After a decade of building its own Spider-Man Universe, recent developments suggest that Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) could be coming to an end. With mixed success and a blend of both cult hits like *Venom* and less successful ventures like *Morbius*, Sony seems poised to make a significant pivot that might reshape the entire Marvel movie landscape.

At the center of this shift is the question: *Will Venom join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)?* Given the success of Spider-Man’s crossover in *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, fans have been eagerly waiting for Sony and Marvel to bring their universes closer together. Venom, a fan-favorite antihero portrayed by Tom Hardy, has been the star of Sony’s standalone universe, yet teasingly brushed shoulders with the MCU. In fact, *Venom: Let There Be Carnage* gave a subtle nod to the MCU, hinting at Eddie Brock’s potential future in Marvel’s core storyline.

While no official announcements have been made, industry insiders suggest that negotiations are ongoing between Sony and Marvel to transition Venom into the MCU. If successful, it could mean the start of a whole new narrative arc, blending Venom into storylines with iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and even the Avengers. This crossover would allow Marvel to explore darker, grittier themes within the MCU, adding Venom’s chaotic energy into its well-loved hero lineup.

As Marvel continues to expand its Multiverse Saga, the potential for Venom joining the MCU is more likely than ever. Fans are eager to see how Marvel might integrate Venom’s intense storylines and unpredictable nature into the larger Marvel world. The fusion of Sony’s characters with Marvel’s would create endless possibilities, and if Venom does join the MCU, it could mark the beginning of a thrilling new era for both franchises.
