I am one of innumerable Marvel fans who ca n’t wait to see iconicSpider - Manvillains like Venom and Kraven the Hunter fight the wall - crawler in unrecorded - action - so it pains me to recollect of how theMCUmissed a golden opportunity to summate them to Spider - Man ’s franchise . Now thatSony ’s Spider - Man Universe is seemingly defunct , the fates of Spider - Man - adjacent characters it spotlighted are decidedly up in the air . I ’m instinctively inclined to trust that Sony has no further program for these character , which I think is a pity that exemplify the downsides of Sony ’s conclusion .

Say what you will about their flagship movies , but I believe that Tom Hardy ’s Venom andAaron Taylor - Johnson ’s Kraven are top - notchrenditions . Many like myself lamented that these character would ostensibly never go up againstSpider - Man in Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe , but Venom ’s abbreviated excursion to the MCU ’s Earth-616 proved that a migration to the more successful MCU was possible . Unfortunately , I think Sony and Marvel missed the boat , and introducing these versions of Venom and Kraven to the MCU now would take an univocal and contiguous cease-fire between them and Peter Parker .

Spider-Man: Far From Home Ended With Peter Parker Framed For Murder

Mysterio Successfully Painted Spider-Man As A Villain

Spider - Man : Far From Homeexpertly inclose Mysterio as a villain who handle illusion and misinformation as a cock to kill Peter Parker as he was still reeling from the loss of his wise man , Tony Stark . His misinformation campaign include painting himself as a multiversalsuperhero perfectly placed to supplant Iron Man , successfully gain ground the heart and minds of the MCU ’s dweller . After Peter watch through his lies and set about to apprehend Mysterio in London , the villain ’s Hail Mary was to telegraph one final and particularly destructive falsehood to the world : that Peter Parker was a liquidator .

Spider - Man : Far From Home ’s finish says goodbye to Iron Man and adjust up Phase 4 of the MCU in a big means . Here ’s what happen and what it all means .

Quentin Beck blamed Peter for his death , avow that he did so out of the desire to be Iron Man ’s one and only replacement . He also used a soundbite from Peter , " fulfill them all,“to make it appear as though he was using Stark ’s weaponized drones to maximise civilian casualties in Londonwhen he was in fact command EDITH to execute all cancelation procedures . regrettably for Spider - Man , the bogus news stuck , bend him into a castaway among half the population . Worse still , Beck unveil Spider - Man ’s secret identity , setting up meaning turmoil inSpider - Man : No Way Home .

Far From Home’s Ending Set Up The Perfect Time For Venom And Kraven To Fight Spider-Man

Sony’s Antiheroes Could Have Pursued The “Villainous” Spider-Man

Venom and Kraven ’s descent movies established them both as antiheroes who adhere to a strict moral codification that exclusively puts sinner in their cross - hair . While this is a relatively comic - accurate MO for Venom , despite glossing over his villainous origins , the same ca n’t be enounce for Kraven , asKraven the Hunterdeparts importantly from the source material by paint him as a deadly vigilance man . Nevertheless , with Spider - Man now successfully portrayed as a particularly brawny scoundrel , it tolerate to cause that the two vigilance man would want to engage and subdue someone they may have also believed killed several innocent .

With that in mind , I ’m now convinced that Spider - Man : No means Home should have featured the conflict we all want to see .

Venom recognizes Peter Parker in thepost - credit entry conniption forVenom : Let There Be Carnage , which is why he is channelise to the MCU ’s Earth-616 along with other Spider - Man rivals aware of his indistinguishability ( though he ’d pass the entirety of his jaunt at a bar ) . WhileKraven the Hunterdidn’t so much as reference Spider - Man ’s cosmos , meanwhile , it ’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the world ’s enceinte hunter might have learn this all important informationsomewhere in his travels . With that in mind , I ’m now convinced thatSpider - Man : No Way Homeshould have feature the fight we all need to see .

Peter Parker Is Anonymous Once More

While it ’s unclear how great the ambit of Doctor Strange ’s spell is , everyone has now forgotten who Peter Parker is . Even if there is a workaround that allows inhabitants of other universes to retain that knowledge , however , the style that Aaron Taylor - Johnson ’s Kraven and Tom Hardy ’s Venom have been characterized now preclude them from go after Spider - Man , who is once again a superhero . WhileVenom : Let There Be Carnageadmittedly hinted that Venom harbor a deep rancour for Spider - Man , I find it hard to see how Sony and Marvel could rationalise the noble Kraven renege on on his morals just this once .

Aaron Taylor - Johnson also present the MCU ’s Quicksilver , who is probably more probable to change by reversal up as a multiversal variant during the climax of the Multiverse Saga .

This ultimately means that these version of the characters have been write out of the MCU , which makes me pretty sad . While the multiverse provides the idealistic in - road for Sony ’s Kraven and Venom to join the MCU after the end of Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe , I do n’t see why Marvel Studios would need to do so without it preceding a well - justified do between them andSpider - Man . Unfortunately , I finger like this is curtain for both quality , and we might instead have to calculate frontward to all - new renditions created within the MCU .
