(If you need more time to wrap your head around the concept of the multiverse before walking into Spider-Man: No Way Home, I highly recommend checking out Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, an excellent movie and perfect primer for how multiverses work in comic book films. We learn that characters can travel across parallel universes, causing havoc along the way. But in the course of casting the spell, either Peter or Strange or both screw up the mechanics, and disrupts the multiverse. In the trailer, Spider-Man solicits the help of Doctor Strange to try to wipe the world’s memory of his secret identity. We know from the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home that the movie will be dealing heavily with the concept of the multiverses. Either way, it’s safe to assume that Venom has traveled to a parallel universe. In the end credits scene, we don’t know if Venom causes the room to change or, by a stroke of luck, something strange or mystical happens right when Eddie and Venom are discussing Venom’s infinite knowledge. Speaking of multiple villains joining forces to take on Spider-Man, let’s dig into the multiverse. Venom seems to have entered the MCU multiverse Sign up for More to the Story, TIME’s weekly entertainment newsletter, to get the context you need for the pop culture you love. That seems like a tough challenge for a movie we know is already stuffed with bad guys like Doctor Octopus, Electro and the Green Goblin. No Way Home would have to develop a motivation for Venom to attack Spider-Man beyond hunger. Pure jealousy does not seem like motivation enough. So why, exactly, would Venom so badly want to munch on fellow do-gooder Spider-Man? In fact, he relishes the opportunity to play the hero. The only heads he bites off belong to already tried-and-sentenced serial killers. Eddie has convinced him that he can survive on chickens and chocolate, rather than a buffet of human brains. Or Sony could simply be teasing the possibility that Spider-Man will finally start appearing in Sony’s various Spider villain movies like Venom and Morbius.Īnd what, exactly, will Venom and Spider-Man’s relationship be? Over the course of two films, Venom has evolved into an anti-hero, arguably even a good guy. Venom could show up in Spider-Man: No Way Home by hopping across the multiverse (more on that in a second). When, exactly, that meeting will be is unclear. The Venom: Let There Be Carnage end credits scene hints Venom will appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home Then a stranger comes out of the bathroom and asks Venom what he’s doing there. Venom, watching the clip, begins to salivate over Peter. The clip seems to be the same one that plays in the end credits scene for Spider-Man: Far From Home in which Jameson, using a doctored tape provided by the villain Mysterio, frames Peter for Mysterio’s murder and unveils his secret identity. A picture of Tom Holland’s Peter flashes on the screen. (Simmons has played the boisterous journalist with a vendetta against Spider-Man in both the Tobey Maguire Spidey films and the most recent Tom Holland Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Far From Home.) In the news clip, Jameson reveals Spider-Man’s true identity: Peter Parker. On the TV is a new report being read by none other than J.K. Eddie asks Venom what he’s done but Venom can’t answer-either he is not responsible for changing their surroundings or he doesn’t know how he did it. And then he outs Spider-Man as Peter Parker.At that moment, the room beings to transform and suddenly Eddie and Venom find themselves in a fancier version of the hotel room (with, notably, the same layout for the bed and television). Mysterio claims Spidey “says he’s going to be the new Iron Man,” implying Spidey murdered Mysterio out of jealousy because Mysterio was stepping up into that role. In this highly edited clip, Spider-Man appears to order Mysterio’s drones to kill people (the phrase “Execute them all,” out of context, now seemingly refers to victims rather than to shutdown orders). A video clip has surfaced from the last confrontation between Spidey and Mysterio, Far From Home’s seeming hero, who revealed himself as a villain with a secret agenda earlier in the film. But then both of them have their attention diverted by a news broadcast. The mid-credits scene returns to them just minutes later, completing their swing with MJ, now frizzy-haired and shaken, suggesting that they should never do that again. Spider-Man: Far From Home ends with Spidey, aka Peter Parker (Tom Holland), taking his lady-friend MJ (Zendaya) out for a pretty terrifying-looking web-swing around New York City.
