Explosive Venom Encounter: Spider-Man 2099 Falls Prey to Sinister R-Rated Spider-Verse Crossover Art

Summary

Few details are yet known about the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.

Spider-Man 2099, or Miguel O'Hara, played a crucial part in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and will once again have a prominent role in the upcoming sequel.

On TikTok, fan art envisions Spider-Man 2099 being influenced by the Venom symbiote, amplifying his already frightening persona to an entirely new extent. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse should examine the notion of Venom variations to deepen the connection between the movies and fully utilize the concept of the Symbiote.

Spider-Man 2099 takes center stage in new fan art depicting a What If...? scenario where he becomes infected by Venom. The return of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse franchise in 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has sparked anticipation for the upcoming installment, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, Sony has temporarily removed the sequel from the release schedule. In the previous movie, Miguel O'Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099, emerged as a prominent character and rival to Miles, reflecting their differing multiverse beliefs. While the details of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse remain secret, Miguel is poised to play a significant role once again. In the meantime, fans of the Spider-Verse are finding entertainment in new fan art featuring Spider-Man 2099.

Spider-Verse 3 Needs More Venom Variants

The Spider-Verse franchise has featured numerous villains from the Spider-Man universe, although some have received more attention than others. Interestingly, the concept of the Symbiote has not yet been explored in any of the alternate universes showcased in both Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. While there was a brief glimpse of Earth-688, where Mrs. Chen made a quick appearance, the Symbiote has not yet made an appearance in the Spider-Verse films. This is precisely why Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse should delve into the notion of Venom variants, even if their role in the story is limited.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage introduced the idea of Symbiotes having knowledge of other universes. This concept could be further explored in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. As the Spider-Verse films are connected to Sony's Spider-Man Universe, it would make sense to include at least one variant of Venom in the third and final film. This would help emphasize the connection between these films. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is expected to release after Venom 3 in 2024. As the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes continue, the creative team's plans for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse remain unknown. However, fans are hopeful that the wait will be worthwhile as the conclusion to Miles' Spider-Verse trilogy unfolds. In the meantime, fans can enjoy Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse digitally from August 8 or on home media starting on September 5.
