Man Fan Theory Introduces Spellbinding Explanation for Brand New Day's Ending
IGN • • entertainment
Key Points:
- In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker sacrifices his relationships by having Doctor Strange cast a spell that makes everyone forget him, leaving him isolated from loved ones.
- At the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, MJ and Ned appear to show signs of remembering Peter, with MJ holding his necklace and Ned reacting to their signature handshake, sparking debate about whether the spell is breaking.
- A fan theory suggests that Ned's newfound magical abilities, introduced in No Way Home, could mean their handshake is imbued with magic, potentially restoring Ned's memories of Peter.
- Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned, described the ending as open to interpretation, noting it could be muscle memory or a faint recognition, without confirming any definitive explanation.
- While Marvel and Sony plan more Spider-Man films with Tom Holland and eventually introducing Miles Morales, no official release dates have been announced following Brand New Day's box office success.
