In turn , Sony is able to have a whole dealership center on around Spider - Man character . However , since Marvel and Sony ’s MCU deal was a success , Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe sharpen on Spidey ’s villainswhile Tom Holland ’s Peter Parker fought alongside the Avengers .

Unfortunately for Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe , onlytheVenommovie trilogy was meet with a positive responseat the box office . Meanwhile , Morbius , Madame Web , andKraven the Huntergot increasingly tough recapitulation and boxful office results . Despite announcing projects such asEl Muerto , Hypno Hustler , andSilk , Sony seems to be moving away from the original plans for Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe , rather shifting aid to other Marvel properties likeSpider - Noir , Spider - Man : Beyond the Spider - Verse , andthe MCU’sSpider - Man 4 .

Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe already referenced the existence of the MCU Multiverse . InMorbius ' post - credits tantrum , Jared Leto ’s Michael Morbius runs into Michael Keaton ’s Adrian Toomes a.k.a . the Vulture , who somehow got transported from the MCU ’s Earth-616 to Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe due to Spider - Man and Doctor Strange ’s spell at the death ofSpider - Man : No Way Home . Spider - Man : No room Homealso brought Tom Hardy ’s Eddie Brock to Earth-616 for a very brief moment .

The SSU’s Characters Could Return Through An Incursion In Spider-Man 4

Spider-Man 4 Could Pay Off A Multiversal No Way Home Tease Involving Spidey’s Villains And Allies

The key to Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe ’s redemption might be hide out in plain sight inSpider - Man : No Way Home ’s ending . InSpider - Man : No Way Home ’s net battle , Doctor Strange fight to protect Earth-616 as an incursion crosscurrent through the fabric of realism . The rift in the sky easy open and reveals hundred of characters connected to Spider - Man , include Kraven the Hunter , Rhino , Scorpion , Mysterio , and a figure that looks like either Superior Spider - Man or Doppelganger . SinceSpider - Man 4might also have a multiversal plot of land , a like penetration could bring all the characters in Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe into the MCU .

The write up of Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man 4 has finally been revealed , and what Peter Parker is facing in the MCU movie makes a major possibility more likely .

Kraven and Rhino ’s cameos inSpider - Man : No Way Home ’s incursion rift seem oddly prescient , as the two Spider - Man scoundrel fight each other inKraven the Hunter . One of the other shadows in the incursion break come along to be Madame Web , whose SSU movie was also released afterSpider - Man : No Way Home . Spider - Man 4 ’s potentially multiversal plot could take advantage of these graphic symbol ' cameos inSpider - Man : No direction Homeand feature a full - blown penetration that brings them over to Earth-616 , which is what they seemed to be doing in the previous movie anyway .

Of course , reboot Spider - Man ’s villains within the MCU would require Sony to give their cinematic rights back to Marvel , or at least grant wonder permit to use them freely . This possibility would have seemed highly unlikely earlier in 2024 , but afterMadame WebandKraven the Hunter ’s poor performance , it has become a fairish scenario for Sony .

In the comics , the case ofSecret Warspermanently institute Miles Morales from Earth-1610 to Earth-616 .

If Sony fully moves away from Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe and allow Marvel to utilize Spider - Man ’s ample gallery of villain and allies , Phase 7 could be the perfect fourth dimension to integrate them into the MCU . likewise to the beginning material , Avengers : Secret Warscould boot the whole Marvel multiverse , put in a revised timeline where type like the X - Men and the Fantastic Four always coexisted with the Avengers . too , the MCU ’s timeline reboot could incorporate Sony ’s characters into the MCU ’s past , establishing baddie like Venom , Kraven , Morbius , Rhino , Carnage , and Chameleon , as longtime Spider - Man enemies , and heroes like Madame Web and Spider - Woman as longtime MCU Hero .
