H2: What changed in the Spider-Man No Way Home post-credits scene
When Spider-Man No Way Home returned to theaters as the “More Fun Stuff Version” in late summer 2022, Marvel and Sony quietly swapped the film’s post-credits teaser. The original end-credit slot had run a full trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. That theatrical trailer felt out of place after the follow-up film had already been released, so the studios replaced it with new in-universe footage.
H3: Betty Brant’s graduation segment explained
The replacement sequence focuses on Betty Brant delivering her final high school news segment just before graduation. The segment plays as a slideshow of key school memories — a Decathlon trip, a Europe vacation, classroom events — but every photo conspicuously lacks Peter Parker.
This visual choice directly demonstrates the scope of Doctor Strange’s memory spell. The events still occurred and the photos still exist, but Peter has been removed from collective visual memory. The new footage gives audiences a tangible example of what “everyone forgetting Peter” actually looks like.
H3: Why Marvel made the switch
The Doctor Strange trailer had originally sparked controversy because it broke MCU convention: rather than offering story-connected content, it served as marketing for another title. After Multiverse of Madness released (and arrived on Disney+), that trailer in the credits felt redundant and even confusing. Replacing it with Betty’s in-world segment fixed continuity questions and provided narrative closure.
H2: Impact on Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The revised post-credits scene also works as setup for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for July 31, 2026. By showing Peter erased from photos, the sequence underlines the emotional stakes for Tom Holland’s character: friends and loved ones will no longer remember him. The new film — reportedly filmed across Glasgow, London and more on a 128-day shoot — will explore how Peter rebuilds his life. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are expected to return, while new cast additions like Sadie Sink and potential appearances by Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo have been reported.
H3: What this means for fans
The post-credits replacement transformed No Way Home’s after-credits beat from a promotional trailer into meaningful story detail. Fans who debated the memory spell now have a clear cinematic example showing the spell’s reach. The “More Fun Stuff Version” has become the definitive theatrical edition for viewers seeking narrative clarity.
