The R - denounce pic may have receive   negative reviews , but that did n’t blockade audiences from flocking to see it , withVenomgrossing over $ 850 million at the box office ,   breaking several October record in the outgrowth .

With wad of congratulations from fan , that kind of commercial succeeder , and the viability of this being a groundwork of Sony ’s Marvel Universe , it ’s no surprise that a sequel was soon put into military action .

The release ofVenom 2will come at an interesting time , as it ’ll be just a few calendar month afterMorbiuslands . star Jared Leto , theMorbiustrailer confirmed it connects to the MCU , with a reference point to Spider - Man and an appearance from Michael Keaton ’s Vulture . That then open up the door forVenom 2to tie itself into the MCU directly as well , with a few possible option as to how it does so .

Venom 2 Takes Place In The Same Universe As Morbius - Which Connects To The MCU

Venom 2 , like its predecessor , be within Sony ’s Marvel Universe , aka Sony ’s Universe of Marvel Characters . Although the studio apartment ab initio seek to set in motion this withThe Amazing Spider - Manmovies , the relative failure of that franchise put plan on the backburner , imply it formally started with 2018’sVenom . The next instalment will beMorbius , while there ’s anuntitled Sony Marvel movie schedule for October 2021 . However , whileVenom 2has its substructure firmly planted in the SMU or SUMC , it does now technically live in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well .

SinceVenomshares its globe withMorbius , which has been confirm as part of the MCU , thenVenom 2is part of the existence by association if nothing else . Sony ’s marketing has takenVenom 2andMorbius ' MCU connectionsfurther - an Instagram stake from the Flash Thompson account , set up as part of their viral marketing safari , alludes not only to vampires but also Cletus Kasady . This like a shot links the MCU ’s Spider - Man , Morbius , andVenom 2together , before either of the two Sony movies have even free .

Michael Keaton’s Vulture Could Appear In Venom 2 (& Set Up Sinister Six)

Venom 2being linked to the MCU through viral selling is fine , but it ’s also likely that Sony ( & Marvel ) will desire a more touchable connection for audiences , since what matters most is what ’s on the bragging screen in front of the world , not what the die - heavy fans will see on social media . Given the minx   inMorbius , one of the most logical - and easy - ways of doing that mighty now would be anothercameo from Michael Keaton ’s Vulture , who we sleep together has at least a minor appearing in the Jared Leto picture .

Keaton ’s Vulture was the first principal villain of the MCU Spider - Man era , and there ’s a sense that there is still plenty of bare business as far as his character reference arc is interest . His visual aspect inMorbiuslikely has smashing ramifications beyond just being a play cameo , and with that in mind there ’s a plausible scenario whereby Vulture is setting up ( or at least helping to found ) the Sinister Six in the MCU . There ’s some debate aboutwhether or not the MCU ’s Sinister Six would even be villains , since Venom is render more as an anti - hoagie ( and it ’s have a bun in the oven Morbius will be too ) , but regardless there ’s a clear throughline in that you’re able to have Keaton serve as the Sinister Six ’s version of Nick Fury , going from moving picture to pic and putting together the squad , which would wind nicely intoVenom 2 .

Eddie Brock Could Work For The Daily Bugle In Venom 2

While it ’s leisurely to imagine thatVenom 2 ’s MCU connections will come via the symbiote , it ’s also potential that it ties more into Eddie Brock than it does the Black Suit . As in the comic , Venom ’s Brock is an investigatory diarist , although in the 2018 movie he loses his job after becoming drag in in a trial regarding the Life Foundation . Bythe ending ofVenom , though , he ’s finding his way back into journalism , with Brock readiness to question Cletus Kasady .   While Brock in the comics typically works forThe Daily Globe , it is n’t   unprecedented that he works for the Marvel creation ’s more famous publication , The Daily Bugle- which now just so happens to exist in the MCU .

The newDaily Bugleisn’t a paper , but rather a right - fender conspiracy website in the stamp ofInfoWars , withJ.K. Simmons ' J. Jonah Jamesonechoing Alex Jones and others . If Brock need work , then it ’s very possible that , as someone who is clearly willing to get his hands dirty for a report , The Daily Buglecould come calling . This   may then bind straightaway into the Bugle ’s campaign against Spider - Man , after outing his identity element inSpider - Man : Far From Home ’s post - credits prospect , or it could be more implicated with the Kasady chronicle : the viral marketing post mention earlier featuredThe Daily Buglefront page and had a headline about Kasady escaping , so that could be what precede to Brock ’s interest ab initio , before go down up a role in the life of Spider - Man / Peter Parker .

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Might Have A Venom 2 Cameo

There are a few different ways thatVenom 2could tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but none would be as major a bargain as an real appearing from Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man himself . One of the crowing concerns many Marvel fans had about a Venom solo movie in the first place was that the character is intrinsically linked to Spider - Man , and so it ’s hard to fully do him Department of Justice without   the entanglement - caput being there . Venompartially proved those doubters awry thanks to the incredible treble execution from Tom Hardy , but there ’s no doubt that things would be even adept if this Venom had a Spider - Man to go up against . There were rumors that2018’sVenomwould feature a cameo from Peter Parker , but they did n’t hail to go across , with report thescene was cut by Marvel .

That same chatter has surfaced again , with rumors thatHolland ’s Spider - Man will cameo inVenom 2 . It remains to be interpret just how true that is , but if Sony and Marvel are look to bridge the universe , and with Sony holding a set of the placard in the novel Spider - Man mickle , then it would make gumption to have him look inVenom 2 in some capacity . This would most likely just be a small persona , and may be Peter rather than Spider - Man ( though the world knows they ’re one and the same now ) , but it ’s a pretty logical step ahead ofSpider - Man 3and should n’t be too hard to work in , even if it ’s just intelligence footage or a fleeting confluence between the two . It could even bring together some of the other thread -The Daily Bugleand Vulture , for instance - and laying the base for a much larger Venom v Spider - Man fight to follow in the time to come .
