Spider-Man: Brand New Day theory changes entire post credit scene and Avengers: Doomsday set up
If you are yet to watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day then please head to the LADbible homepage and read something else.
That’s because a new fan theory has suggested that the post-credits scene could be teasing something more exciting than the future of Tom Holland's character.
The scene follows Ned Leeds' Spider Tracker app as it searches for Spider-Man.
At first, it finds him in New York before losing his signal. The tracker then zooms out past Earth into space and finally announces, ‘Location found’.

Most fans believe this means Holland's Spider-Man has left Earth and is heading into Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
Tom Power, from TechRadar, instead reckons the tracker may not be following Holland at all.
The film never confirms the app only tracks the MCU's Spider-Man. If it can detect any Spider-Man across the multiverse, it could instead be picking up Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield's versions.
This idea fits with what is currently known about Avengers: Doomsday, which features heroes from several Marvel worlds, including the MCU, the Fox X-Men universe and the Fantastic Four universe.
“Now, I know that's a stretch, but hear me out. After all, everything we learn about the Spidey Tracker in Brand New Day suggests it's tailored specifically to the MCU's Spider-Man, so why would it detect another wallcrawler, such as Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield's, instead?” Power writes.
“Well, for one, we don't actually know that the Spidey Tracker has been custom-built for Holland's version. If it hasn't, there's no reason why it wouldn't detect one of his multiversal variants.
“That multiversal aspect is perhaps the most crucial part of my theory, too.
“The next two Avengers movies will be the culmination — and celebration — of every Marvel Universe we've seen on the big screen. That includes the MCU, the original Fox X-Men franchise, and — based on myriad rumors that have been circulating online for months — the realities inhabited by Maguire and Garfield.”
And so the theory suggests Maguire's Spider-Man could be caught in one of these Incursions, causing his universe to collapse and explaining why the tracker finds a Spider-Man somewhere in space.
Power also mentions Holland’s recent interview on the Celebrity Surprise YouTube channel, when he was asked if Maguire would appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
"He's not in the movie [Spider-Man 4], but... yeah, I... yeah, careful now," he said.
“Does he know that Maguire will feature in Doomsday and/or Secret Wars? I wouldn't be shocked if he does,” Power concludes.
“After all, Holland, Maguire, and Garfield all shared the screen in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. If they still keep in touch, it's plausible they've discussed their possible involvement in one or both forthcoming Avengers films, with Maguire potentially telling them — in the strictest confidence — that he's in Avengers: Doomsday. For the sake of my offbeat theory, I hope that's the case.
