VENOM's Brief Visit To The MCU Was "Always Meant To Lead To Something More" But Will It Be SPIDER-MAN 4?

Eddie Brock arrived on Earth-616 in Venom: Let There Be Carnage and left as soon as Spider-Man: No Way Home without ever meeting Peter Parker. However, it sounds like this is all part of Sony's plan...

When the final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance was released, Sony Pictures dropped a bombshell by revealing a first look at Knull, God of the Symbiotes. From there, it took very little time for rumours to start swirling about Marvel Studios' Spider-Man 4 plans.

For those of you who haven't been keeping up, it's been widely reported that Tom Holland's Peter Parker will team up with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock to battle the King in Black on Earth-616. In the wake of Avengers: Doomsday, that sort of Multiversal adventure does make sense but the Venom threequel arguably did nothing to set the stage for such a clash.

Even stranger is the fact Venom briefly visited Earth-616 in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, only to be sent home without ever meeting the web-slinger in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Then, in Venom: The Last Dance, his trip to an alternate reality was almost immediately dismissed.

That's left fans with the same question: what was the point?

For what it's worth, The Cosmic Circus is reporting today that "the inclusion of Eddie Brock in No Way Home and the brief appearance by him and Venom were always meant to lead to something more down the line."

However, whether that's going to be the next Spider-Man movie - rumoured to be titled Spider-Man: King in Black or possibly Spider-Man: Brand New Day - is up for debate. Knull's debut could just as easily be laying the groundwork for Venom 4 or a project like Sinister Six that sees the Lethal Protector assemble a team to battle his creator.

"All I can tell you is that it's happening," Holland recently said on Good Morning America while discussing his new non-alcoholic beer, Bero.

Revealing they've spent quite a bit of time working on the movie's concept, he said everyone involved now feels "strong enough" to go ahead and reiterated that shooting will begin next summer. 

"The idea is crazy," the actor teased. "It's a little different to anything we've done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it."

As for Hardy, he's been quoted as saying, "I want to fight Spider-Man. I want to fight Spider-Man right now. I'm well up for it...Never say never. I've loved every moment of Eddie and Venom and I was really fond of them. I'd play them any time, you know, because there's a special place that exists within me to want to operate those two characters wherever you put them in whatever capacity."

A Spider-Man 4 in the same vein as Deadpool & Wolverine has the potential to be a massive hit, so we still think it's highly likely that Peter Parker and Eddie Brock will cross paths before the Multiverse Saga ends. 

Stay tuned for updates as we have them.

Nope. Definitely don't want that.
Just leave that shit alone, and just let the Symbiote carry itself over for an introduction in Secret Wars.
I don't see the point in rushing a character like Knull, when Venom and the Klyntar weren't even done right in his own cinematic universe.
Just set the stage properly, take your time instead of rushing it.
It's like the MCU completely forgot what foreplay is.

I expect MARVEL to give us a series about the journey of the symbiote piece. An 8 episode mini series about the symbiote squirming it's way to NYC.

Tom Holland has been so weak as Spider-Man that few care. If he was better, Marvel would've found ways to do more.

Honestly, as much as I'm happy they finally got Spider-Man in the MCU, his inclusion and all the changes Kevin felt entitled to make marked the beginning of the Era where Marvel thought they could do anything with any character, and thought any liberty they wanted to take was now earned. But the MCU wasn't made great by taking liberties, they got big by finally sticking to the source material closer than anyone was willing to put on film, and fans showed up with their wallets. Now they think they can do anything... And they can't. They got WAY too bold in believing their own bullshit and lost all humility for the material and began making films that patronize and talk down to the audience and treat the source material like it's secondary to their original ideas.

It's a simple way for Spider-Man to get the symbiote, a story that is bound to happen in the MCU. So makes sense it leads to something. Kinda hoping he even gets in Secret Wars like the comics.

Sony ruins everything. All they need to do is hand creative over to Marvel in exchange for a large percentage of the gross box office and they will make far more money than on the crap they produce.

1- Make the street level movie (ft DD) that we all want. The movie will end with a cliffhanger of the symbiote taking Peter.

2- Secret Wars movie with symbiote suit Spidey (just like the comic), featuring nods to his new personality and habilities. Tobey and Andrew will have the fun friendly moments.

3- Spider-Man 5 straight dealing with the alien suit and leading to Venom.

It's not that hard.

Soooo, Spider-Man 4: "It's a story about a young symbiote, trying to find his place in the world. Constantly underestimated and dismissed by his peers for being "a simple pile of goo", our naive yet optimistic symbiote must navigate his way through the world, searching for his perfect host, along the way experiencing success and failure, trust and betrayal, joy and defeat, always searching for his one true love. Will he ever find it? And will the power of his bond be enough to defeat Knull and the forces of darkness? Will love overcome all? Find out on 7/24/2026, only in theaters."

Tag line: "Goo has feelings too"
