Tom Holland to Make a Cameo in Sony’s Venom



One of the highly anticipated superhero movies of 2018, Venom might include a brief cameo from the Spider-Man of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Tom Holland. After the failure of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” movie that stared Andrew Garfield, Sony decided to take a bold move by launching a shared universe with characters connected to Peter Parker/ Spider-Man.

As a result, Sony signed a deal with Marvel, which allowed the entry of Tom Holland as Spider-Man to the MCU with Captain America: Civil War. A year later, Marvel released a solo Spider-Man with Tom Holland playing the web slinger. As expected, the film was widely accepted by both critics and viewers and some even claimed that it was the best Spider-Man movie ever

In the meantime, Sony decided to take a bold movie and they planned their own superhero universe with the characters that were related to Man. They quickly announced a Venom movie and then tapped in Ruben Fleischer as the director and Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom. Still, it was unclear if Tom Holland’s Spidey would make an appearance in the movie or not

The head of MCU, Kevin Feige had stated that the two films are not related to one another and they both exist in their own universes. However, the producer of Sony, Amy Pascal caused confusion among fans by stating that Sony’s Venom movie will be “adjunct” to the MCU. Yet, it remained unclear whether both of these iconic Marvel characters would share the screen in Venom or not.


However, rumors surfacing around the internet claim that the head of development for Collider Video Kristian Harloff and Collider Video host Jon Schnepp stated that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be making an appearance in Sony’s Venom. The episode of Collider Movie Talk where this happens has not yet been released

If the MCU’s Spider-Man makes a cameo in Venom, then it will establish a major connection between the upcoming Marvel Avengers movies and the offshoot superhero universe. This might also mean that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will also survive Avengers Infinity war. Arden fans of Marvel comic books will be excited and they would be more than happy to welcome this connection

If this happens, then Marvel and Sony could work together and lay ground for Holland’s Spider-Man and Hardy’s Venom to battle each other or team up against a greater threat. In addition, it will also mean that Marvel will be able to use more Spiderman characters such as Black Cat and Silver Sable.
