Where in the world is Spider-Man going next? After saving New York City in “Brand New Day,” Tom Holland ‘s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man looks like he’s heading off-world once again. The post-credits scene in the latest Sony and Marvel movie revealed that the hero will return to the MCU and seems to be leaving Earth in his next appearance.

Once he realizes the cause of Jean’s Damage Control crusade, Spider-Man convinces her to release the psychic bubble she creates that freezes nearly every New Yorker at the end of the movie. He also saves her from getting shot by Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and gets hit by the sniper rifle bullet himself.
At the end of the movie, Spidey recuperates, and Jean heads out of town (and possibly to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters upstate). Popular on Variety In the final moments of the movie, Holland’s Peter Parker runs into his former best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) at a cafe. Due to Doctor Strange’s spell at the end of “No Way Home,” the world has forgotten who Peter is, so Ned only recognizes the stranger after he crashed his house party earlier in the movie.
With nothing to lose, Peter reintroduces himself to Ned and they perform their secret handshake without missing a beat. All of a sudden, Ned seems to regain his memories of Peter just as the film ends. Does that mean Zendaya’s MJ could also remember Peter?
Could true love’s kiss actually reawaken her love for him? Earlier in the movie, it’s also revealed that Ned has created a Spidey-tracking app that he uses to follow the hero’s location. During the post-credits scene, the app reappears as it attempts to pinpoint where the wall-crawler is.
However, the Spidey Tracker starts to zoom out so far that it’s clear Spider-Man isn’t in New York City or even on Earth. The app locates the hero out in space, and then the movie announces that “Spider-Man will return” — but it’s unclear when or how. Currently, Holland isn’t on the call sheet for the sprawling cast of “ Avengers: Doomsday .” The team-up film brings together many of the A-listers on the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men and Thunderbolts teams, but no Holland.
However, that doesn’t count out a surprise appearance or cameo from the web-slinger, especially considering the entire MCU is coming together to battle Robert Downey Jr.’s evil mastermind Doctor Doom. If Holland doesn’t reappear in “Doomsday,” then the post-credits scene could point to a role in “Avengers: Secret Wars,” the follow-up scheduled for next year. If the movie follows the comic run of the same name, it could bring together every hero from across the MCU multiverse into one dimension called Battleworld.
In the comics, Battleworld stitched together all the different worlds and plopped every hero and their variant into one new universe. If the MCU followed suit, that could be the reason the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men are eventually able to share one universe. Could that also bring together past Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who crossed over into “No Way Home”?
Fans will have to wait and see in “Secret Wars,” but that could be how Holland lands his next MCU appearance.
