during the credits
Everyone is back in New York and while Spider-Man is resting near Madison Square Garden, a news alert starts on the big screens. It plays a video message Mysterio left before he died saying “Spider-Man is attacking for some reason”, “He has already weaponized some Stark technology”, and “He’s saying he’s going to be the new Iron Man. No one else!”. We then see heavily doctored footage from a moment earlier in the film where Edith warns of significant casualties from a drone attack. In which Peter responds “I don’t care, execute! Execute them all!”. It is then revealed that J. Jonah Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons from the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy) from the Daily Bugle is the source of the clips. The broadcast then switches back to Quinton Beck who reveals Spider-man to be Peter Parker.

Maria Hill and Nick Fury are driving in their car when suddenly Hill turns into a Skrull and then Fury follows suit. They are actually Talos and his wife from Captain Marvel. After a brief conversation, Talos calls non-other than Nick Fury who first appears to be on a beach, but is revealed to actually be on a spaceship with other Skrulls. Talos urges Fury to return to Earth because everyone is asking where the Avengers are and he doesn’t know how to respond.
