If you\u2019re just leaving the theater for \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day,\u201d you may be wondering what the hell just happened.<\/p>\n

Tom Holland\u2019s latest Spidey adventure (this one helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton<\/a>) concludes with a single scene at the very end of the credits, one that builds off of an application seen throughout the rest of the movie.<\/p>\n

The only problem is, early audiences can\u2019t decide what it actually means.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re going to break down the most logical explanations for \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u2019s\u201d post-credits scene and how it might tie into \u201cAvengers: Doomsday<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

This should go without saying since we\u2019re talking about the very last frames of the film, but spoiler warning for \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the post-credits scene for \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d?<\/p>\n

In \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d audiences are introduced to the Spidey Tracker, an app developed in-universe by Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) to help him locate Spider-Man based on reported sightings. Ned developed the app in the hopes of tracking Spider-Man down and thanking him for saving him so many times during high school (not remembering that the reason Spidey was always there for the save, and the reason that they were often in danger, was because it was his best friend, Peter Parker).<\/p>\n

Sony and Marvel used the Spidey Tracker for some real-world marketing, featuring it heavily in promos and giving it its own website at spideytracker.com<\/a>. The tracker is another example of how heavily \u201cBrand New Day\u201d is inspired by Insomniac\u2019s recent Spider-Man PlayStation games, with a similar app, the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app, developed in Spider-Man: Miles Morales by Miles\u2019 friend Ganke Lee (a comic book character that also inspired the MCU\u2019s interpretation of Ned Leeds).<\/p>\n

The Spidey Tracker comes to play again in the film\u2019s post-credits scene, which features no actors or live-action footage. Instead, the scene simply shows that a new Spider-Man sighting has been detected by the app, which zooms out to show that said Spidey appears somewhere in outer space beyond the moon. I guess Ned\u2019s coding really thought of everything.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a brief scene that is light on details, so what it actually means is anybody\u2019s guess. Clearly, a Spider-Man is in space \u2014\u00a0but where, and which one, remains up for debate. As early crowds debate their interpretations, here are the theories that seem the most likely.<\/p>\n

\""Spider-Man:\u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d (Credit: Sony Pictures)<\/p>\n

Theory #1: Earth-616 goes into the Spider-Verse<\/p>\n

Have you heard of incursions? They\u2019re about to come to play in a big way in \u201cAvengers: Doomsday.\u201d<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019ve forgotten from movies like \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,\u201d incursions are cosmic events that see two universes from the multiverse cross over with one another, threatening to crash into each other and destroy all life. In Jonathan Hickman\u2019s \u201cNew Avengers\u201d comic (which leads up to his \u201cSecret Wars\u201d event), heroes are given two options when faced with an incursion: They can allow both Earths to crash into each other, destroying both universes, or they can destroy one planet Earth and allow both universes to live. Heavy stuff!<\/p>\n

The appearance of another Spider-Man off-world could imply that the boundaries between the main Marvel universe (Earth-616) and another world in the multiverse are eroding, allowing them to cross over. So who would that other Spider-Man be? The most likely culprits would be Peter 2 (Tobey Maguire) and Peter 3 (Andrew Garfield), who both already visited the MCU in \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there are also plenty of other Spideys that exist in the multiverse but have not been seen in the MCU: Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) and Miguel O\u2019Hara (Spider-Man 2099), to name a few.<\/p>\n

So perhaps this post-credits scene is teasing that the MCU will not just cross over with the Fox X-Men and Fantastic Four\u2019s universes, as teased in the \u201cDoomsday\u201d trailer, but will also feature another Spider-Man\u2019s world getting pulled into the mix.<\/p>\n

The only problem with this theory is that the Spidey Track blip appears to be pretty far out in space for it to be an incursion. Without much data on what incursions actually look like in the MCU, however, it can\u2019t be fully written off.<\/p>\n

Theory #2: A Fantastic voyage<\/p>\n

If Spider-Man is headed to space, he\u2019s going to need a spaceship. Who do we know in \u201cDoomsday\u201d who has one of those?<\/p>\n

A second possibility for this post-credits scene is that Spider-Man has hitched a ride with the Fantastic Four, seen entering Earth-616 on their rocket in the credits scene for \u201cThunderbolts*.\u201d This theory itself comes with two different readings.<\/p>\n

First of all, the Fantastic Four, after arriving to Earth-616, could end up going back to space for a mission in \u201cDoomsday.\u201d If that\u2019s the case, perhaps Holland\u2019s Peter Parker hitches a ride with them, giving movie audiences the first glimpse at the Fantastic Four\/Spider-Man relationship that is so pivotal in the comics.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a possibility that, when the Fantastic Four arrives on Earth-616, they\u2019re already bringing another Spider-Man with them. Matt Shakman<\/a> previously stated that the Fantastic Four are the only heroes native to Earth-818, but perhaps another Peter Parker met up with the Four after another incursion event in their universe. It\u2019s a stretch (get it? Mr. Fantastic?), but these multiverses escapades can get pretty complicated.<\/p>\n

\"DoctorDoctor Doom in \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d (Marvel)<\/p>\n

Theory #3: Welcome to Battleworld<\/p>\n

Another theory is that this post-credits scene doesn\u2019t tie into \u201cDoomsday\u201d at all \u2014\u00a0it ties into its sequel, \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original \u201cSecret Wars\u201d from the 1980s (an event written by Jim Shooter, with art by Mike Zeck, Bob Layton and John Beatty, meant to drive toy sales) sees a collection of Marvel heroes and villains travel to a distant planet called Battleworld, created by an all-powerful being named the Beyonder. <\/p>\n

In 2015, Hickman and Esad Ribi\u0107 rebooted this concept with an event comic that served as the conclusion to Hickman\u2019s time on \u201cAvengers\u201d and \u201cNew Avengers.\u201d In that book, Doctor Doom takes the power of the Beyonders to create a patchwork Battleworld (made up of the incursion points from various Earths) as the last remnant of the multiverse.<\/p>\n

While most people lose their memories of life before Battleworld in Hickman and Ribi\u0107\u2019s comic, a select group of heroes (including Peter Parker and Miles Morales) survive the change with their memories intact by boarding a ship known as the Life Raft, created by Reed Richards and T\u2019Challa to restart society after the death of the multiverse.<\/p>\n

Assuming that the next two \u201cAvengers\u201d films follow a similar narrative arc, it\u2019s possible that Spider-Man\u2019s presence in space is actually him appearing on Battleworld in \u201cSecret Wars\u201d rather than making an unannounced \u201cDoomsday\u201d appearance.<\/p>\n

Theory #4: Let there be Venom<\/p>\n

You know what else first appeared in the 1984 \u201cSecret Wars\u201d? Venom.<\/p>\n

Well, kind of. Technically, Spider-Man\u2019s black costume debuted in 1984\u2019s \u201cThe Amazing Spider-Man #252,\u201d a book that takes place after \u201cSecret Wars\u201d despite being released sooner (in a time when fans were likely far less picky about lore and chronology than they are today). Peter obtained that black costume on Battleworld, with audiences not learning until later that it was actually an alien (with loads of Venom lore being filled in from there).<\/p>\n

Both Sam Raimi\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man 3\u201d and the Tom Hardy \u201cVenom\u201d trilogy already established the Symbiotes as being extraterrestrial, and the post-credits scene for \u201cNo Way Home\u201d revealed that some of Venom was left behind on Earth-616. Maybe that detail will finally come into play in the upcoming films, tying into a spacebound Spider-Man adventure.<\/p>\n

Or maybe this is a stretch even Reed Richards couldn\u2019t make.<\/p>\n
