Marvel fans should no doubt expect to see a host of new faces join the MCU in Phase 4 and beyond. Some of these incoming heroes and villains, such as Shang-Chi, Blade and the real Mandarin, have already been announced but we’ve just gotten word of a potential debutante that might surprise you.
According to sources close to WGTC – the same ones who told us Jake Johnson is returning for Jurassic World 3 and Han would be back for Fast & Furious 9, both of which are now confirmed – the comic book giant is planning to introduce none other than Venompool to its cinematic universe. Exactly when he might appear is anybody’s guess, but we’ve been told that a future Deadpool sequel is where he’s most likely to pop up.
As the fans will know, Venompool is an alternate reality version of Deadpool from Earth-90211, and a result of the Venom symbiote bonding with a multi-dimensional incarnation of the Merc With a Mouth.
Marvel certainly has a lot of groundwork to do before the way is paved for Venompool to join the MCU. Firstly, the studio needs to figure out how to incorporate Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool into its shared universe. Reports suggest that its plans for this could be further along than first thought, but there’s still the matter of how Marvel plans to add the Venom symbiote into the mix.
Sony, of course, currently holds the screen rights to a number of Spider-Man characters, including Venom, so Marvel might need to get them back to the negotiating table, and that proved complicated when the two studios had to thrash out a deal to extend Spidey’s stay in the MCU. That said, there have been signs of potential crossovers between Sony’s Spidervere and the MCU, so, with any luck, things will go more smoothly this time.
Our sources have also confirmed that Venom star Tom Hardy could be involved in the Venompool storyline. It’s unclear how this might work and how many hurdles there will be to overcome, but we’ll keep you posted if we get wind of any updates on this exciting project.
