Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 - 10 Things Fans Demand

7. A Nod Towards Venom

Venom might be enduring a particularly temperamental pre-release existence, but there's no denying the character's relevance to Spider-Man's lore. Eddie Brock, and by extension the symbiote too, are both integral aspects of the Spidey mythos, and while doubts over the film's connection to the MCU linger (no one knows where it's set - let's be honest), if the door's open for it to connect to the MCU, then the slathering monster should be allowed in.

There are reasons to be optimistic about the Cronenberg-inspired effort, which will release in October this year, and though Spider-Man 3 didn't exactly do the character justice, the only thing Marvel need avoid this time is a repeat of Peter Parker's atrocious dance moves.

The likely scenario, at this stage at least, is that Marvel are waiting on the Venom's reception before a decision is made on its links to their guarded cinematic universe. As long as the potential is there for a crossover, however, it should at least be contemplated - particular when it's a character who possesses as much fan appeal as Eddie Brock.
