Venom: The Last Dance
Before the case ofSpider - human : No Way habitation , there was promise for Sony ’s Venom ( Tom Hardy ) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s Spider - Man ( Tom Holland ) crossing path inVenom 3 , but this is now an impossible challenge afterNo Way Home . As the MCU continues its expansion with the Multiverse Saga , Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe also keep produce by explore the stories of some of Spider - Man ’s most famous enemy , with Venom currently in the lead .
Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe kicked off in 2018 with Ruben Fleischer’sVenom , which introduced clamber journalist Eddie Brock ( Hardy ) and the title alien symbiote . AlthoughVenomwasn’t well - received by critic , it was a success with the audience , allowing it to revert in a continuation , titledVenom : Let There Be massacre , with a third movie now in development . Venom 2had a huge surprise up its arm as its mid - credits scene saw Eddie and Venom being transported to the MCU , where they saw Peter Parker on the word . This fueled the consultation ’s Leslie Townes Hope of finally reckon Venom fight Spider - Man inVenom 3 , butSpider - Man : No Way Homehas now made this very difficult .

No Way Home’s Credits Set Up Spider-Man vs. Venom (But Not Hardy’s Version)
The MCU ’s current era is officially calledthe Multiverse Saga , and Phase 4 take off exploring the multiverse in the television seriesLoki . The MCU went deeply into the pandemonium and danger of the multiverse inSpider - Man : No Way Home , which view the title hero contend with villains from other voice of the multiverse . As his identity was reveal at the end ofSpider - Man : Far From Homeand Mysterio ( Jake Gyllenhaal ) frame him for his slaying , Peter Parker asked Doctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) to range a while that would make everyone forget he ’s Spider - Man . However , the turn was botched and it opened the gates of the multiverse , allowing villains from pastSpider - valet de chambre picture , along withTobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield ’s Spider - Men , to hybridize over into the MCU .
The only solution to this multiverse topsy-turvyness was casting a tour that made everyone blank out Peter Parker , and so the villains , Peter - Two , and Peter - Three were sent back to their several universes , while the multiverse ’s gates were closed and Peter was get out all alone . InNow Way Home ’s mid - credits scene , it was expose that the spoil while was what impart Eddie and Venom to the MCU , so they were sent back after the last spell was be sick – but a piece of Venom was pass on in the MCU . This , then , sets up aSpider - Man / Venom encounterin the MCU , but not with Hardy ’s Eddie Brock as the host .
Eddie Brock is n’t the only host of Venom in Marvel Comics , so there are a twosome of options for the piece of the symbiote that is now in the MCU . Of course , there ’s a chance that the symbiote will hold fast with Spider - Man himself ( hopefully in a better narration than the one in Sam Raimi’sSpider - Man 3 ) , but it could also find a master of ceremonies in Marc Gargan / Scorpion ( Michael Mando ) or even Flash Thompson ( Tony Revolori ) , both already introduced character in the MCU . A theory suggestsVenom could bond with Ned Leeds(Jacob Batalon ) , making the Venom vs Spider - Man fight a personal one for Peter Parker .
Tom Hardy’s Venom Deserves To Fight A Spider-Man
Eddie and Venom ’s story has been explore in a manner that they do n’t involve Spider - Man , but that does n’t intend they do n’t deserve to fight him . After first hold fast with Spider - Man in the comics and after take Eddie Brock as its main host , Venom became one of Spider - Man ’s most salient and popular villain , and was consider one of his three archenemies at one full point ( the others being the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus ) . Venom has since become more of an anti - hero , and has teamed up with Spider - Man a brace of times , so they definitely merit to traverse route on the big screen .

Venom 3 Including Spider-Man Is Very Difficult After No Way Home
As much as Venom and Spider - Man merit to forgather and campaign each other ( and maybe later conjoin forces ) , this is now a stack more hard thanks tothe events ofNo Way Home . Before Spider - Man ’s third solo pic , it was speculated that Venom and Spider - Man could cover paths thanks to Peter ’s identity being revealed to the creation , as back then it was assumed they lived in the same universe . Spider - Man : No Way Homequickly put an oddment to those rumors by showing that Sam Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogy , Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider - Manmovies , and Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe are all part of the MCU ’s multiverse , but at the same time are disjoined from Spider - Man ’s MCU existence .
Because of this , Hardy ’s Venom and Holland ’s Spider - Man ca n’t meet ( yet ) and the World Wide Web - slinger ca n’t be include inVenom 3 , as for that , there would have to be another massive multiverse issue that brings them together . InNo Way Home ’s mid - credits scene , Eddie decided he has to talk to Spider - Man to make sense of everything he was told had happened in the MCU , but this wo n’t make any sense now that he ’s back in his universe .
How Venom 3 Could Still Include Spider-Man
However , just like the MCU ’s Spider - Man can still press Venom , though not Hardy ’s version of it , Venom 3can still let in Spider - Man … but perhaps not Holland ’s variation . As bring up above , in fiat for Hardy ’s Venom and Holland ’s Spider - Man to properly meet , there should be another multiverse chaos that bring them together , but that would depend on whenVenom 3is set . Now , the MCU ’s multiverse has introduced the conception of variance , which is how Maguire and Garfield ’s Spider - Men were brought back , so there could be a currently unknown Peter Parker variant in Venom ’s universe of discourse , wait for a chance to interbreed paths with Eddie and the symbiote . Until story details ofVenom 3are revealed and its position in the timeline is confirmed , these seem to be the only waysVenom 3could include Spider - Man(whether Holland ’s version or a discrepancy ) , and whileSpider - Man : No way of life Homewas exciting , it also made other taradiddle even more unmanageable .
