The Multiverse Conundrum
The multiverse has opened a plethora of possibilities in the superhero genre, and with the upcoming “Venom 3,” speculations are rife about which Spider-Man might swing into Eddie Brock’s chaotic world. The Sony-produced Venom movies have carved a niche, creating a universe teeming with anti-heroes and villains, distinctly separate from the MCU, yet interconnected through the multiverse’s intricate web.
The Spider-Man Enigma in Venom 3
“Venom 3” is set to roll out amidst heightened expectations, especially following “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which amalgamated different Spider-Man eras, creating a convergence of villains and Spider-Men. This convergence, coupled with Tom Hardy’s Venom’s fleeting appearance in “No Way Home,” has fueled speculations about Spider-Man’s potential involvement in “Venom 3.” However, the likelihood of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man making an appearance seems slim, given the narrative complexities and the divergent paths each character is traversing.
The Absence of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man
Currently, there is no indication from Sony Pictures or Marvel Studios about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man being a part of “Venom 3.” The narrative intricacies and the developments in “No Way Home,” where Peter Parker’s existence is erased from collective memory, make his inclusion in Sony’s universe a complex proposition. While surprise cameos are a staple in superhero movies, Holland’s Spider-Man appearing in the Venom franchise seems narratively incongruous at this juncture.
The Narrative Divergence
Eddie Brock and Venom, despite their brief stint in the MCU, primarily inhabit a separate universe. The transient crossover in “No Way Home” highlighted the narrative disparities between Hardy’s Venom and Holland’s Spider-Man, making their meeting seem improbable in the near future. The narrative priorities for Peter Parker post “No Way Home” are monumental, making his integration into Sony’s Spider-Man villain universe a narrative convolution.
Potential Spider-Man Contenders for Venom 3
The inevitability of a Spider-Man crossing paths with Venom is palpable, given Venom’s stature as one of Spider-Man’s formidable foes. Andrew Garfield emerges as a probable contender to face Hardy’s Venom, considering Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man has already encountered his version of Venom. Whether through multiversal gateways or retconning “The Amazing Spider-Man” films to align with the Venom universe, a confrontation between Garfield’s Spider-Man and Hardy’s Venom seems like a tantalizing prospect.
Introduction of New Faces
“Venom 3” also holds the potential to introduce a new iteration of Peter Parker or even bring Miles Morales into the fray. “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” has expanded the Spider-Verse, integrating live-action Spider-Verses and potentially hinting at future crossovers with characters like Mrs. Chen from the Venom films. Whether it’s Miles Morales, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, or a completely new web-slinger, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man seems to be out of the equation for now.
Conclusion
The upcoming “Venom 3″ is shrouded in mystery and speculations, with fans eagerly theorizing about the possible Spider-Man who might clash with Venom. While Tom Holland’s inclusion seems unlikely due to narrative divergences and complexities, the multiverse offers a myriad of possibilities, from Andrew Garfield’s return to the introduction of new characters like Miles Morales. The intertwining of universes and characters is set to create a cinematic spectacle, keeping the audiences on the edge of their seats, waiting to see which Spider-Man will ultimately weave his web in the world of Venom.
