Jacob Batalon Responds to Debate Around 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Ending that's Captured the Internet

Jacob Batalon said the handshake may show only a slight glimmer of recognition, leaving Ned’s memory of Peter Parker open to interpretation.

  • Jacob Batalon discussed the final scene of Brand New Day, where Ned performs a secret handshake with Peter, suggesting the moment implies "a slight glint or little glimmer" of recognition returned.
  • The film picks up five years after Way Home, where Peter cast a spell to make everyone forget him, leaving Ned and MJ with no recollection of their relationship.
  • Brand New Day has already surpassed the $1 billion mark, with Batalon describing the handshake scene as "a little open-ended," noting it is "up to interpretation for everyone."
  • Fans are speculating about what the Spidey Tracker app featured in the post-credits scene means for the future, though Batalon joked he lacks "top-brass-level information" regarding developments.
  • Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has noted plans for more Spider-Man adventures, with Brand New Day's success making a fifth installment increasingly likely for the MCU.
