Thank you, Madame Web!
While I consider myself a fan of Sony’s very first Venom, which turned out to be accidentally good, the following sequels were just as awful as their other live-action Marvel adaptations, including the criminally unwatchable Morbius and Kraven the Hunter, two other villains in the Spider-Man universe.
Madame Web is what broke the camel’s back, according to regular insider @Daniel RPK, who says that Venom is finally making his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that Marvel Studios reportedly has major plans for the symbiote in the next Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy.
Venom (played by Tom Hardy) made a surprise appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s mid-credits scene, where he and Eddie Brock are in a Mexican bar.
Previous reports indicate Marvel has “big plans” for the symbiote as a long-term arc in its Spider-Man universe, and it could begin in Spider-Man: Brand New Day when it hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
They could slow-roll this as they work their way toward Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026) and eventually Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027). Comic book fans are well aware that the black alien symbiote connected with Peter Parker in the infamous and iconic Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #8 (1984), and it took four full years before the symbiote bonded with Eddie Brock in Amazing Spider-Man #298.
The idea is that Spider-Man could interact with the alien suit in a way that doesn’t require Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock from the Sony films.
As much as I enjoyed Sony’s Venom design, especially compared to Sam Raimi’s disaster in Spider-Man 3, there was still something missing. Even creator Todd McFarlane later redrew it on his stream, showing how he would have done it differently had he been asked. Marvel is finally going to get this right.
