Venom 3 Finally Introducing Spider-Man In Sony’s Marvel Universe Just Got A Lot More Likely


Summary

  • Venom 3 likely marks the end of Tom Hardy’s role as Eddie Brock, which makes it the final opportunity for him to meet Spider-Man.
  • Set photos reveal Eddie Brock in NYC in Venom 3, paving the way for a possible Spider-Man connection or appearance.
  • Spider-Man’s potential appearance in Venom 3 could provide a fitting conclusion to Eddie Brock’s journey.



Venom: The Last Dance seems more likely than ever to introduce Spider-Man to Sony’s corner of the Marvel Universe. Following two hit films, everything known about Venom 3 suggests that this film will feature the last appearance of Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock. With only Kraven the Hunter ahead, Sony’s universe of Spider-Man characters appears set to conclude or change significantly. There is only so much that can be done with Spider-Man characters while leaving out the titular character. As a result, some speculation has come about concerning the new Venom sequel.


The film looks to end the Tom Hardy-starring trilogy, and Venom: The Last Dance‘s cast features appearances by former Marvel stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rhys Ifans. Ejiofor’s Marvel role was featured in the Doctor Strange films as the hero’s rival, Baron Mordo, and the actor appears set to play a different role here. However, Rhys Ifans played The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latter of which also featured a cameo appearance by Hardy’s Venom. While Ifans’ character is not confirmed in the film, Spider-Man connections suggest some possibilities.

The Marvel movies releasing in 2024 offer a range of film experiences – and some confusion, due to the changed dates of several incoming installments.


Venom 3 Set Photos See Eddie Brock In Spider-Man’s Home City Of NYC

Eddie Brock Is Leaving His Home Of San Francisco


Following the San Francisco setting of the previous films, new Venom 3 set photos indicate that the titular antihero will be traveling to New York City, the home of Peter Parker, in the film. This will be the first time that Eddie Brock has visited the city in these films. The character has been to Mexico in Spider-Man: No Way Home but generally has been stationed in San Francisco exclusively. This being the first time that the character has been to New York City, it has led to speculation about Spider-Man appearances.

Although the first Venom movie filmed scenes in New York City, they either weren’t included or were used to depict San Francisco.


Notably, these scenes have come about recently in reshoots, suggesting that the New York element of Venom 3 may be a small part of the film. In addition to this, New York City is historically an integral part of the Eddie Brock character. While Brock was born and raised in San Fransisco, the bulk of many of his comic book stories are set in New York. As a result, there is certainly the possibility that New York City’s inclusion in the film is a part of Brock’s journey rather than an opportunity to use Spider-Man.

Venom: The Last Dance’s Trilogy Ending Makes Another Sony Movie Even More Of A Marvel Wildcard

Venom: The Last Dance is the last film in the Venom trilogy, meaning an upcoming Sony Marvel film has even more importance to Sony’s universe.

Will Spider-Man Actually Appear In Venom 3?

A Peter Parker Appearance May Be Important For The Last Dance’s Plot


Rumors of Spider-Man appearing in Venom 3 have circulated for some time. The ending of Let There Be Carnage finally established a connection between Venom and Spider-Man that continued in Spider-Man: No Way Home. This connection was short-lived, however, and Venom was quickly sent back to his own universe at the end of that film, leaving behind only a trace of his symbiote. Evolving plans made Venom’s role in that film negligible. However, despite some claiming that Venom 3 has no room for Spider-Man, this sequence has left his character’s journey unfulfilled.

Eddie Brock still has something to do with Spider-Man. The character was momentarily whisked off to another universe and back, and this is a notable part of his character’s journey. Understanding the multiverse and its connections to both him and Spider-Man are essential to unlocking the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It would be strange if that was ignored in this film. As a result, some kind of Spider-Man appearance or at least discussion is necessary for a clean wrap up in Venom: The Last Dance.

3 Reasons Spider-Man 4 Must Be a Street-Level Story Over a Multiverse Adventure

There is doubt whether Spider-Man 4 will be a multiverse or street-level storyline, but there are reasons it needs to be the latter.

Which Spider-Man Actor Could Play Peter Parker In Venom 3

Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland, And Andrew Garfield Have Played Peter Parker In Live Action

Rumors circulated for some time that Venom 3 would see the introduction of a new Spider-Man to Sony’s universe. This Spider-Man would be a child and would have had to be watched over by Venom. Whether or not this will occur in the film, a connection to an existing Spider-Man exists. This connection is not to Tobey Maguire, who himself already had a Venom in Topher Grace. While Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man facing this Venom would be satisfying, especially after discussions of fighting aliens in No Way Home, this also doesn’t follow in sequence with the established plot.


If there is a Spider-Man in Venom 3, the only one that makes narrative sense is Tom Holland’s version of the character. That is the Spider-Man that Venom is aware of. That is the only iteration of the hero whose universe Venom has visited, and whom Venom believes has a connection to himself. Featuring a Holland appearance in the film may be unlikely, but would certainly be effective. However the actor could be featured would make for an exciting ending to the Venom trilogy.

Venom: The Last Dance Trailer Theory Explains How Spider-Man 4 Could Still Have The Symbiote

Venom: The Last Dance’s trailer raised concerns about the film undoing a Spider-Man: No Way Home scene, but a new theory maintains Spider-Man 4 hopes.


Venom: The Last Dance looks to wrap up Eddie Brock’s story in Sony’s Marvel Universe in specular fashion. The trailer for the film has shown explosive action, and the passion behind the project is surprisingly palpable. While the first film in the trilogy was a surprising success, audiences are now aware of how important the character of Venom is in the pop culture canon. Truly, a Venom film does not need Spider-Man to thrive. As a result, Venom: The Last Dance should work whether or not the hero appears. However, there is enough reason to believe a Spider-Man appearance could occur in the film.
