Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the 38th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ends with a single post-credits scene featuring Ned Leeds’ Spidey Tracker app locating Spider-Man, first in New York City, then zooming out past Earth and the moon to a Spider-Man icon floating in outer space [1, 2, 3, 4]. The final text reads "Spider-Man Will Return," but offers no details on when or where the character will next appear [1, 2, 3, 4].
Ned Leeds, a recent MIT graduate and creator of the Spider-Tracker app, uses the program to pinpoint Spider-Man sightings throughout New York City within the story. Several characters, including the Punisher, utilize the app as Ned searches for Spider-Man to thank him [1, 2, 4].
The scene’s depiction of Spider-Man off-world suggests that Peter Parker’s next storyline may involve cosmic or multiverse elements [2, 3, 4]. Kotaku said, "Spider-Man has gone off-world for…something? Then we get the confirmation that we’ll see Peter again when Marvel’s signature 'Spider-Man Will Return' text appears on the screen" [2].
Tom Holland’s return as Spider-Man has not been officially confirmed. Holland is not listed in the cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie releasing December 18, 2026 [2, 3, 4].
The post-credits scene likely sets up Spider-Man’s role in Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for 2027. That film is expected to explore a collapse of the multiverse and the Battleworld storyline from the comics, introducing a new group of X-Men and Marvel heroes not seen in Doomsday [2, 3, 4]. Some speculation suggests multiple versions of Spider-Man—including past MCU actors and animated variants—could appear in Secret Wars [4].
Avengers: Doomsday will premiere on December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars is anticipated for release in 2027, potentially cementing Spider-Man’s cosmic future.
