SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Spoilers - Breaking Down The Film's Game-Changing Post-Credit Scenes

Like most Marvel Studios movies, Spider-Man: No Way Home features two post-credit scenes. What happens? You can find our breakdown of both stingers here, but be warned that some massive spoilers follow!

We're not saying Marvel Studios is slacking when it comes to post-credit scenes, but Black Widow only featured one and we're still waiting for Hawkeye to include a stinger five episodes in! Thankfully, like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals, Spider-Man: No Way Home includes two.

The first ties into Sony's Spider-Man Universe, while also dropping some big hints about where Peter Parker's story could go next. The second, meanwhile, deals with the fallout from this film and offers a first look at what comes next for a certain character ahead of their next solo adventure. 

These are a big deal, and quite a bit more impactful than tongue in cheek efforts of the past (like Captain America's PSA and Nick Fury and Maria Hill being revealed as shape-shifting Skrulls). 

You shouldn't need us to tell you that MAJOR SPOILERS follow once you hit that Next button!
 

Eddie Brock Goes Home

Venom: Let There Be Carnage's mid-credits scene brought Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock into the MCU. The perplexed reporter was pushed to one side, however, when Venom made his interest known in tracking down Spider-Man. Alas, it doesn't happen, and Venom is not the sixth member of that sinister quintet.

Instead, Eddie remained in Mexico and that's where we find him in Spider-Man: No Way Home's mid-credits scene. He questions the barman about the MCU's heroes and is thoroughly baffled upon learning about Iron Man and Thanos (Eddie insists that aliens like eating brains, not collecting stones). Telling Venom that perhaps they should travel to New York to find Spider-Man, he's suddenly sent back to his own world, meaning the fan-favorite character is already no longer part of the MCU! 

He does, however, leave something behind. On the bar, there's a piece of the symbiote that springs to life just before the screen fades to black. Will it find its way to Peter Parker in the Big Apple? The stage has certainly been set for Spider-Man to don the alien costume somewhere down the line!
 

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness

Spider1334444e4eee3e1e

The second post-credits "scene" forgoes Peter Parker altogether, though does address the fallout from Doctor Strange's decision to help the world forget Spider-Man's idendity. In this teaser for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Multiverse has seemingly been torn asunder following the sorcerer's decision to help the web-slinger, and now it's time to deal with the consequences.

You can read our full breakdown here, but we learn that the MCU is being torn apart by Strange's spell. This leads to him seeking out the Scarlet Witch's help, while the first snippets of footage tease everything from a massive squid-like monster (likely Gargantos) to mind-bending Multiversal imagery.

The biggest reveal comes at the end of the trailer, however, when Mordo appears to introduce Doctor Strange to the one responsible for all this madness: Doctor Strange Supreme from Disney+'s What If...? animated series. He's escaped The Watcher's prison, but what could his end goal be?

All I wanna know as far as spoilers is this, if anyone can answer this without getting into too much detail... is there a Sixth villain? Was this a version of the Sinister 6? And if so, who was the 6th member?

@WakandaTech - I agree that it looks amazing, but still has to take a back seat to The Batman. Not even close imo.

See, this is what i mean when i say corporate driven shit.

Can't believe this is how we are getting Venom in the MCU, it's so f*cking souless and we all know why.

Both parties (Marvel Studios and Sony) want their cake and want to eat it too.

I still remember when Spider-man 3 came out, people were bitching over the fact that Venom conveniently dropped near Peter, now i really want to see the mental gymnastics everyone's gonna pull in order to get that lil piece of Venom from that bar to Peter, lel, how forced is THAT gonna be, kinda like MJ Watson i reckon? :P

Serisouly, how f*cked it is that there is no Oscorp or Osborne in the MCU?
That they could be making Secret Wars down the line but instead of introducing their own Venom in that movie and maybe playing with the concept of variants, something they have already introduced, they are stuck with Sony's Venom?

The absolute f*cking state of Sony's curse.

@Doomsday8888 - as I said in another article I don't mind having no Oscorp if they immediately move onto the Dark Reign storyline after Secret Invasion.

As for Venom, I'm kinda expecting an Agent Venom now

@Doomsday8888 - You know, I dont get that phrase at all. The point of cakes is eating them. If you have your cake and don't eat it, you have pretty much nothing. Wanting your cake and wanting to eat it should be the defaul, normal thing to do, wouldn't it?

This was the only part of the film I wasn't happy about. Doesn't make any sense to bring Venom in only to kick him out of the MCU again. Literally what was the point? I thought it was that he would fight Holland. But now he's kicked out again what was it for? To have the symbiote in the MCU? Big deal, you could've just had it crash on a space ship hull like normal and be done with it in 5 minutes.

Also, why was Venom even brought in?? Because he didn't know Peter was Spider-Man. So how does it even make any sense? It just doesn't pay off the great clifhanger from Venom 2.

@Nightwing1015 - Nah I get it, they're playing the long game. This way, they can do the black suit right for Holland.

He'll either get it for a while in the MCU, or get it during the (definitely happening) Secret Wars film - which would be cool IMO.

THAT way, next time they cross multiversal paths, Venom has a reason to want to fight/beat Holland (be whole again) OR we get a traditionally evil Venom in the MCU that Sony Venom has to team up with Holland to beat.
