Kevin Feige ‘Has Hope’ That Spider-Man and Venom Will Finally Meet in the MCU
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige expressed optimism that Spider-Man and Venom could eventually meet within the Marvel Cinematic Universe during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast alongside producer Amy Pascal. The two acknowledged fan enthusiasm for a crossover between Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Tom Hardy’s Venom, characters who have briefly shared the same narrative universe but have never directly encountered each other on screen.
The characters’ universes have teased convergence through post-credits scenes in Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home, suggesting a meeting without delivering one. While Feige and Pascal’s remarks indicated Marvel Studios is aware of audience desire for the crossover and views it favorably, they offered no definitive confirmation that such a meeting would happen. Their comments balanced optimism with ambiguity about the feasibility of bringing these characters together.
The potential crossover remains complicated by the shared rights and production arrangements between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures. Sony independently developed the Venom franchise separate from the MCU’s main Spider-Man films. Despite the characters’ narrative proximity and long-standing fan anticipation, a concrete plan for their meeting has yet to materialize.
