Spider-Man Vs. Venom Movie Reportedly In The Works At Sony

Disney and Sony look to have come a long way in the two years since the latter forcibly withdrew Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sending the fanbase into meltdown and sticking to their guns by claiming they didn’t need Kevin Feige and his team to deliver top quality web-slinging entertainment, even though the fact that the studio’s two previous Spidey franchises imploded due to heavy-handed interference would say otherwise.

Of course, the formerly warring parties have now kissed and made up, even striking a streaming deal that will eventually see a huge amount of Sony titles added to the Disney Plus and Hulu libraries. Morbius hinted at some MCU synergy to come in the future via the appearance of Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes as well, and a new rumor is going several steps further by claiming that a Spider-Man vs. Venom movie is already in active development.

The first trailer for Tom Hardy’s sequel Let There Be Carnage only dropped yesterday, and Tom Holland’s contract expires once No Way Home is released in December, so there are obviously a huge number of question marks and variables surrounding the hypothetical project, and the initial report doesn’t offer much information besides saying that it’s in the works.

I remain very skeptical that Fiege will allow Venom and the other Sony offshoots to be explicitly part of the MCU. I do not think he would allow anything to "taint" the MCU unless he or Disney has total creative control.

At most, I would expect either: (1) the Venom world to be part of a multiverse that is theoretically part of the MCU but has no impact or interaction on the main storyline or (2) there will be minimal references to the MCU in Sony films without any reciprocity from the MCU (think how AoS and the Netflix shows referenced the MCU but are basically ignored by the movies) making it an open question as to whether they are part of the same world.

Basic point, I don't expect them to ever be canonically part of the MCU.
