Project Big Screen breaks down Spider-Man: Brand New Day's post-credit scene

TLDR: Spider-Man: Brand New Day is out, and the internet is already picking apart its cryptic ending.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been in theaters for less than a week and it's already generating the kind of review-and-react chatter that follows every MCU Spidey outing. Project Big Screen has been running a full slate of coverage on the movie, and the post-credit scene in particular has people theorizing about where the character goes from here.

What did you make of #SpiderManBrandNewDay’s post-credit scene? We theorize what it could mean for the future of the character in the MCU and beyond t.co/d8iCDX0swU

Without spoiling the specifics, the scene leans into Ned's Spider-Man tracker app pinging a new, unexpected location for Peter before the standard 'Spider-Man will return' text hits the screen — deliberately vague about what's actually coming next. That ambiguity is exactly the kind of thing a movie podcast can chew on for a full episode, and it's clearly working, because the reactions have been rolling in since opening weekend.

Not everyone is overthinking it, though. Some fans are just here to say the movie ruled.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day exceeded the hype. What a delightful movie. Instant classic. God Spider-Man is so awesome

That kind of unqualified praise tracks with the broader vibe around this one. Spider-Man movies have quietly become the MCU's most reliable output, and that consistency is a big part of the conversation, too — not just whether this particular entry sticks the landing, but whether the franchise as a whole has ever really missed.

I know a lot is going on right now but can we just quickly acknowledge how great and consistent the Spider-Man franchise has been?

Between the post-credit theorizing, the takes on NYC as a filming backdrop, and the straightforward this-movie-rocks posts, Brand New Day is getting the full internet treatment right now. Marvel didn't confirm what's next when the credits rolled, which means the guessing game — and the podcast episodes dissecting it — probably isn't going anywhere soon.
