Tom Holland is set to return for more in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a new Avengers: Doomsday theory suggests that Venom and Knull could be involved in Spider-Man 4. The upcoming film, Spider-Man 4, is expected to be a multiverse story, with a possible connection to Avengers: Doomsday, which will feature Doctor Doom as the main villain.
The theory suggests that Doctor Doom could manipulate a grief-stricken Peter Parker, leading to his death, but the piece of the Venom symbiote left in the MCU could revive him. This would set up a major multiverse story for Spider-Man 4.
Venom: The Last Dance, the final movie in the Venom franchise, has set up Knull’s escape from prison and his ambitious plans to destroy the universe. The character is the creator of the symbiotes and has already been mentioned as a major threat in the comics. The movie’s mid-credits scene showed Knull vowing to be free and promising destruction to the universe.
The MCU theory suggests that both Knull and Eddie Brock, the host of the Venom symbiote, could be drawn to the MCU’s Spider-Man 4, where they would have different purposes. Knull could be after the Codex, a special key that can free him, while Eddie could connect with the piece of the symbiote in the MCU, leading to Venom’s return.
The theory is strengthened by comments from Tom Hardy, the actor who plays Venom, who has expressed his interest in fighting Spider-Man in a movie. The Sony Japan press release for Spider-Man 4 also hinted at the possibility of the two characters meeting in the film.
The article concludes that Spider-Man 4 could be a multiverse story, potentially rivaling the scope of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The film would fit perfectly between the next two Avengers movies and would allow for the reunion of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with other heroes, as well as the introduction of Knull and the return of Venom.
