Spider-Man credits scene signals Holland’s MCU return in space
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
The post-credits scene of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” indicates that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and may next appear in space. This matters because it potentially connects the character to Marvel’s forthcoming Avengers films, despite Holland not being officially listed for “Avengers: Doomsday”.
The film reportedly introduces Sadie Sink as X-Men character Jean Grey, while Peter Parker reunites with Ned after the memory-erasing events of “No Way Home”. Ned appears to recover his memories of Peter, raising questions about whether MJ might do the same; meanwhile, Ned’s Spider-Man tracking app locates the hero beyond Earth before the film confirms his return. “Avengers: Doomsday” is expected to unite Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men and Thunderbolts characters against Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
- Spider-Man’s credits scene places him somewhere beyond Earth.
- Tom Holland’s next MCU appearance has not been confirmed.
- Ned may have regained memories erased in “No Way Home”.

Spider-Man is the superhero identity of Peter Parker, a young New Yorker with spider-like powers. Tom Holland plays this version of the character in Marvel’s connected series of films, known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Peter’s recent story was shaped by Doctor Strange casting a spell that made everyone forget who he was, including his closest friends, Ned and MJ. Damage Control is a government-backed agency that deals with incidents involving super-powered people, while Jean Grey is a powerful psychic character best known from the X-Men stories.
The Avengers films bring together major Marvel heroes when threats extend beyond one character’s world, often including events in space or across different realities. “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” are planned future films, but Marvel has not officially announced whether Holland’s Spider-Man will appear in either.
