Since the announcement of the official title for the sequel to 2018’sVenom,Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the amount of inventive fan art involving the gooey anti-hero has skyrocketed. And, withVenomstar Tom Hardy constantly teasing the involvement ofSpider-Manin these proceedings, a theme has started to emerge with said fan art. This newest piece shows Spidey clawing his way out of theVenomsymbiote, having presumably been tempted by the power that comes with merging with the icky extraterristrial.
When Sony first announced that they would be bringingVenomto the big screen, fans began speculating as to howSpider-Mancould be included, considering the character’s ties with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the beginning, Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal denied the rumors that the MCU and Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters would ever crossover, but things have changed quite a bit in the past year.
Last October,Venomdirector Ruben Fleischer confirmed thatTom Holland’s Spider-Man will meet Tom Hardy’s Venomat some point, and though it is not yet known when this will take place, Hardy insists on tormenting fans by posting pictures of the two characters coming to blows before quickly deleting them, leading many to speculate that Spider-Man, or perhaps even just alter ego Peter Parker, will have some involvement in theVenomsequel.
Having seen several pieces of art showcasingVenom literally devouring Spider-Manin some way, this new piece from Bosslogic shows Spider-Man trying to claw his way out of the symbiote’s clutches. We have seen Parker attempt to deny the symbiote’s influence before on the big screen in 2007’sSpider-Man 3, which lead to him having to tear the powerful black goo away piece by piece, much like in this artwork.
The second image showsSpider-Managaintrying to tear away the symbiote, only this time he has activated his Instant Kill Mode eyes, no doubt as a way to threatenVenomshould he not be released.
Much like a lot of the fan art, the images are a lot more intense and gruesome than anything we have seen so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and should such a scene take place, do not expect it to be quite as horrifying.
Fans are dying to see Spidey go up against Venom, and while it is looking more and more likely. Sony is clearly looking to bring their Spider-Man characters together with the upcomingMorbiusincluding Michael Keaton’sSpider-Man: Homecomingvillain Vulture. Despite this, it is pretty unlikely thatSpider-Manwill be involved too heavily inVenom: Let There Be Carnage(as no doubt Tom Holland would have spoiled it by now if he were). Of course, this does not rule out a post-credits cameo or some such, which would no doubt lead to an eruption in thunderous applause from cinema audiences everywhere.
Venom: Let There Be Carnageis scheduled to be released in the United States on July 21, 2025, delayed from an initial October 2020 release date due to the ongoing global situation. Meanwhile,Spider-Man 3was originally going to hit theaters in July 2021, but it will now open on November 5th, 2021. This comes to us fromBosslogic’s official instagram.
