‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Post-Credits Scene Reportedly Leaks, and the Doomsday Connection Just Got Real
Marvel Studios has spent nearly two decades turning its post-credits scenes into must-see events, and the stakes have rarely felt higher than they do right now. With Tom Holland’s next solo outing about to swing into theaters, fans have spent months dissecting every trailer frame for a hint of what comes next for Peter Parker.
That anticipation has only grown since the film’s world premiere, where director Destin Daniel Cretton brought together Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo for what critics are calling a more grounded, street level take on the wall crawler. Cretton is best known to Marvel audiences for helming ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,’ and he takes over directing duties from Jon Watts for this new chapter.
Now, just days before release, that carefully guarded ending appears to have slipped out anyway. According to grainy footage circulating online, the scene centers on Ned Leeds and the Spidey Tracker device he first built in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ to keep tabs on Peter across universes. In the leaked clip, Ned’s tracker reportedly reveals that Peter Parker has vanished from Earth entirely, with the display glitching as if his location cannot be pinned down.
The ambiguity does not stop there. Multiple versions of the leak agree that the screen suggests Peter is somewhere in outer space, or possibly even in another reality altogether, with the words ‘Spider-Man Will Return’ appearing on screen and no direct mention of any upcoming Avengers film. That vagueness has not stopped fans from filling in the blanks themselves.
What makes the leak even more notable is the structure around it. Past rumors had already claimed that ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ would break franchise tradition by including only a single post-credits scene instead of the usual two, and that lone stinger was said to be building directly toward ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ Every prior MCU Spider-Man film paired its emotional gut punch with a lighter comedic tag, so a solitary scene alone is a departure worth noting.
Adding another layer to the mystery, The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez has suggested the footage shows Peter so far removed from Earth that an alternate universe is plausible, though Perez has stopped short of placing him aboard any specific Marvel ship or team. With Tom Holland’s status for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ still unconfirmed, the leak has only intensified speculation about whether this stinger adds him to that ensemble or quietly writes him out of the picture for now.
None of this has been officially confirmed by Marvel or Sony, and the studio has stayed silent as the clips spread. The film itself follows Peter as he tries to keep fighting crime full time in a world that no longer remembers him, all while an unseen new threat closes in on the people he loves. Whether the ending matches what’s being described online will only be confirmed once audiences see it for themselves.
With ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ opening this week and ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ looming right behind it, do you think Ned’s glitching tracker is pointing toward a cosmic detour, a flat out abduction, or something the leaks haven’t even touched yet?
