Here are the biggest mysteries left behind by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, compiled from Comic Book Resources and Screen Rant.
11 Unanswered Questions From 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'
1. Does Ned Leeds Really Remember Peter Parker?
One of the biggest questions comes from the film’s emotional ending, when Ned Leeds appears to recognize Peter Parker again.
After Doctor Strange’s spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home erased Peter’s existence from everyone’s memory, Ned suddenly performs their old secret handshake, suggesting that some memories may have survived.

2. Will MJ Remember Peter Parker?
Ned is not the only person who appears to have a connection with Peter despite the memory spell.
