Spider-Man Brand New Day Ned username hint

There's a tiny detail in the opening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day that could be a huge setup. When Peter is scrolling through social media to see what Ned and MJ are up to, Ned's Instagram username pops up as thegratefulned42. That handle is a playful mix of The Grateful Dead and the number 42, which happens to be the Alchemax spider specimen number tied to Miles Morales' origin. It's hard not to connect that to Tom Holland's own words about wanting to bring Miles into his MCU corner and mentor a young actor the way Robert Downey Jr. mentored him. He said, "If I would be lucky enough to somehow bring Miles Morales into my Spider-Man universe and into the MCU, I'd love to do for a young kid what [Robert] Downey [Jr.] did for me." That username feels less like a random easter egg and more like a breadcrumb.
