Regardless of going the franchise being often known as Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, the movie sequence specializing in Spider-Man-connected villains that launched in 2018 has but to really present Marvel’s Net-Slinger… properly, with one small exception. In Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s mid-credits scene, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and his symbiote companion had been transported to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and instantly they noticed footage of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man on TV. Now director Andy Serkis has indicated we might have seen much more of Holland’s Spidey within the Venom sequel.
When Venom director Ruben Fleischer turned too busy with Zombieland: Double Faucet to work on Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Andy Serkis stepped in to helm the sequel. This was Serkis’ third time directing a film, following 2017’s Breathe and 2018’s Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, and he recalled to GQ how Let There Be Carnage’s mid-credits scene got here to be, saying:
It was not sure as to the extent of involvement that world would meet with our world… There have been drafts which had extra, just a little extra, of the opposite. The unstated. It was very, very fastidiously chosen.
Though Spider-Man, his supporting forged and rogues gallery are Marvel characters, the movie rights to this property are nonetheless held by Sony, which teamed with Marvel Studios within the mid-2010s to carry Tom Holland’s Peter Parker into the MCU. Outdoors of a short separation in 2019, this Marvel/Sony collaboration has gone splendidly, however when it got here to Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the studios, there was “numerous coordination” between the 2 sides to determine simply the correct quantity of Spider-Man to function. Granted, Andy Serkis didn’t outright point out Spider-Man, nevertheless it’s apparent that’s who he was speaking about.
Though it was unclear when Venom: Let There Be Carnage initially got here out why Eddie Brock and the symbiote had been transported to the MCU, that matter was cleared up simply two months later in Spider-Man: No Means Residence, as they had been among the many characters from throughout the multiverse the who had been affected by the corrupted spell Physician Unusual forged for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. Andy Serkis didn’t elaborate on how way more we might have seen of Holland’s Spidey in these different Let There Be Carnage drafts, though the truth that he described it as “just a little extra” maybe means that there would’ve solely been extra information footage of the Webbed Marvel, versus Venom and Spider-Man crossing paths.
In the end Venom’s time within the MCU was short-lived. In Spider-Man: No Means Residence’s mid-credits scene, simply as Eddie Brock determined to hunt out Spidey, he was transported again to his personal universe. Though Venom 3 is on the way in which, we do not know if Tom Hardy’s Venom and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will ever meet, particularly since a bit of the previous’s symbiote was left behind within the MCU, that means that franchise might get its personal Venom sometime. As for Andy Serkis, he’s not returning for Venom 3 as a result of he’s busy with different initiatives, so author Kelly Marcel will direct the threequel as a substitute.
Tom Hardy introduced just a few days in the past that Venom 3 has begun preproduction, however the mission doesn’t have a launch date but. In the meantime, Tom Holland’s fourth Spider-Man film stays in growth, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige saying earlier this month that the “writers are simply placing pen to paper now.”
