Venom 2 director Andy Serkis has confirmed that the Sony sequel is in its own universe – meaning it's no🌱t part of the MCU.

"Obviously, there are links betwe🎃en Venom and Spider-Man and꧒ the Marvel Universe and the Spider-Man story," Serkis told . "But in this, we're treating this very much as it's his own world. The Venom story is his own world."

In the movie's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently released first trailer, a quick shot of a Daily Bugle newspaper seemed to suggest𒅌 a connection to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies. There's been plenty of speculation lately that the MCU's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 3, officially titled Spider-Man: No Way Home, will bring a live-action Spider-verse into play: an unconfirmed reporꦍt🌃 claims Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will be back as their respective versions of the web-slinging hero, 澳𓃲洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alfred Molina confir🔯med he's returning as Doc Ock, and Jamie Foxx is reportedly repཧrising𝐆 his role of Electro. Another Sony superhero movie, Morbius, also has an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:apparent link to the MCU.

"There are nods and little moments꧒, just like this newspaper, the Daily Bugle of course, but on the whole he's unaware," Serkis continued. "They are unaware, at this point, of other characters like Spider-Man. So, that's the way we've chosen to 𓄧play this particular episode of the movie, but, well, we'll wait and see. We'll see what little things you can pick out of it."

From this, it sounds like Venom 2 will include some fun ൲Easter eggs – but won't have 💞a connection to a wider universe.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage arrives this September 24, while Spider-Man 3 lands December 17, and Morbius releases January 28, 2022. In the meantime, check out what else is coming up in our roundup of 2021's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
