Venom 2: 8 Things The Sequel Must Include

Though our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is unlikely to be popping into the Venom sequel anytime soon, that doesn’t mean the series needs to pretend he outright doesn’t exist – after all, it’s not like the two franchises had a bad breakup or something.

Indeed, getting some kind of rough idea into how exactly Venom fits into the Spider-Man universe would make the film far more enjoyable. It’s no great tragedy if the series isn’t intended to fit into the extended Marvel universe – in fact, it’d arguably be more interesting to build a separate universe, given the film has a different tone to the likes of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

With the initial film appearing to be tailored to fit either the MCU or its own private universe depending on how negotiations between Sony and Marvel go in the future, the question of where Venom fits is still very much bein decided. With these talks hopefully having been carried out by the point of the next film, a heads up on what direction the franchise is going in is absolutely crucial.
