In a time when the Marvel Universe is set to introduce Hell’s Kitchen attorney Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), and more into the MCU, it’s clear that Sony has a Spider-Man crossover with Miles Morales and Venom (Tom Hardy in mind).
Sony Producer Amy Pascal shared with Fandango where the two studios are with these developments:
“I would say there’s so many things that we’re going to be able to explore, but what we always have to do before we decide who the villain is going to be and what Spidey goes up against is what is the story we’re telling about? You know? What’s the Peter Parker story we’re telling? What’s the Miles Morales story that we’re telling? But we always have to start with that. The good thing about these movies is as big as the canvas they take place on can be, they are always just stories about a kid.”

Pascal speaks for Sony when they want to focus more on story rather than fan appeal, finding motives behind why a particular character from another universe or story would join Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
In an extraordinary turn of events, Sony confirmed that they’re staying in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for at least three more Spider-Man films, meaning Tom Holland remains the beloved Avenger/superhero for years to come.
Sony Pictures has a massive hit on their hands when they produce a live-action Venom/Spider-Man crossover, bridging together iconic characters into a destined fight in Marvel’s New York.
Now that Sony confirmed that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 is reportedly coming soon, a live-action Miles Morales film and crossover into the MCU is undoubtedly in the works.

Indicating that Venom is now a part of the MCU, it’s clear that Marvel is working towards an eventual Spider-Man vs. Venom movie. Now, it’s up to the new Tom Holland contract and what the studios stipulate for future films.
