Summary
The introduction of a Venom Symbiote costume for Spider-Woman in the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse installment could bring a thrilling new dimension to her character.
The idea of a Venomized Gwen Stacy is captivating, especially given her significant role in the Spider-Verse franchise and the potential for an intriguing dark path storyline.
Introducing the Venom Symbiote into the animated franchise would add a strong emotional element, especially if they bring in another character like Peter Parker donning the black costume. Incorporating the mythology of the Symbiote would be a thrilling addition to the upcoming Spider-Verse film.
Marvel's Gwen Stacy, also known as Spider-Woman, is showcased in captivating fan art for the Spider-Verse franchise. The conclusion of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse left viewers on the edge of their seats, with Miles Morales stranded on Earth-42 and Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 in hot pursuit. This thrilling Marvel adventure culminated with Spider-Woman rallying a group of old allies to rescue their fellow Spider-Man counterpart, marking a significant development for Gwen's character in the franchise.
Although Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse does not have a confirmed release date, it will serve as the trilogy's grand finale, bringing closure to the original story crafted by the creative team. As fans eagerly speculate about the conclusion of the trilogy, artist Arkin Tyagi recently unveiled stunning artwork envisioning Spider-Woman's appearance if Gwen were to encounter the infamous Symbiote.
Spider-Woman, like other characters from the Spider-Verse, has recently been transformed into a Venomized version by the renowned artist Tyagi. This talented artist has also created Symbiote designs for Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man India, and Spider-Punk. It remains uncertain whether Tyagi will continue to create Symbiote fan art for other heroes from the Spider-Verse.
Why Venomized Gwen Could Happen In Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse
While alternative versions of Peter and Miles have appeared in the Spider-Verse movies, Gwen variants have been notably absent despite her significant role in the franchise. However, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse may finally introduce a Gwen variant, potentially one that has formed a symbiotic bond with the Venom Symbiote. In a June 2023 interview, Phil Lord and Chris Miller revealed their intention to incorporate Gwen variants into the story, carefully avoiding any spoilers.
Considering the events of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where Gwen and her Spider-team embark on a mission to rescue Miles, it wouldn't be surprising if they were to encounter an alternate version of Gwen from Earth-42, who has also taken a dark path. This presents a perfect opportunity to introduce Venomized Spider-Woman in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse and finally bring the Symbiote into the animated franchise. By having a character whom the audience is already invested in fused with the Symbiote, it would create a deeper emotional connection. Additionally, including another Peter with the black costume, whom they haven't had much time to explore in the previous two films, would further enhance the narrative.
With the exceptional animation that characterizes the Spider-Verse movies, it would be truly amazing to witness how they tackle the incorporation of the Symbiote in this franchise. Considering the high level of secrecy surrounding Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, it is possible that one or two Symbiotes are being integrated into the final storyline. It is hoped that Sony will explore the Venom Symbiote mythology in some capacity as they continue to work on the concluding Spider-Verse film.
