A future iteration of Spider-Man and Venom was teased in the end credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home. In which, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock a.k.a Venom is being tutored by the Avengers on Earth-616 before he teleports back to the Sony Spider-Man Universe. Although that isn’t without leaving behind a piece of the Venom symbiote.
Fans have noticed that Tom Hardy‘s costume for the post-credits scene is the same as the one he’s wearing in the recently released behind-the-scenes picture. Some of them now believe that Venom would have some connection with the MCU through the multiverse.
Here’s how some fans have reacted to the image:
that’s the same outfit from NWH maybe they’ll start off with a follow up right after he teleports back?

Ever since the gates to the multiverse have been opened, the MCU has become a world of crazy possibilities, even more than it was. Venom’s connection to the MCU is an extension of that. And it will be interesting to see how things unravel.
Venom 3: What Do We Know So Far?
Venom has managed to have a trilogy of his own without his #1 enemy Spider-Man. He lives in a dark corner of the world, far away from the shiny suited-up web-slinger. Tom Hardy is reprising his role as Eddie Brock, who’s been infected by the extra-terrestrial symbiote.
Stephen Graham could return as Detective Patrick Mulligan, and Michelle Williams is also expected to return, too: as there’s more of her to see as She-Venom. Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor have also joined the cast but their roles are unknown.
All that is known of the plot of the film is mostly fan-made theories. Venom existed in a different dimension, however momentarily. This ought to trigger some events in the film. It would be odd if the teleportation viewers saw in No Way Home wasn’t brought up or even acknowledged in the film.
Fans excitedly await the trailer, which based on the past two Venom films, should be released around June i.e. five months before the film is set to release.
Venom 3 is set to hit theatres on November 8, 2024.
