## Transcript

hell it means? Well, you've come to the right place in your AMC lobby. Yes, I can see you through your phone. I'm Eric Boss of the New Rockstars channel and this is an explanation of the ending, postredit scene, and big reveal of
Spider-Man brand new day. Spoilers ahead in this video. Please stop watching until you have seen the movie. I'm going to be spoiling both what happens in the scene that says the future Marvel titles. Before I get into all this, yes,
available at our merch store, nerd riot.shop. Huge thanks to our viewer, himself and his family. We always love it when our viewers post selfies wearing we'll shout you out. Okay, one final
scene and the movie. Actually, if you just want to get to the postredit scene, you can skip to the next chapter. All right, yes, Sadie Sink does play Jean Gray in this movie. Thanks for spoiling it 4 days before the movie came out,
Reynolds was fully aware of this, trolling Marvel's Hall age panel, wearing a literal gray jean denim outfit with a specific gray color tone that was coded gan gray. We all assumed this was the case going into the movie, and the
initially introduced as just a mystery telepath possessing random people in order to break into DODC facilities seeking something she calls V-Max. Peter investigates this with the help of Detective DeWolf and Yolena Bova in her
bath house office. When this telepath tries to break into Peter's mind, the found out Peter was Spider-Man, which was the final scene of Spider-Man Homecoming, causes Peter's emotions to spike. That plus learning MJ has a new
boyfriend, triggers a kind of spider puberty where Peter's arachnid DNA takes strength and gets organic webbing coming out of his wrists, causing him to chaotically spew webbing everywhere, like a far messier version of Peter 2
that we saw in the first Spider-Man movies. Terrified of this monstrous form he's becoming, Peter goes to Bruce Banner to ask how to suppress his DNA, being unnatural if used universally. The telepath figures out who Peter is and
tells him to stay out of her way. Peter figures out this telepath needs to be next body, so he ends up stranding her in a webbed up helicopter, but the telepath gets in MJ's mind and tricks Peter into kissing her and nearly kills
MJ by dropping her off of a building. Peter has to hide MJ on Frank Castle Punisher's boat. And it's here where Spider-Man and MJ research DODC files and facial scans to realize that this telepath's name is Jean. Elaine Gay. Gan
mother, Elaine Gray, whom we learn about in flashbacks, abandoned Jean and her older sister, Sarah, played in this movie by Olivia Booth Ford due to these girls telepathic mutant abilities. Sarah had gotten detained by the DODC and
saved Gan by possessing her to make her sister run away and hide. Sarah wore a green and yellow hair scrunchie, the colors of Gan Gray's Marvel Girl costume. So, just to back up here, Gan Gray is a key member of the X-Men,
played by Fkansen in the earlier X-Men films and by Sophie Turner in the first class era. Originally going by the moniker Marvel Girl in the comics, Gan is an omega level mutant with god-level psionic powers and a host to the cosmic
warping. She later marries Scott Summers, Cyclops, and becomes part of a very complex family tree as her clone Meline Prior bears Scott the son Nathan Summers aka Cable. While Gan later reunites with Scott and bears the
established as having an older sister named Sarah in 1980s Uncanny X-Men number 136. Sarah does have some latent Gene does that helps her resist the failins in the issue when she dies. And
according to this 2014 CBR article, Chris Claremont planned that Sarah would be a mutant with the ability to activate Leighton Powers and other mutants as she kind of does for her sister Gene in this movie by training her. So pulling Gan
with details from the Chris Claremont era is another clue of Marvel Studios X-Men plan. Really just pulling the best story lines and melodramatic soap opera drama from the Chris Claremont era from the late '7s through the early '90s. No
explanation is given in this movie as to the genetic origin of Gan Gray in the 616 universe of the MCU. This universe does already have some characters called mutants like Camala Khan and Neymar. But this film does not use the term X-Men or
co-production with Marvel Studios, I do wonder if there were just some rights issues tangled up with Sony being able to use those terms. Instead, this movie just kind of uses the term special. Gene in this movie suggested to have not just
telepathic and mind control abilities, but the power to manipulate reality born with. Marvel did not in this movie explain why mutants are only now suddenly appearing in the MCU. We may have to wait until the X-Men movie for
of natural evolution or something triggered by the release of gamma radiation from Thanos's snapping of the Infinity Stones. Cindy Moon does appear Professor Bruce Banner about snap logic.
announce their X-Men cast and plans perhaps at D23 in August. What's crazy though is that Gan does commit murder in this movie. Both attempted murder by and walking one man directly into traffic and getting wiped out by a taxi.
And yes, she does hijack MJ's body to cruy trick Peter into kissing her, which really is assault in two ways. And this is all before Gene knows that her sister is dead. So, I won't be surprised if some part of the Phoenix force is
certainly entering the MCU from a very dark place. But getting back to the plot, Peter and Frank Castle go to stop Gene from breaking into the DODC HQ vault tower and to try to put the inhibitor chip on her, but they realize
turned him into his smart Hulk form by breaking his inhibitor bracelet. Then Gene inhabits Frank and Banner hulks out to his bigger original Savage Hulk form, movie. But Savage Hulk resists killing Peter and Peter's able to get the chip
on Gene to suppress her powers and break her control of Frank so the DODC can for someone named Sarah, a name that Peter later realizes Mezer totally lied to him about. So Peter realizes he has to go rescue Gene. And Gene realized
that the V-Max that her sister messaged to her was actually Ventmax on the AC cell, meaning the DODC already experimented on and killed her sister Sarah before Gene was put in the cell. The DODC's goal is to get a scan of
these powerful telepaths brains to replicate that telepathy in the mind of Meanwhile, Peter fights his way into the DODC facility through the ninjas of the hand who are bizarrely working for the DODC in this movie. Peter removes his
inhibitor chip, allowing his natural spider puberty to take effect and declares that he could be both Peter Parker and Spider-Man as he non-lethally controlled by Gene in this moment. The repeated experiments on Gan's brain
results in her expanding her powers as the tech working with Bill Mezer says her brain waves are somehow affecting the objects around her. Gene blasts her psionic waves across the city out from Roosevelt Island, possessing the minds
freezing them in place. Peter appeals to Gene by letting her inhabit his mind. And we return into that bedroom memory with Aunt May. And now Gene takes Peter's place on the bed as Aunt May tells her that there will be people who
special. but she wants her to know that she's beautiful and that there will be special, but because you're you in this beautiful way, the film shows how the comes from Aunt May. And that light will be needed to make every MCU mutant from
here forward feel less alone. Frank Castle fires a sniper rifle bullet at Gene and Peter steps in front of the bullet. Gene uses her reality warping recovers in the hospital. Bill Mezer is still missing and the DoDC is being
experiments. Though it sounds like Bill Mezer, as he is an anti-mutant figure in leading the charge of hunting down mutants in the MCU in the mutant saga. Meanwhile, Gan Gray takes the bus out of town to some place that looks upstate,
perhaps Westchester County, where an Xavier Institute might be waiting for hoping for MJ's love, as she had told him that the version of her who loved instead, he reforges his friendship and memories with Ned by doing their iconic
handshake. And the fact that this is how the movie ends could explain everything about this mysterious postredit scene. We know that after a big movie like you want answers, you come to New Rockstars because you know you can trust

manipulation, bias, or agenda. Welcome back to trustworthy journalism. There is one postredit scene. We see Ned's Spidey Tracker app that he had been using locations of Spider-Man. We see a pin on a block in Queens and the app's voice
says, "New Spider-Man sighting. Location unknown." It continues repeating that as the screen zooms out from this digital version of Earth, keeping that pin of block in Queens. But then the screen moves past the moon as for boating music
plays and there's a red tinted glitch on the screen and then a multicolored floating in the stars and we hear that voice say location found and the pin continues to beep more rapidly and then
on screen will return but it does not say where or when or which Spider-Man. So, what does this mean? I see three explanations, and Avengers Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which will feature Robert Downey
Jr. playing Victor von Doom in an adaptation of Jonathan Hickman's Time Runs Out in Secret Wars story line in which incursions aka rifts between realities in the multiverse cause alternate Earths to collide with each
postredit scene, those alternate Earths are already appearing in space in the proximity of our planet. And in the Doomsday trailer, we can see these all fretting about these three Earths being on a collision course with each
other. Doom's plan seems to be to use these broken fragments of these three Earths to piece together a new world that he will call Battle World. As of been confirmed to appear in Avengers
Doomsday, but he is expected to appear at least in Secret Wars, if not also in Sinks Jean Gray has been confirmed to return in Avengers: Secret Wars. So, what is this Spidey tracker telling us? Theory one, our Peter Parker got
abducted via Dr. Doom's magic and teleported into battle world as it is forming in space near our Earth. Note that throughout the movie, the tracker does leave pins for past locations as it identifies new locations. So, this could
suggest that Peter has teleported from Queens to this newly forming battle world, and he will return either at the end of Doomsday or in Secret Wars. does remind me of the recurring glitching effect of Sony's animated
Spider-Verse franchise. Brand New Day is, after all, a Sony movie. And maybe they're setting up their next Spider-Man release. June 2027, Spider-Man: Beyond on the Spidey Tracker could be one of
arrived in this universe somewhere in space. Theory number three. This is the theory I like the best. Ned's tracker has located another Peter from another Earth, and that Earth has now appeared in nearby space, approaching via an
incursion. Remember, Spider-Man No Way Home established that Ned Leadeds has some sorcerer abilities. He was able to operate a sling ring portal with no training, and he opened that portal to two other Peters. At the end of this
movie, the memory wave spell seems to drop based on the muscle memory of a handshake. When for MJ, even reading Peter's full letter to her did not memories. Ned, based on the look on his face, does seem to fully remember Peter
in this final shot. That could be his sorcery breaking through Doctor Strange's spell. So maybe his Spidey tracker is able to track when another Peter has returned in the proximity of this planet. This other Peter could be a
variant of Tom Holland's Peter. Maybe one who has a black suit from a Venom symbiote. or it could be the return of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker from Earth 96283. I only bring this up because there was a rumored Doomsday plot leak
that I initially wrote off as just bogus until certain Doomsday plot elements initially described in that leak, like Loki's TVA card and Latian witches And I won't go into the details of it, but that leak does describe an opening
scene that involves the X-Men of Earth 10005 that we know will be in this movie and Tobey Magcguire Spider-Man from Earth 96283. In fact, it's so widely Diego Comic-Con when Marvel Studios Hall
past films, a particular shot of Tobey Magcguire and Spider-Man No Way Home got the biggest reaction. Such a reaction that the press kept bringing it up to leads opened a portal to Toby Magcguire's Peter Parker before. It
stands to reason his tech could identify Toby's return to the proximity of our Earth in space. So yeah, Gan Gray will return in Secret Wars. But what is the franchise going to first establish her at an Xavier Institute in this universe?
and just terraform it as part of battle worlds along with chunks of other earths so that Gan Gray can meet mutants from other realities and be part of a new lineup of X-Men in a restored 616 universe after Secret Wars. Like
Avengers Doomsday is the next movie. We're running out of time. We will dig videos, starting with our massive Easter egg breakdown coming to the channel thoughts and theories on this. And a special thanks to one of our NR
