Fans expected fireworks from *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*‘s post-credits scene, given that it’s the last MCU movie before *Avengers: Doomsday*. Some hoped for a Doctor Doom cameo. What they got was a quiet app notification.

### Endgame: Two Scenes, Two Very Different Jobs

|  | *Brand New Day* stinger | *Endgame: Encore* mid-credits scene |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Focus | Ned’s Spidey Tracker app | Bruce Banner’s fate |
| Big reveal | Spider-Man is headed to space | Doom arrives to “collect” Banner |
| Doomsday link | Unclear | Direct |
| Fan reaction | Lackluster | Far more exciting |

### What the Encore Scene Shows?

Banner has locked himself two miles underground in a military complex after his first Hulk-out in over a decade. He’s experimenting with a gamma suppression serum. Then the lights glitch, and Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom appears in a bright green glow, saying he’s come to collect him.

It explains where Banner went, makes Doom feel properly menacing, and hints Hulk will matter in the *Avengers* films. As The Direct points out, those beats might have worked even better at the end of *Brand New Day*, which drew a huge audience.

### Why Brand New Day Set Up So Little

There are a few likely reasons:

- **A short runway.** Marvel dropped *The Kang Dynasty* and pivoted to *Doomsday* only in 2024.
- **Tight timing.** Just five months separate *Spider-Man 4* and *Avengers 5*.
- **Overlapping production.** Most of the film’s cast is reportedly sitting out *Doomsday*, so Marvel may have avoided teasing payoffs it couldn’t deliver.
- **A different priority.** The film laid more groundwork for the [X-Men reboot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Brand_New_Day) than for the *Avengers* films.

### Conclusion

Marvel often uses post-credits scenes to clear up loose ends. *The Marvels*, for example, later confirmed where Monica Rambeau ended up. *Endgame: Encore* just does the same job for *Doomsday*, and adds a re-release payday. Maybe a movie focused on being great, rather than on setup, is exactly what the MCU needs.
