What will happen in the new movie?
Peter is still doing his Spidey business in the world though, so it’s not like he’s retired.
What it means is that a potential fourth movie can do whatever it likes, whether that’s having Peter train up a new Spider-Man, a standalone adventure where he faces a new villain or something else entirely.
“At the end of the movie we just made, you see Spider-Man make a momentous decision, one that you’ve never seen him make before. It’s a sacrifice. And that gives us a lot to work with for the next film,” Pascal teased to The New York Times.
One potential option is to deliver a long-awaited battle between Spider-Man and Venom on the big screen. As we saw in the Venom 2 credits scene, Eddie Brock and Venom are transported to the MCU.
It’s because of the botched spell that Doctor Strange casts, but he rectifies it at the end which means Eddie and Venom are taken back to their universe. A piece of the Venom symbiote is left behind though, so it could take over somebody in the MCU.
We’d be surprised if the MCU set up its own Venom though as Tom Hardy is so popular with fans. So we imagine if the face-off is going to happen, they’ll manufacture a way for either Spidey to cross into Venom’s universe or vice-versa.
