Marvel: 11 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Oct 3rd)

3. Spider-Man Gets The Symbiote Suit

The Rumour:

Thanks to a Reddit sleuth, there's a new interpretation of the Infinity War footage that was shown at Comic Con and D23, which explains Peter Parker's recovery from the supposedly grave injuries he suffers shown in that footage:

"Tony and rest of the Avengers have to keep fighting so they either leave him there or move him elsewhere. Since they're on some alien planet while he's recovering the symbiote is there and manages to find its way onto him which helps heal him faster and makes him stronger. Using his new suit the Avengers are able to get an upper hand on Thanos. Then maybe he keeps it until either the end of Infinity War or until his next solo movie so that the Venom standalone movie can happen afterwards."

The post also highlights some "evidence" that Parker has a secret in footage we've already seen:

"In one of the Infinity War set videos we see Tom Holland wearing a zipped up jacket that's pretty obviously hiding whatever he's wearing underneath. And at the end of Homecoming we see the Iron Spider suit and the neck area is the same color as the Homecoming suit so there's no reason for Tom's jacket to be zipped up all the way unless the color of the suit itself would be a massive spoiler."

Could it possibly be?

Rating: 2/10

The possibilities for Sony and Marvel to cross-over to seed a Venom movie aren't completely out of the realms of logic, but it just feels like a needless way of surrendering a reveal by Sony. They don't need it, and Marvel are still keen to push Spider-Man as a school kid as much as possible.

Rushing into a Venom story might be too soon for that to really work.
