Sony’s Spider-Man universe appears to be coming to an end sooner than expected, but that doesn’t mean its Marvel characters will have to go down with the ship. Since Sony owns the film rights to Spider-Man, Marvel Studios is legally prohibited from using Spider-Man, his allies or foes in any live-action movies or shows without an agreement with Sony. In turn, Sony was able to own an entire franchise centered around the Spider-Man character. However, due to the success of Marvel and Sony’s MCU deal, Sony’s Spider-Verse has largely focused on Spider-Man’s villains, with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker fighting alongside the Avengers.

The fate of the characters in Sony’s Spider-Man universe is unclear, but there are ways the Marvel Cinematic Universe could save them.
MCU Could Save SSU’s Characters Before Multiverse Saga Ends
‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ gives Marvel characters in Sony’s Spider-Man universe a chance to move on
Sony’s Spider-Man universe has reached its peak of crisis, and at the same time, the final phase of the Marvel Universe’s multiverse saga is gathering pace.

Given that stage 6 Avengers Characters from Fox’s X-Men, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, as well as other non-MCU Marvel characters, may appear in the film, with characters from Sony’s Spider-Man universe also having the chance to return and team up with MCU heroes. cross. Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Avengers: Secret Wars
Characters like Venom, Morbius and Kraven can be brought to Earth-616
Sony’s Spider-Verse has already mentioned the existence of the Marvel Multiverse. exist MobiusIn the post-credits scene, Michael Morbius, played by Jared Leto, meets Adrian Toomes, aka “The Vulture”, played by Michael Keaton. Since Spider-Man and Doctor Strange are at the end of the film, spell, he was somehow teleported from the MCU’s Earth-616 to Sony’s Spider-Man universe. Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spider-Man: No Way Home Eddie Brock, played by Tom Hardy, also briefly stayed on Earth-616. Similarly, Avengers: Secret Wars Characters like Venom, Morbius, and Kraven could be brought to Earth-616, either permanently or for All-Star Wars in the MCU’s version of Battleworld.

A rift in the sky slowly opens, revealing hundreds of Spider-Man-related characters, including Kraven the Hunter, Rhino, Scorpion, Mysterio, and what appears to be Superior Spider-Man or a doppelgänger. since spider man 4 There could also be a multiverse plot, where a similar invasion could bring all the characters from Sony’s Spider-Man universe into the Marvel Universe.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Story Revealed Makes My Movie Dream Theory Look More Likely
The story of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 has finally been revealed, and the situation Peter Parker faces in the Marvel movie makes a big theory more likely.
Cameos from Kraven and Rhino Spider-Man: No Way HomeThe Invasion of Rift seems oddly prescient as two Spider-Man villains in Kraven the hunter. Another shadow in the invasion rift appears to be Mrs. Weber, whose SSU film is also Spider-Man: No Way Home. spider man 4Potential multiplex plot could utilize cameos from these characters Spider-Man: No Way Home And features an all-out invasion that takes them to Earth-616, which is exactly what they did in the last movie anyway. At this point, this event would justify Vulture’s return to the original timeline.
Marvel and Sony’s MCU Spider-Man movies could soft reboot SSU character
Phase 7 could bring back all of Spider-Man’s friends and foes in series reboot
If the MCU’s multiverse saga doesn’t integrate or even acknowledge Marvel characters from Sony’s Spider-Man universe, the next saga in the MCU could introduce new versions of the same characters. Of course, rebooting Spider-Man’s villains in the MCU would require Sony to return its film rights to Marvel, or at least allow Marvel to freely use them. This possibility seemed unlikely in early 2024, but then mrs webb and Kraven the hunterPoor performance has become a reasonable scenario for Sony. After all, releasing more SSU movies might just bring diminishing returns for Sony.

Similar to the source material, Avengers: Secret Wars It’s possible that the entire Marvel Multiverse could be rebooted, introducing a modified timeline in which characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four have always coexisted with the Avengers. Likewise, a timeline reboot of the Marvel Universe could incorporate Sony’s characters into the Marvel Universe’s past, with villains like Venom, Kraven, Morbius, Rhino, Carnage, and Chameleon as Spider-Man’s long-term foes, Featuring heroes like Spider-Man and Spider-Man as long-term enemies of the Marvel Universe. hero.
Why Sony’s Spider-Man character deserves a second chance in the Marvel Universe
Sony’s Spider-Man Universe fails not because of its characters
Jared Leto’s Morbius, Dakota Johnson’s Madam Webb, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter, and their respective enemies don’t have the same character as most Marvel Universe characters. That was welcomed. For example, Morbius The rather disastrous release and re-release accidentally turned him into a more famous joke character “It’s Mobin’s time” Meme than his SSU story and mrs webb‘s trailer inspired a number of memes based on Cassandra Webb’s awkward dialogue delivery. However, the original comic book characters have provided enough fodder for serious, successful movie appearances, if not in their own solo movies, then at least as minor characters in several Marvel Cinematic Universe entries.
RELATED Spider-Man 4 Could Fix Sony’s 2-Year-Old Mistake with 1 MCU Villain Teased
After the recent massive update to the superhero franchise, Marvel Studios has the perfect opportunity to address the huge missteps of Spider-Man’s main villain.
Tom Hardy, Jared Leto, Woody Harrelson, Dakota Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and many other actors in Sony’s Spider-Man universe are outside of the dozens of films in the superhero genre showed impressive acting skills in the films, so the failure of the series cannot be blamed on them. was placed upon them. The character from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is also one of the most famous Marvel villains in comics, even ranking higher than more recent Marvel Universe villains in terms of popularity. If the MCU is able to turn lesser-known villains like Iron Monger, Advanced Evolutionary, Killmonger, and Remnant into fan-favorite villains, it won’t be the fault of the SSU characters.
Sony is no longer launching a “Spider-Man” spin-off, which means Tom Holland’s Spider-Man may finally face a real Sinister Six in the Marvel Universe.
The Marvel Universe has changed the public perception of certain characters in the multiverse saga, often taking on small roles one at a time. For example, Anson Mount’s Black Bolt didn’t escape Inhumans” was criticized back in 2017, but he’s back Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness He had a brief but visually stunning role in killing Earth-838’s Doctor Strange and being murdered by the Scarlet Witch. Jamie Foxx’s Electro also plays a very antagonistic role in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home Than he is The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With a good script, the MCU could do the same for characters in Sony’s Spider-Verse.
