Venom 2: Andy Serkis says characters in the film are unaware of Spider-Man

The trailer for VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE dropped yesterday and followers have taken to social media to speak about all the Easter eggs they’ve observed. Followers have appeared to have noticed moments that seem to acknowledge the MCU and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man motion pictures however director Andy Serkis says the sequel exists in its personal universe the place the characters aren’t conscious of Spider-Man.

Within the new trailer, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) will be seen studying the Every day Bugle, the newspaper that Peter Parker/Spider-Man works for as a photographer. The emblem is much like the look that the paper had in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man motion pictures and this has led to a number of the speculations that the universes are related. Throughout a chat with “IGN“, Serkis did acknowledge that a number of the Easter eggs are supposed to pay homage to Marvel and the Spider-Man motion pictures in small methods however Venom: Let There Be Carnage is ready in its personal universe the place the characters don’t have any actual consciousness of Spider-Man.

“Clearly, there are hyperlinks between Venom and Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe and the Spider-Man story. We’re treating this very a lot because it’s his personal world. The Venom story is his personal world. There are nods and little moments [like the shot of the newspaper the Daily Bugle], after all, however on the entire he is unaware. They’re unaware, at this level, of different characters like Spider-Man. So, that is the best way we have chosen to play this explicit episode of the film, however, nicely, we’ll wait and see. We’ll see what little issues you possibly can select of it.”

It is price noting that Serkis said that Eddie Brock and the opposite characters within the movie are “unaware” of Spider-Man’s existence. This implies that they are both all dwelling underneath a rock or the web-slinger hasn’t hit the scene within the universe that Venom exists in. This brings up the entire notion of alternate cinematic universes and that may typically both make followers excited or irritated so I’ll depart that hypothesis to the diehards on the market. Additionally, if what Serkis says is true, this would possibly put the nail within the coffin of the concept the Venom franchise may lead into the MCU. At this level, that does not appear to be the plan except they’re hiding a really large secret.  

Issues get a bit extra difficult whenever you issue within the different Sony Photos/Marvel hybrid Morbius, starring Jared Leto. In that movie’s trailer, it was revealed that Michael Keaton had a job within the movie which hints that he was reprising his position as Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming. That movie is related to the MCU by way of Tom Holland so if Keaton’s Vulture is in Morbius, whilst a cameo, does that imply Morbius exists within the MCU however not Venom? Ultimately, I’ll want some form of flowchart to maintain up. 

What are YOUR ideas on how Venom: Let There Carnage, if in any respect, is related to the MCU or the older Spider-Man motion pictures? Does it merely exist in its personal universe or are they pulling or chains right here? Venom: Let There Be Carnage hits screens on September 24, 2021.
