We don’t think that it connects to Sony’s planned Black Cat and Silver Sable movie (as there hasn’t been much development on that project, from details we’ve been able to pick up), but we’re really hoping that Holland can find his way into this world and trade punches with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock… either in this movie, or in a future chapter.
For now, Venom is being viewed as a standalone movie, one that Sony is developing apart from the Marvel Cinematic Universe — where Tom Holland’s Spider-Man exists — but one that MIGHT run concurrent to the events of the MCU.
