Spider-Man Theory May Change How You See Brand New Day's Ending

A new fan theory proposes that Peter Parker's signature handshake with Ned, at the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, could be the key to unraveling the spell that erased Peter's existence from everyone's memory. The theory posits that Ned's initial ability to produce magic using Doctor Strange's sling ring during the crossover film might have charged the handshake with magic, thus breaking the spell.

The theory is based on the scene where Ned subconsciously remembers Peter's name after they shake hands, proclaiming, "Peter!" before the film ends. This has left viewers divided, with some believing the spell is broken for Ned and others arguing that it's not as clear-cut. Ned's actor, Jacob Batalon, addressed the ending in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, hinting at the possibility of a "slight glint or little glimmer" of recognition.

However, he didn't confirm or deny any theories, suggesting that it's open to interpretation. While the theory is intriguing, it remains unconfirmed, leaving fans to ponder the mysterious ending of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
