It is January 2025, 2 months after Doctor Strange's spell. Peter tries to move on and goes to college. Now that Ned and MJ doesn't remember him anymore, he's looking for a new start and meets Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy. He's a bit distant towards them at first, especially Harry, since they remind him of his fellow Spider-Men he met 2 months ago. He bumps in on Matt Murdock, who surprisingly recognise his voice and remembers Peter as Spider-Man. Matt tells Peter he's Daredevil and needs his help because Kingpin is on vengeance after he got defeated by Kate Bishop. Spider-Man and Daredevil team up and defeat Fisk again, who got locked up in the Raft. Meanwhile, Mac Gargan brakes out of prison after 8 years and wants revenge on Spider-Man. He volunteers in an experiment to get superhuman strength financed by J. Jonah Jameson, but something goes wrong and he becomes the terrifying Scorpion instead. Looking for revenge he's hunting Peter but eventually got defeated and imprisoned in the Raft. In a mid credits scene we see Peter Parker bonding with the piece of Venom that wasn't sent back to his universe and wears the Symbiote Suit. In a post credits scene we see Martin Li run F.E.A.S.T. after May's death.
