Will Venom Appear In The MCU?

The possibility of Venom joining the MCU has been a hot topic ever since Sony's 'Venom' movies started gaining traction. Eddie Brock’s symbiote antics feel like they belong in a darker corner of the Marvel universe, and with Sony and Marvel’s complicated relationship, it’s hard to say if or when he’ll fully crossover. That post-credits scene in 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' where Eddie briefly jumps into the MCU before being yanked back was such a tease—it felt like the door was left slightly ajar, but no one’s walking through it yet. Still, with the multiverse now wide open thanks to 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' anything’s possible. Maybe we’ll get a proper team-up down the line, or even a 'Secret Wars' scenario where all the versions collide.

Personally, I’d love to see Tom Hardy’s Venom face off against Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. The dynamic between Eddie and Peter could be hilarious and intense, especially since Hardy’s portrayal is so unhinged compared to Holland’s more earnest Spidey. But Sony might want to keep their antihero separate to build their own universe, which is understandable. Still, the idea of Venom interacting with characters like Doctor Strange or even the Avengers is too fun to ignore. Until we get official news, though, it’s all just speculation and wishful thinking. For now, I’ll just rewatch that chaotic 'Venom' vs. 'Morbius' meme and dream of what could be.
