During Marvel Comics’ 1984 Secret Wars event, Spider-Man gained his black symbiote outfit for the first time; therefore, the MCU’s version of Secret Wars would be a wonderful occasion to show off this alien enhancement. A fight between the fabled foes might wait until Spider-Man 5 or later if Holland’s Peter Parker makes good use of the Venom costume in Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Secret Wars. This fight may even result in Holland leaving the role to make way for a new Spider-Man, as he is returning for a new trilogy of Spider-Man films.

Venom: The Last Dance’s trailer has caused confusion about Venom’s existence in the MCU, as Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character appears to be capturing the piece of the symbiote left after No Way Home. However, this could ultimately turn out to be a ruse, perhaps taking place in the SSU itself, meaning this piece of Venom still remains intact. If Eddie Brock or Venom lose their lives in Venom: The Last Dance, as is suspected, Venom could make the move to the MCU using this symbiote remnant, setting him up to face Spider-Man very soon.
