Summary
Following the release of the trailer forVenom: The Last Dancea few days ago, fans have been left wondering whether there will be a connection to Spider-Man 4. There might be an explanation for this.
Fans are ecstatic over the newVenomtrailer. Sony has been meticulously working on bringing Venom back for one last time. However, after the crossover between Marvel and Sony forSpider-Man: No Way Home, fans are wondering if something similar will happen inVenom 3. While the trailer suggests otherwise, some fans believe they have a theory that could bridge the two franchises once again.
While many are buzzing over the trailer, some fans have taken to social media to discuss the possibility of another Venom/Spider-Man crossover.A Redditor, u/Ok-Barnacle5285, explainedthat there is still a chance forVenom 3andSpider-Man 4to be connected, but not as previously expected. They believe that the outcomes of Venom will drive the plot ofSpider-Man, eventually leading to one of the variants in the MCU timeline fusing with his Spidey suit, thus creatingthe Symbiote Black suit.
As Eddie Brock was briefly featured in the post-credits scene ofNo Way Homeand eventually brought back to his universe, fans speculated he would appear asthe main villain inSpider-Man 4. However, after seeing the latestVenomtrailer and hearing Tom Hardy state that this will be the finalVenommovie (as the title suggests), it seems unlikely that Venom, as we know him, will appear again. Despite this, the small piece of the Venom symbiote left in the MCU still gives some hope for this narrative. Redditor u/Ok-Barnacle5285 theorizes thatVenom: The Last Dancehas deeper implications than initially thought. They propose that Brock will sacrifice himself for Venom at the end of the movie. This act will somehow allow Venom to connect withthe symbiote remnants left behind, including the one in the MCU timeline. According to this theory, Venom now in the MCU will look up “Eddie Brock” in New York City and discover a journalist with the same name, leading him to seek out this new Eddie Brock.
Here is where, according to this theory,Venomconnects toSpider-Man 4. The nextSpider-Manmovie would pick up whereNo Way Homeended, with Peter Parker settling into his new life. In this life he is a broke college student working as a freelance photographer, selling pictures of Spider-Man (reminiscent of Sony’s previousSpider-Manmovies). The movie would then teaseVenom’s integration into the MCUby showing the symbiote entering Peter’s room and fusing with his suit. While this theory is intriguing, many fans are skeptical. The doubt does not stem from the idea itself but from a lack of faith in Sony’s willingness or ability to execute such a storyline. Conversely, some fans believe there won’t be anySpider-Manconnections at all. We will have to wait and see if this theory holds true onceVenom: The Last Danceis released.
