Spider-Man: No Way Home - Both Post-Credits Scenes Explained
What do those TWO No Way Home post-credits scenes mean for the future of the MCU?
The wait is finally over, and Spider-Man: No Way Home is now starting to hit cinemas across the globe.
Of course, before we get into the nitty gritty here, it's worth stating how there are clearly major spoilers for No Way Home from here on out. Then again, surely nobody is stupid enough to click on such an article and not have seen this latest Spidey offering, right? Here's hoping.
For those who stuck around until the very end of the No Way Home credits, you'll have seen two post-credits pieces; one focussing on Tom Hardy's Venom, and one serving as a trailer for next year's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And it's one those two intriguing offerings that the attention is on here.
Given how this list was penned on the day of Spider-Man: No Way Home's UK release, there obviously aren't that many relevant No Way Home stills available right now. As such, the images here are not from the two post-credits scenes in questions.
With all of that in mind, then, here's a total breakdown of what happened exactly happened in these post-credits sequences and what they mean for the future of the MCU and beyond going forward.
7. Eddie Brock Has Left The Building
As it stands, Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock merely had a cup of coffee in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, maybe more cocktails and beers than coffee, but the larger point still stands.
While Venom: Let There Be Carnage was a massively mixed bag of a movie, one element of that picture which received universal praise was its post-credits sequence. There, Eddie and Venom are taking a well-earned vacation when they are suddenly magically transported to the MCU just as J. Jonah Jameson reveals to the world that Peter Parker and Spider-Man are one and the same.
It would turn out that Brock was transported to the MCU in the same way as Norman Osborn, Otto Octavius et al were, and the first No Way Home post-credits sequence reintroduced us to a slightly sozzled Eddie who was getting up to speed on the concept of a world full of superheroes.
For those hoping that Tom Hardy's Venom would be sticking around to butt heads with Tom Holland's Web-head, those hopes were seemingly dashed as Eddie was sent back to his own universe at the same time as the rest of the alt-world characters.
Moving forward, it looks as if the Eddie Brock we know and love will be cracking skulls and chomping heads in his own world, away from the action of the MCU.
