9 Major Marvel Movie Events That Could Follow Avengers: Infinity War

We're getting into messy territory now because bringing this story into the MCU could result in the mother of all disputes between Marvel and Sony, but bear with us.

Marvel's recent Spider-Man rights deal with Sony could be he beginning of something big, and there are hints that cross-pollination between their projects is possible.

What if Sony's Tom Hardy-fronted Venom solo movie is granted tenuous connections to the MCU for the purpose of sharing characters in the future?

This could pave the way for the fan-favourite, extra-dark Maximum Carnage storyline to play out in a future Spider-Man sequel.

It's the perfect event for Tom Holland's web-slinger to tackle once he's gotten a couple more adventures under his belt. The psychopathic Cletus Kasady would raise the stakes for the fledgling hero, that's for sure.

The original story sees Spidey turn to a bunch of allies - a group which includes Captain America - for support when faced with one of his greatest threats.

For the purposes of expanding Maximum Carnage into a large-scale MCU crossover movie, there's no reason why its supporting cast couldn't be beefed up to include other Avengers and various other heroes we've already seen on screen.
