Summary
Spider-Man: No Way Home concept art reveals Tom Holland Spider-Man's Black Suit.
The film hints at a potential interaction between Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Tom Hardy's Venom, with a fragment of the Venom Symbiote remaining in the MCU. The upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home suggests the introduction of the Symbiote Suit, which may align with the Avengers: Secret Wars event and include Hardy's Venom.
Newly released concept art for Spider-Man: No Way Home showcases Tom Holland in the iconic Black Suit, hinting at a thrilling Venom crossover. The highly anticipated 2021 film brought together three generations of live-action Spider-Men, including Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Holland. While the movie delivered many exciting surprises, some remained in the planning phase. Revealed through the book Spider-Man: No Way Home - The Art of the Movie, this artwork provides fans with a glimpse of how the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man could have appeared in the legendary Symbiote Suit.
How Spider-Man: No Way Home Set Up Venom In The MCU
Three different concept art pieces showcase Holland's Spider-Man wearing various versions of the Black Suit. In each image, the protagonist is depicted sporting a black rendition of his iconic MCU suit, with slight variations found in the color of the spider emblem on his chest. These variations include a tan, red, and white spider emblem.Spider-Man: No Way Home did not witness Peter Parker (played by Holland) donning the iconic Symbiote Suit of Spider-Man. However, the film did establish the groundwork for this eventuality. Initially, Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock made his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during the post-credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Subsequently, this character was sent back to his own world in the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Nevertheless, a remnant of the Venom Symbiote managed to remain in the MCU.
Holland's Spider-Man and Hardy's Venom did not have the opportunity to cross paths during the anti-hero's brief time in the MCU. However, there are plans for them to interact in a future movie, whether it be in the MCU or Sony's Spider-Man Universe. In this upcoming storyline, Holland's Peter Parker becomes connected to a piece of the Symbiote that was left behind in the MCU, which catches the attention of Hardy's Venom. It has been revealed that all Symbiotes share a collective consciousness, so when Holland's Spider-Man forms a bond with the Venom fragment, Hardy's character becomes aware of it, leading to their long-awaited meeting. Although Spider-Man: No Way Home hinted at the Symbiote Suit, it is expected to be introduced into the MCU eventually. In the comics, Spider-Man initially encounters the suit during the events that inspired the 2027 film Avengers: Secret Wars. Therefore, it is possible that the suit could debut in that movie, while Hardy makes an appearance as Venom through the use of the multiverse, satisfying the tease from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
