Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s post-credits scene is reportedly heading to the stars.
Insider Daniel Richtman reports via his Patreon that the film’s post-credits scene was described to him as “dealing with space.”
That’s the whole tease — no names, no specifics.
But with the movie hitting theaters July 31, we’re only two weeks from finding out.

Richtman Just Nailed G.I. Joe
Why take it seriously?
Richtman’s last big Patreon drop checked out fast.
He reported that Danny McBride wasn’t just writing the new G.I. Joe movie but directing it, with Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, and Walton Goggins circling.
Days later, The Hollywood Reporter made McBride’s directing gig official.
So when he says “space,” it’s worth paying attention.
Cosmic Spider-Man And The Grey Hulk
Here’s the scenario that jumps out at us.
In the comics’ Acts of Vengeance event, Peter Parker temporarily wielded the Uni-Power and became Captain Universe — the Cosmic Spider-Man.

That led to one of the most famous moments in Spider-Man history: Amazing Spider-Man #328, where a cosmic-powered Spidey punches the Grey Hulk into orbit.
The Todd McFarlane cover is so iconic the original art later sold for a then-record $657,250.
And the Grey Hulk just happens to be who the Brand New Day leaks keep pointing to.
The leaked trailer description had Hulk in his grey form growing massive.
Follow-up leaks claim Sadie Sink’s rumored Jean Grey forces the transformation through mind control.
Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is officially confirmed for the movie, and the promos show him fully unleashed.
A stinger that hands Peter the Uni-Power — or recreates that legendary punch — would be “dealing with space” in the most comic-accurate way possible.
The Avengers: Doomsday Handoff
The other obvious read: Brand New Day is the only Marvel Studios movie between now and Avengers: Doomsday on December 18.
That makes this stinger Marvel’s last piece of connective tissue before Doom arrives.
Kevin Feige has already teased the movie carries Doomsday setup, so whatever “space” means, expect it to point forward.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens July 31, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland and Zendaya.
