Hey guys, let's break down the ending and post -credits scene of Spider -Man: Brand New Day, and how it sets up Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, the new X -Men movie, and Venom in the MCU.

Welcome back Screen Crush, I'm Ryan Airy, and the final fight of the film actually perfectly expresses the movie's theme.

See, in almost every Spider -Man story, Peter struggles with balancing his life as Peter Parker with his duties as Spider -Man.

Raimi's Spider -Man 2 showed us what happened when he fully embraced his identity as Peter Parker.

Help!

And in this movie, we get to see the inverse.

We see what happens after four years of him just being Spider -Man.

The Spider starts to overtake his life and his body.

As his AI says, the arachnid DNA actually starts to overtake his human DNA, and this leads to him becoming more aggressive and losing control.

Peter is surrounded by characters who also express this theme.

Punisher is a perfect example of what happens when you abandon your personal life for a crime -fighting crusade.

Banner is also an example of somebody who's trying to keep his monstrous dark half contained.

But most importantly, Sadie Sink's Jean Grey is somebody who has that great power, who has never learned to use it with great responsibility.

He said it, he said it.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I mean, Spider -Man's got the best villains ever.

Why is she the bad guy?

Well, the point of the movie is that Peter has become

so good at being Spider -Man that no normal villain could actually be a credible threat.

Instead, the overarching threat for him is that he is a workaholic who needs to look after himself.

I feel extremely seen by this movie.

Now, the irony here is that nobody remembers who he is except for his enemy, Jean Grey.

of somebody who has abandoned any hope for a normal life.

So symbolically, she is living her life through other people's bodies and living through their memories.

There's even a chance that when she kisses Peter through MJ, that might be her very first kiss.

Now, in the climax of the movie, Damage Control is holding Jean at their facility on Roosevelt Island,

which has special significance for Spider -Man movie fans because it's where the climax of part one was filmed.

Now all through the movie, Damage Control has slowly shown us how their original mission has become corrupted.

Tony Stark co -founded the organization to mitigate damage from superhero battles, but over the past few years, we have seen them evolve into an agency that puts far more emphasis on control.

First, they appropriated Stark drones in No Way Home, and then used them against Kamala Khan in the show Ms. Marvel.

Then, in this movie, we see them use Sarah Gray's telepathic powers to mind control the hand.

Thank you is an X -Men villain from the comics.

He works with the government to help oppress mutant kind.

In this film, he conducts experiments on Sarah to steal her powers, which also killed her before the experiments were finished.

So now he has kidnapped Jean in order to finish the job.

Now this is going to have major, major implications for the mutant saga that we're going to talk about in just a bit.

So Spider -Man's biggest weakness is actually his secret identity, because once that information falls into the wrong hands,

the people he cares about are then this in real life.

Recently, Panera Bread was hacked and leaked the data of 5 million customer accounts.

And we're talking people's names, emails, phone numbers, even their home addresses were leaked online by cyber criminals.

And this sort of thing happens to people all the time.

"Person, but we have a Panera account.

We gotta cast a spell.

Destroy the computer !" No, no, no. We're good because of Incogni, the sponsor of today's video.

Incogni is by far one of my favorite sponsors we work with.

This is the app that they don't want you to know about.

information and then they sell it to data brokers who use it for scam calls, spam emails, and even to steal your identity.

Your sensitive information could be out there right now without you even knowing it.

We're talking about your health history, your social security number, even information about your kids.

But Incogni contacts these data brokers on your behalf to remove your information, which they legally have to do.

For instance, they've already completed more than 1 ,000 requests on my behalf.

And to make sure that your loved ones are secure, you can also sign up

This includes the custom removal feature where you can identify websites

that are sharing your information and then Incogni takes care of the rest.

Look, I've had my identity stolen before and it sucks.

One time criminals even used information from my family to file taxes in their name and steal their refund.

It's all incredibly scary, but Incogni is here to help.

It's a great deal that you don't want to miss.

I love using this product.

Now back to what I was two turning points in the movie's climax.

The first is when she looks at the vent above her, and she sees that Vent Max has been tattered and actually reads V Max, her sister's dying thought.

This is when she understands that they tortured and killed her sister, and the trauma of this knowledge triggers her mutation to grow.

Then we see exactly how powerful she is, controlling a huge section of Manhattan and holding everybody in place with telekinesis.

Peter is given two Frank's way with violence.

Or he can beat her Peter Parker's way with empathy.

So he finally opens up to someone and invites her into his mind and thereby into his life.

For the first time in this movie, Peter lets his guard down.

He invites her into a memory of Peter talking to May shortly

big changes and letting him know that having powers doesn't mean that he's no longer himself.

But then they pull this brilliant move where Jean is suddenly sitting in Peter's place.

So May is now giving both of them this advice.

So she tells Peter slash Jean, we love you because we're you.

And knowing that is your greatest responsibility.

Now for Peter, he needs to hang on to this moment because it guides him through his life as Peter Parker.

But for Jean, this is a moment where she's Instead of just reading somebody's thoughts, she gets to feel what they feel.

Jean has gone through this movie not allowing herself to relate to anyone else.

She closed herself off from others after her sister died.

But finally, in this moment, she and Peter have found someone they can each relate to.

They've both lost people and because of that, they've lost sight of the reason for living.

Then he saves her life, taking a bullet for her, and she returns the favor by using her powers to keep him alive.

Later, when Peter leaves the hospital, he enters a crowd of people cheering for Spider -Man, who have no idea who he is.

They love me.

Frank wears the Spider -Man mask to get cheers from the crowd, and in this moment, Peter is finally able to sever these two identities.

He sees that Spider -Man is important.

He's the hero of New York,

but it's also possible for him is continuously buying flowers for Aunt May's grave in order to honor the dead.

Until that party crash scene when he inadvertently brings flowers to the living, Ned and MJ.

He's about to buy more flowers for May when he catches sight of Ned in the deli, and this is just a beautiful moment.

We already saw that Ned and Spider -Man get along like they were old friends.

And Peter now decides to re -meet his old friend, but without his mask.

Now, when he shakes his hand, this naturally evolves into their special handshake that we first saw in Homecoming.

Now, the look on Ned's face, at first he is confused, like his hand is moving without his knowledge.

And this is similar to how Spider -Man's body was able to dodge while he was in his astral form.

You should not be able to do that.

Now, I bring this up because I think that there is a form of magic at work here.

At the end of the handshake, the cobwebs are gone and Ned says, as we cut to black.

And this, of course, is in tradition with other Spider -Man endings in the MCU, which also end on a smash cut cliffhanger.

Yeah, but why did Ned remember Peter, but MJ didn't?

100

Simple.

101

Ned has inherent magic abilities.

102

A wizard did it.

103

I see.

104

All right.

105

Yes.

106

This is why he was able to use a sling ring in No Way Home.

107

He even said that his grandmother said he was special.

108

I have magic.

109

Maybe the special handshake activated some kind of muscle memory to break through the memory spell because of his magical abilities.

110

But what about MJ?

111

Well look, they could spend the next movie trying to help her break the spell, but frankly, I think the series is a lot better if they don't.

112

When Peter and Mary Jane were married in the comics, this actually shut the door on many potential Spider -Man stories.

113

Peter always has to be the hard luck guy, and we just can't feel that bad for a guy who's in a relationship with Zendaya.

114

Now in the comics, they did end up breaking up Peter

115

and MJ after he made a deal with Mephisto to keep his aunt alive.

116

become friends and I think they should do the same thing here.

117

So in future movies, Peter could date characters like the Black Cat or Gwen Stacy and he could remain friends with MJ.

118

I don't think MJ would even want her memory restored.

119

Like when she discovers Peter's note, she refers to her past self as a different person and pretty much says, "Look, I'm not her." "You know,

120

I'm still not who you want me to be." "I know, but who you are ain't so bad." But maybe in the very last Tom Holland movie,

121

her old memories.

122

Hell, maybe even Gene's enhanced abilities could unlock the part of MJ's memories that have been erased.

123

And speaking of Gene, let's talk about how this movie sets up the mutant saga

124

and the X -Men before we get into Avengers Doomsday and Secret Wars and Venom.

125

So you guys know, we're huge X -Men fans, which is why we designed this new Xavier School for Gifted Youngster shirt at our merch store

126

and brand new Spider -Man inspired merch drops.

127

We have this Empire State University, this kick -ass cinema shirt with a tribute to my favorite scene from any Spider -Man 101,

128

which is like when Peters 1 and 2 learned to use their organic webbing.

129

And we also have a tribute to the second greatest Spider -Man scene of all time.

130

And there's also this parody of the fly, the spider.

131

All of our merch is 15 % off through next week and orders over a hundred bucks get free shipping.

132

Thank you guys for your support.

133

So now let's talk about Jean Grey and what's next for the mutant saga.

134

Now, as a lot of you know, Marvel Studios wasn't actually allowed to include mutants in their films until they purchased 20th Century Fox in 2018,

135

rather than slowly introduce into this universe, like they do in this movie, they opted to bring back characters from the Fox X -Men universe for the multiverse saga,

136

which is going to culminate in Doomsday and Secret Wars.

137

Following that, the old Fox movies will be done, and we will get an all -new X -Men cast rebooted in a new film by director Jake Schreier.

138

They're going to make him do this till he's 90.

139

Now, this movie ends with Jean on the run.

140

Damage Control knows who she is, and they'll be looking for her.

141

The news report also says that Metzger has been ousted from his job,

142

but that just means be somebody with an even more anti -mutant stance like Henry Peter Geirich.

143

In the comics, he is a consistent government antagonist to the X -Men.

144

Did you honestly think we'd roll over and let mutants take over the planet?

145

Tolerance is extinction.

146

Now, as I said earlier, damage control has slowly become a more threatening group.

147

They started off as a government agency with a broad range of duties, but then all it took were the right bureaucrats to take advantage of their

148

that their number one goal now is to arrest more and more people with powers to simply justify their own existence.

149

So, when they meet mutants like Jean Grey, they're gonna lock them up with no trial, which is what they did to Trevor Slattery in that show.

150

Damage Control is also about to hit a bonanza as mutants will start appearing all over the world.

151

"You know how the government will respond.

152

They'll reintroduce the registration act." "Oh, Wes." The president could declare a state of emergency.

153

place every mutant in the country under arrest.

154

And it's only a matter of time before the Department of Damage Control is rebranded as the Mutant Control Agency.

155

Stark's Iron Legion can be expanded and rebranded as Sentinels.

156

And Peter Parker, God love him, just gave them a huge gift by creating the inhibitor chip in this movie.

157

I mean, when you put it like that.

158

Bruce Banner even asks Peter, how do you know what powers you want to inhibit?

159

How do you decide what part of nature is good or bad?

160

This event is laying the foundation of anti -mutant bigotry.

161

Now, damage control can repurpose that technology as the mutant control collars

162

that are used to enslave mankind in Days of Future Past.

163

And we also hear that Metzger is on the run,

164

which makes me wonder if Tramiel Tillman could return as the shape -shifting villain Mr. Sinister in disguise.

165

So Nathaniel Essex is a classic X -Men villain who we've actually never seen in live action before, although it is rumored that he will be played by Adam Driver.

166

Mr. Sinister specializes in genetics and has a particular obsession with the DNA of Scott Summers and Jean Grey.

167

And it would make sense if Metzger also has this obsession because he has seen firsthand how powerful Jean Grey is.

168

So it's looking like Charles Xavier is going to form his school as a sanctuary against the government.

169

I would love to see an X -Men movie that starts with these kids as runaways, but then the professor has to gradually gather them together.

170

In fact, I think he should initially bring them together just strictly as a school

171

and insist that they not use their powers as a paramilitary fighting force.

172

men issue one when magneto attacks he realizes

173

that the world needs to see heroic mutants

174

and he forms the x -men now in the comics gene

175

was actually charles's first student he helped her control her telepathic abilities

176

when the death of her sister triggered them

177

which actually is similar to what happens in the third act of this film

178

so maybe gene is once again his first student and then helps him gather other students to the school

179

Now we do see her on a bus headed into a rural area that could be upstate New York, maybe not far from where Xavier's mansion is in Westchester County.

180

We could also keep seeing mutants introduced in other movies to make us really understand that, hey, these kids are lost.

181

They need a home.

182

I'm not a kid anymore.

183

I'm one of you, one of the X -Men, and it means more to me than anything in the world.

184

Now in the comics, Jean is one of the most powerful mutants on earth, She starts off with a 30 -foot range for her powers,

185

but then, through trauma, her abilities expand.

186

And this is actually similar to what unlocked Deadpool's powers like we saw in the first film.

187

Now, in the comics and in X -Men 97, we have seen mutants undergo a secondary mutation, like Emma Frost gaining the ability to turn into Diamond.

188

But this isn't really what happened to Jean.

189

She just learned how to use her powers and unlocked more of her potential.

190

And I just have to say, when Jean unlocked her power in this movie, I am really, really glad that they didn't have like Phoenix flames around her or anything like that.

191

The Phoenix saga is one of the greatest comics ever told, and they keep adapting it wrong in the movies.

192

See, the reason the Phoenix Force initially attached itself to Jean is

193

because she is a super powerful mutant like we see in this movie.

194

And now, after this incident, I think Jean going forward will be afraid to lose control of her powers again.

195

unlocking her power, which by the way is what happened in the original Phoenix Saga comics.

196

However, rumor has it that before we see her in X -Men, Sadie Sink will instead return in Avengers Secret Wars.

197

Now, in the 2015 Secret Wars comic, Doom collects the remnants of the multiverse and remakes them into Battleworld.

198

He rules this planet as God Emperor, but crucially, no one remembers the universe from before,

199

except for a select group of characters who survived on a space adapt this idea,

200

but with different characters on the ship.

201

Some possibilities include Sadie Sink's Jean Grey, because after all, when everybody's minds have been wiped, it would be handy to have a telepath who can help people remember.

202

We could also see the Young Avengers on this arc, maybe Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and maybe Tobey Maguire's Spider -Man or Tom Holland's Spider -Man.

203

I mean, really, the possibilities are limitless, but I think Tom Holland's a lock for reasons I'll talk about in a second.

204

So now let's talk about the post -credits scene.

205

So we see Ned's sighting, but the location is unknown.

206

Now, earlier in the movie, we saw this app was filled with different Spider -Man sightings, but here New York is devoid of any Spidey icons.

207

So then the camera's forced to pull out

208

and move away from Earth until it lands somewhere in space and says location found.

209

Now, look, it's not like Ned has a tracker on Spider -Man.

210

The only way for someone to actually report him

211

when he's in space is if someone in space was using the spider tracker and is in space,

212

but he's using the Spider Tracker software to let Ned know that he is safe and in outer space.

213

Now, the end credits tell us that Spider -Man will return, but they don't tell us when he'll return.

214

So there's a few possible implications here.

215

Now, a lot of people are wondering why Tom Holland hasn't been announced in the Doomsday cast, and there's two really good reasons for this.

216

In this movie, Yelena establishes that in her eyes, there are some problems that are Spider -Man jobs, and the big problems are Avengers jobs.

217

So, when the multiversal crisis hits, Yelena would not call Peter Parker.

218

See, she has no idea that he has any multiversal experience.

219

The other reason for Tom Holland not to be in this movie is more practical.

220

While they were filming Doomsday, Tom Holland was busy filming Spider -Man Brand New Day.

221

So, he could pop up in a cameo or a post -credits scene, but he's likely not going to have a larger role till Secret Wars.

222

that at the end of Doomsday, the heroes have lost.

223

Doom will destroy the multiverse, but Reed's rocket can serve as a kind of space arc.

224

Just like in the comics, he can't save his entire family, but he is able to save a ragtag group of variants.

225

For whatever reason, this includes Peter.

226

And when he's in space, he sends a message via the Spidey Tracker to let Ned know that he is off the planet.

227

And then the multiverse is destroyed, and Peter is part of a select few people who remember the old universe.

228

Now there's also speculation that Doomsday will end with Dr. Doom presiding over revealing that he has the face of Tony Stark.

229

So, in Secret Wars, Peter's greatest enemy will have the face of his father figure.

230

This is a great storyline to tell, so I think it makes sense to save it for Tom

231

Holland's Peter Parker to go through it in Secret Wars after Doom's face has been revealed.

232

I also think it's likely he will re -team with Peter number two.

233

He and Toby can discuss their organic webs and how itchy it makes their forearms.

234

Now, the original Secret Wars comic did have a lasting impact on Peter Parker.

235

On Battleworld, he obtained the black costume that out to be the alien symbiote.

236

The Russo brothers said years ago

237

that the 1984 version of Secret Wars was their favorite comic book when they were growing up.

238

Mine too.

239

And you know that they just can't pass up the chance to replicate this panel on screen.

240

So I think Spider -Man will definitely get his black suit in Secret Wars, which brings us to a vital character in this movie, Police Captain Gene DeWolf.

241

In the comics, she is a close ally of Spider -Man until she is murdered.

242

Then, a reporter named Eddie Brock mistakenly thinks he caught the killer, but when Spider -Man proves him Rock swears revenge on Spider -Man,

243

which is why, when Peter rejects the symbiote, it bonds with Eddie Brock.

244

So I 100 % think this movie is setting up an entire film with Spider -Man wearing the black suit,

245

which is going to be followed by a full -on Spider -Man vs. Venom movie for the sixth Tom Holland film.

246

And if you notice, we also see that Damage Control has developed sonic weapons, probably adapted from the cannons that the army used against the Hulk and the Incredible Hulk.

247

because sound is a crucial weakness of his.

248

And this would bring this new trilogy full circle.

249

So guys, that's everything we think Brand New Day is setting up.

250

Tom Holland on SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, THE ODYSSEY, plus Kevin Feige & Amy Pascal!

Business EnglishDaily ConversationUniversity Students

What You'll Learn

Practice 3 key speaking skills with this clip! First, conversational storytelling—how to break down complex ideas (like movie plots) into clear, engaging chunks. Second, emphatic stress to highlight key points (e.g., "the arachnid DNA actually starts to overtake his human DNA"). Third, natural hesitation (like "I mean, Spider -Man's got the best villains ever") to sound more authentic in casual speech. Perfect for IELTS speaking practice or everyday fluency!

Listen For These Sounds

Notice how connected speech makes the dialogue flow. Listen for linking in phrases like "let's break down" (let's-brea-down) and "sets up Avengers" (sets-up-Avengers). Reductions like "I'm" (instead of "I am") and "don't" (instead of "do not") keep the pace natural. Also, watch for shadow speech opportunities—repeat the quick, conversational "Hey guys" to master that friendly tone.

Say It Like a Native

Mirror the speaker's rhythm by stressing content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives) and gliding over function words (prepositions, articles). For example, in "the overarching threat for him is that he is a workaholic," stress "overarching," "threat," "workaholic." Use pauses after key ideas (like after "the movie's theme") to build suspense. Practice with shadowspeaks techniques—play a line, pause, and repeat it immediately. This "shadowing site" - style practice will help you match the speaker's energy and fluency in no time. You'll be nailing that native-like flow before the credits roll!

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	has never learned · has become · has abandoned
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	is surrounded · was filmed · was hacked
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	somebody who has · fans, which is · trial, which is

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
