Based on the first trailer for this summer’s Morbius, it looks like the extension of the character-sharing agreement between Marvel Studios and Sony has made it possible to blur the lines between the MCU and their rival’s own plans for a shared comic book universe. Kevin Feige admitted that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker was likely to appear in the Sony-verse at some point, and with several Easter Eggs and one blatant Michael Keaton cameo in the Morbius footage, it looks like some kind of crossover is definitely on the cards.
Under the terms of the new deal, Sony can’t use Spider-Man as a main character, but they are free to include the web-slinger as either a supporting player or in brief cameo appearances, and with Morbius seemingly sowing the seeds for the Sinister Six, fans are eager to see how the upcoming Venom 2 continues to expand the idea of the MCU’s Spidey jumping between two franchises given the history between the two characters from the comic books.
A crossover has been rumored previously, but we’ve now heard from our sources, the same ones that told us about Ewan McGregor’s return in the since-delayed Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney Plus months before it was officially confirmed by the Mouse House, that Sony and Marvel’s plans are a lot more ambitious than that.
According to our intel, Venom will eventually become aware of Peter Parker, and during the course of Eddie Brock’s proposed third solo outing the two will become separated and the symbiote will make its way over to the MCU to bond with Spider-Man. Not only does this set up a potential Tom Hardy cameo in Spider-Man 4, but it also means we could once again be seeing the symbiote storyline play out on the big screen, although hopefully it gets handled a lot better than it did the last time they tried.
As if the synergy across the MCU wasn’t enough already, it now appears that certain elements in the future are set to tie in with events going on at an entirely different studio. Sony will be surely wanting to utilize Spider-Man as much as possible, but let’s just hope it doesn’t end up interfering with the quality of the character’s standalone adventures across town at Marvel.
