Summary
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduces an epic fan art that unveils the spectacular Venomized suit specially created for Spider-Punk. This remarkable artwork beautifully bridges the gap between the Spider-Verse films and Sony's Spider-Man Universe.The appearance of Venom in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse suggests a potential crossover between the Venom movies and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, paving the way for live-action characters to be part of the Spider-Verse journey.
With the release of Venom 3 preceding Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, there is a chance to smoothly incorporate Eddie Brock/Venom into the upcoming film, particularly considering his understanding of the multiverse. Nevertheless, the development of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has experienced setbacks.
Spider-Punk, a character from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, has been given a new Venom Symbiote costume in a fan art. The film, which was released in 2023, featured Miles Morales and various other versions of Spider-Man. Spider-Punk, voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, made his cinematic debut in the movie, representing Earth-138.
Graphic designer and artist Arkin Tyagi has been recreating the Spider-Man variants from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with their own Venomized suits. In his latest artwork, Spider-Punk, also known as Hobie Brown, becomes the focus of a "What If...?" scenario where he embraces the Symbiote.
Will The Venom Movies Cross Over With The Spider-Verse Series?
The artwork is based on the fact that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has officially established its connection to Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Although Venom did not make an appearance, Spot did visit Mrs. Chen from the Tom Hardy movies, highlighting the interconnectedness of the live-action properties with the Spider-Verse films.Although brief, the incorporation of the Venom movies in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse could be hinting at a larger connection in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. With limited information available, it is speculated that the third installment may feature more appearances from live-action characters, hence the "Beyond" in the movie's title. This presents a perfect opportunity for Venom, among all of Sony's Spider-Man Universe characters, to finally join the Spider-Verse adventure.
Venom 3 is set to release before Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse and continues right after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. At this point, it is believed that Venom 3 will conclude Eddie Brock's trilogy and seamlessly lead into Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse when it eventually makes its way onto Sony's schedule. Considering Eddie's knowledge of the multiverse and his experiences with the Symbiote, it would be the perfect timing for him to be involved in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
However, Sony still needs to make progress on Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse as its production has been delayed and it is currently in the early stages. Once the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes come to an end, Sony will likely prioritize getting the production of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse back on track. In the meantime, fans can enjoy rewatching Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which is currently available for streaming and on Blu-Ray/DVD.
