The MCU has already seen some crossover with this universe, though, thanks to the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. While Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and multiple villains from their respective Spider-Man films were the centerpieces, Hardy's Venom managed to briefly find himself in the MCU as a result of Doctor Strange's spell going awry.

It does, however, also raise questions about Spider-Man's own future in the MCU beyond the Holland's current contract.

The actor is reportedly set to star in three new Spider-Man films and three additional appearances, the later of which fans speculate include Avengers: Secret Wars. Merging the Sony and Marvel universes ahead of Secret Wars, which Kevin Feige has teased will help reset the MCU a bit, could mean audiences are seeing the last of Spider-Man in the MCU before he goes back to Sony completely.
