The arrival of Venom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have unexpected effects on multiple storylines. Tom Hardy only had a few minutes of screen time in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s post-credits scene, but the recent Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers imply that his presence might have an unforeseen influence on the MCU as a whole. Fans are now certain that Eddie Brock will come back thanks to the Venom 3 link in the next Thor film. Here are the specifics:

Marvel Studios frequently alters the origins of lesser-known superheroes to fit their projects. However, we already know that Gorr will be the main antagonist in Thor: Love and Thunder, making this next MCU episode intimately tied to Venom. Gorr was a peaceful alien who dwelt in his world and had a strong trust in the gods of the universe. However, following the death of his family, he lost all faith. Eventually, he learned that there were entities in the Universe who were called Gods and vowed to kill them all. But, in order to accomplish such a task, he required a strong weapon, which he received in the form of the All-Black, the Necrosword.

After experiencing a fight between its former owner, the primal God Knull, and the last remnants of an empire of golden-armored gods murdered by the nether god, the blade was forged from a dark mass.  Gorr now possesses a variety of superpowers, including incredible physical ability, regeneration, and near-immortality, because of his use of this All-Black. However, the most essential aspect of this story is the history of the sword, which is linked to Venom.

Knull is the Klyntar’s direct ancestor. They are a species of shape-shifting, nebulous parasites that can meld with different living creatures to possess or control their victims in whatever way they like. They’re generally called symbiotes, and Venom is among the most well-known of them in Marvel fiction. The first symbiote, All-Black, was created from Knull’s own shadow, which was formed by the first light of creation and then toned with the strength of a dead celestial. Now, what if the symbiote goop that Venom left behind at the conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home made its way to Gorr, granting him the abilities he seeks to defeat Thor?

If this situation actually takes place, Love and Thunder may take a surprising approach to introduce symbiotes to the MCU. We can only presume that wherever symbiotes are found, Eddie Brock’s Venom will be closely following.

Thor: Love and Thunder will premiere on May 6, 2022.
