There are some comic book storylines that are inevitable regardless of how tired you are of them. You'd better believe that when the X-Men show up, we're doing Dark Phoenix again. Likewise, get ready for more fun with the black suit and the symbiote with Holland's Spider-Man.

Originally introduced during the Secret Wars event, the black suit has since become a staple of Spider-Man lore, introducing the sci-fi element of other planets and species into the Spidey canon.

You might be wondering how they're going to go about this, since Sony likes to keep a grip on as much of the Spidey canon as they can, and with the one-two punch of Into The Spider-Verse and Venom, they probably won't be willing to share the Symbiote with Marvel. However, like with the Fantastic Four, if Disney and Marvel really want something, they'll get it. And black suit Spider-Man is far too lucrative to let pass them by without a fight.

It wouldn't even be that hard to justify, since Holland's Spidey has already been off into space once before. Black suit Spider-Man is an inevitability, but hopefully this upcoming incarnation will be as good as the comic book original.
