The superhero style continues to be wildly standard, with a lot of shared universes in play. Along with the MCU (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription), there’s additionally Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. The latter featured Tom Hardy’s Venom trilogy, and followers waited years for his title character to lastly crossover with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. I lastly watched The Final Dance (streaming with a Netflix subscription), and I’ve obtained to say that the way in which the franchise teased and deserted this plot line seems like a slap within the face.
Venom: The Final Dance‘s credit scene noticed Eddie Brock transported to Earth-616 on account of Physician Unusual’s spell from Spider-Man: No Method House. It appeared like Spider-Man and Venom had been meant to lastly meet… however that by no means occurred. As a substitute the crossover is deserted, and Venom: The Final Dance begins with him instantly being introduced again to his personal universe: Earth-688.
So regardless of followers calling for a crossover and years-long teases that this might occur, Sony completely bailed in Spider-Man and Venom assembly on the massive display screen. Peter Parker has but to seem in any of the Sony universe, corresponding to titles like Madame Net, Morbius, and Kraven The Hunter. Now that Venom: The Final Dance was been launched and the franchise has seemingly ended, it seems like Peter Parker and Eddie Brock will merely by no means get to cross paths on the massive display screen.
Maybe this should not be a shock, given Holland’s noticeable absence from the remainder of that shared universe. However the truth that the studio made these credit scenes to faux us out feels simply plain imply. Doing that sort of set-up and by no means providing the precise payoff is a troublesome tablet to swallow, particularly whereas we see crossovers in different shared universes just like the MCU and former DCEU.
Venom and Spider-Man are two characters who’ve at all times been synonymous, and there have been rumors and hopes of their crossover for the whole thing of the Venom trilogy. Regardless of of us inside the franchise providing hope by means of the years, Tom Hardy addressed by no means getting assembly Spider-Man on the massive display screen. He provided:
I dunno. There are issues which can be candid responses to that, however they’d nonetheless be simply guessing. You understand, simply guessing. I truthfully do not know. I believe in that side, I believe it is approach above my pay grade however not my curiosity grade. I need that too.
Regardless of no matter wanting is there, followers in all probability should not maintain their collective breaths that we ever get to see Holland and Hardy collectively on display screen as their respective comedian e-book characters. With the multiverse take middle stage within the MCU, it seems like absolutely anything is feasible, however authorized points is perhaps in the way in which of Eddie Brock getting in on the enjoyable. Alas, do not anticipate the crossover to be in one of many 2025 film releases.
