“Spiderman: No Way Home”: What Happens in the Post-Credits Scene and What Could It Mean for the Future of Spider-Man?

One of the traditions of the movies of Marvel is to include a post-credit scene and “Spider-Man: No Way Home”Is no exception. Warning, in this note we will talk about events of the tape that premiered on December 16.

Surprising few, the film’s post-credits scene involves Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), the host of the Venom symbiote and whose presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe had already been established at the end of “Venom: Let there be Carnage.”

Let’s remember that at the end of this movie Eddie and Venom had to flee from justice after their fight with Cletus Kasady and now they are in a paradisiacal location so that the alien can experience the sensation of the sand on his feet and the breeze in his nonexistent hair.

In the post-credit scene of that film, the duo that makes up the ‘lethal protector’ are relaxing watching soap operas in a hotel room when a sudden and inexplicable phenomenon transports them to a similar, albeit unknown location, where a special report from the Daily Bugle by J. Jonah Jameson (JK Simmons) reveals Spider-Man’s secret identity.

Meanwhile, the post-credit scene of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” finds him an indeterminate time later in a bar talking to the bartender about the strange world where he is where it is normal that there are hundreds of people with superpowers, millionaires who They can fly thanks to high-tech armor and a purple alien with an obsession for gems, the latter a thing incomprehensible to Brock considering that, in his experience, aliens are only interested in brains.

However, when it comes time to pay the bill, a white light begins to envelop Eddie Brock’s body and seemingly returns him to his universe in a manner similar to how the other villains brought to the MCU by Doctor Strange’s spell disappeared. at the end of the movie. And while the encounter between Spider-Man and Venom seems temporarily thwarted,

Regardless, Eddie Brock’s presence in the MCU leaves questions behind. First of all, his appearance in the MCU seems to precede Doctor Strange’s casting of the spell, which occurs weeks or even months after Spider-Man’s identity was revealed to the public.

Second, “No Way Home” clearly established that all the people who came from the multiverse were people who knew the secret identity of a version of Peter Parker.

The film offers a kind of explanation, pointing out that the Klyntar, the race to which Venom belongs, is connected to each other through the multiverse, so it is possible that the symbiote of this cinematic universe knows the identity of Peter Parker thanks to one of its counterparts. However, if this has a greater meaning or is a continuity error, it is still too early to tell. What we do know is that Sony and Marvel are thinking of “colliding” franchises.

This was advanced by the director of “Venom 2”, Andy Serkis, in an interview with Comicbook.com in October when talking about his post-credits scene: “We wanted audiences to know that these universes are going to collide in some way and we wanted to do it in a way that left it open and unprogrammed. The portal does not cross at all. More questions open I guess, rather than firmly saying something”.
