POSTER BY: Rock Rider The film begins with a montage showing the last two years in which Spider-Man has fought various villains. Wilson Fisk is the main villain in a a surprising twist. Fisk has recruited villains (Silver Sable, Scorpion, Tombstone etc.) for a secret division of the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. The symbiote from the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home attaches itself to Peter at the end of the film. The post-credits scene shows Peter in his black suit joining the Defenders. The scene ends with the text “Spider-Man returns in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3”. The end-credits scene has nothing to do with the MCU Spider-Man, but shows an incursion on Earth-96283 and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, his wife Mary Jane Watson-Parker, and a young Mayday Parker watching the events unfold. The X-Men emerge from the rift. Text: Spider-Man (Earth-96283) and the X-Men will return in Avengers Doomsday. This Scene was directed by the Russo Brothers
