One Quote from ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Suggests ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Will be Connected to ‘Spider-Man 4’

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the Spider-Man saga has been a rollercoaster ride since day one. The multiverse twist in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was nothing short of mind-blowing, and it’s got me theorizing like a pro.


Since Sony, rather than Marvel Studios, holds the rights to the character, it’s Spider-Man who stands out among all Marvel superheroes for having the most intricate backstory. Initially, these initial Spider-Man movies were not connected to the main MCU films. However, when Tom Holland took on the role, Sony and Marvel collaborated to create a trilogy starring the young actor.

Although Spider-Man from Holland’s version is present in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Sony’s Spider-Verse Universe (SSU), Sony has also created a number of films not connected to the MCU. These movies, which don’t include Spider-Man, are part of a broader shared universe. The most significant franchise within the SSU is undeniably the Venom series, which has operated as standalone stories up until now, but there’s speculation that this could shift in the near future.

Our hypothesis is grounded in the aftermath of the post-credits scene from “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” along with the latest updates regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future. It’s essential to clarify that this article offers an innovative perspective, rather than concrete facts. Enjoy the speculation!

Prior to delving further into our theory, let’s first take a look at the post-credit scene in the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, which forms the foundation of our hypothesis:

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, messing up the multiverse in “No Way Home” was quite the move by Tom Holland, bringing together all three of Sony’s Spider-Men. And let me tell you, Tom Hardy’s entrance as Eddie Brock/Venom felt like a mind-blowing Easter Egg. It underscored just how far-reaching Holland’s actions were – since Venom hails from a universe where their Spidey was still a secret. But hey, it also opens up some intriguing possibilities for the future!

To put it simply, a Spider-Man / Venom crossover seems likely based on the film’s content, but it’s clear that Brock was sent back to his original universe at the end. Additionally, Tom Hardy has hinted that the SSU (Safe Haven International) already possesses their own version of Spider-Man, which many believe could be Andrew Garfield, who is speculated to appear in the upcoming Venom film’s finale.

Although Sony is wrapping up the Venom storyline by the end of this year, it doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve seen the last of Eddie Brock and Venom. In fact, we’ve hinted that Doomsday could pave the way for a reappearance of both Tobey and Andrew if these superheroes find themselves in Battleworld. This scenario would potentially allow Eddie Brock to make another appearance as well, but only if the speculation about Tom Hardy reprising his role proves accurate.

If it turns out to be true that the last Venom film follows this pattern, it may pave the way for the reappearance of both Hardy and Garfield in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This could happen because their characters might be introduced into the MCU through the Battleworld narratives.
