Audiences were thrilled to see Michael Keaton make an appearance in Sony Pictures’Morbiustrailer , evidently as his Adrian Toomes ( aka The Vulture ) fiber from MCU’sSpider - Man : Homecoming . Keaton ’s show launched fan guess that Sony ’s Spider - Man movies would be merging with the MCU’sSpider - Manfilms , eventually creating a divvy up universe where Spider - Man character possess by Sony - like Venom and Morbius - can finally interact with Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man .

Of of course , Sony and Marvel have had more than a few exit in the past tense creating mutually beneficial sight to divvy up their characters , and while it does front like thing have worked out for the second , one wonders if any crossovers between these two companies wo n’t come after the same patterns of retiring Marvel / DC Comics crossovers .

ten before superheroes were big business in Hollywood , mirthful book fans were clamoring for crossover fib between their favorite Marvel and DC characters . In 1976 , Marvel and DC granted   those readers ' wish by producingSuperman vs. The Amazing Spider - Man , a crossover comic stone the Man of Steel against the Wall Crawler . Rather than get into a lengthy account of how these hero sandwich could see , DC and Marvel simply indicate that thesuperheroes had always co - existed in the same universeand just never crossed path ( since Superman was interfering in Metropolis and Spider - Man unremarkably fought crime in New York ) .

Years after , Marvel and DC launched a more ambitious four - issue miniseries entitledMarvel vs. DC.This new serial established that Marvel and DC charactersdidexist in separate universes – and had to contend each other to check their universe ’s survival . eminent stakes shenanigans result and the universe even temporarily merged into a composite “ Amalgam Universe ” before everything was sorted out and everyone returned home , with most retaining trivial to no memory of the experience .

The miniseries also inclose Access , a case co - possess by Marvel and DC . Access had the business leader to travel between both universes and later give away he could even move   at will throughout their timelines . However , he also found that if he detain in one macrocosm too long , the universes would start to merge – creating an alternative universe where Marvel and DC characters co - existed , and finally mix them to the point where they would become the“Amalgam ” Universe again .

This implied that all the earlier Marvel / DC crossovers were a issue of Access ’ bungling and that the reason the superheroes could co - exist ( and subsequently not remember ever meeting ) was because Access bring off to merge and then disunite their universes again . Access did n’t even appear in many of these stories – although when he did , he throw reading that he was “ sorting things out ” behind the scene .

While a cosmic crossing over explanation like Access seems a bit excessive and puzzling for the cinematic rendering of the Spider - Man cosmos , it ’s still potential that Marvel and Sony could play their Spider - Man picture in much the same way . Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man could just “ bechance ” to meet Venom and/or Morbius in their Sony movies but then forget about them in his own MCU movies since the films had been un - entwine off screenland as Sony and Marvel talk terms and re - negociate their deals .

It ’s even potential that other MCU picture could poke fun at this invariant meeting and un - confluence in movies , like the upcomingDoctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness , which will explore the MCU ’s multiverse – and even the continuation toSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse , which has already established Spider - Man exists in multiple parallel realism . Strange and the alternating Spider - Men would n’t even have to make specific allusion to Spider - Man film – just commentary on how sure universes seem to get tangle with each other wish , fitly , a spider ’s World Wide Web .

Whatever route Sony and Marvel decide to follow , the comic books have sure enough shown that even temporary crossovers between favorite characters can crop to great essence . In the end , fans are more concerned with seeingSpider - Maninteract with Venom and other classic characters than they are with a cosmic or bodied explanation of the meeting itself … and it looks like such a classic meeting will presently take place .
