the arachnid-tinged hero, so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what that plan entails.<\/p>\n

\n\tHolland is not currently listed in the cast of Avengers: Doomsday <\/a>(2026), so it\u2019s not clear if that will be his return, or if he could be making an appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). The ending of Spider-Man: Brand New Day raises several questions as to how Holland\u2019s Peter Parker could get past Dr. Strange\u2019s (Benedict Cumberbatch) memory spell because he introduces himself to Ned in the corner shop he stops by for May\u2019s (Marisa Tomei) flowers. They then perform their secret handshake as if Ned has not lost his memory of his best friend. MJ (Zendaya) had let slip that Spider-Man\u2019s real name was Peter after Ned had met the masked wall-crawler, and she herself slowly came around to the idea that she used to know the superhero.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Sadie Sink\u2019s Jean Grey, the telepath saves Peter\u2019s life after he sacrifices himself for her and takes one of Frank Castle\u2019s (Jon Bernthal) bullets in a near-fatal wound. She can be seen heading out on a bus, possibly to Xavier\u2019s School for Gifted Youngsters in upstate New York to be mentored by Professor X (Patrick Stewart). All of this raises more questions about Marvel\u2019s X-Men film in the works with director Jake Schreier<\/a> and writers Joanna Calo (The Bear) and Lee Sung Jin (Beef)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
