A new ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ rumor is giving Marvel fans hope that one of the MCU’s most beloved friendships may not be gone forever.
The latest online leak claims that Peter Parker and Ned Leeds will be reprising their iconic handshake at the end of the movie, as Ned still remembers it even after the events of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’.
Peter Parker And Ned’s Friendship May Not Be Lost Forever
In ‘No Way Home’, Doctor Strange used his spell to wipe Peter Parker from everyone’s memory to save the multiverse. MJ, Ned, and the rest of the world forgot who Peter was, and he was left all alone, despite all he had done to save them.

The new rumour is that ‘Brand New Day’ will be bringing that emotional ending back in a more subtle manner. The report doesn’t say that Ned suddenly remembers Peter. However, instead, the two share their iconic handshake, with Ned instinctively completing it through muscle memory.
Muscle memory can’t bring back memories per se. However, it can be a symbolic moment. Familiar habits and gestures often carry emotional significance, making the handshake a touching reminder that some bonds may survive even when memories fade.
A Small Moment That Could Mean Everything
One of the emotional cornerstones of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy has been his friendship with Peter and Ned. The two characters spent many memorable moments together, whether it’s fighting side by side against the multiversal villains or doing something else.

The rumored scene might not immediately cancel the ‘No Way Home’ ending. Instead, it may suggest that something still exists between Peter and his closest friend, even if Ned cannot fully explain why. Such a heartfelt nod to the past would be ideal for the sadder arc of Marvel’s Peter story.
A simple handshake could convey more than words ever could, instead of a dramatic memory restoration. At the moment, there’s no confirmation from Marvel Studios. If it really is the case, though, the scene between Peter and Ned may be one of the most emotional moments in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’.
