Venom to be in the MCU?

Venom to be in the MCU?



Recently, there has been some confusion on whether or not the Venom spin-off movie will or will not be part of the MCU. As recently as a week or so ago, Kevin Feige confirmed that there are no plans to have the Tom Hardy led film be part of the current MCU continuity. However, Amy Pascal, one of the heads at Sony, had something very different to say. Speaking to FilmStarts, she said: 

"Well, those movies will all take place in the world that we're now creating for Peter Parker. They'll all be adjuncts to it. They may be different locations, but it will still be in the same world. They will all be connected to each other as well." 

Whether or not these comments were part of the original plan remains to be seen. It appears that Feige and Pascal have different ideas about the same topic, and whether or not they mean the same thing, or have not discussed this in depth is not clear. 

Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7th, 2017, and stars Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Zendaya, Donald Glover, Marisa Tomei, and Jon Favreau. Thrilled by whis experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker returns home to be live with his Aunt May. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark, Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider0Man. He also has to return to his normal daily routine -- distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just a friendly neighborhood superhero. Peter must soon put his powers to the test when ea evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear. 

Venom will be released the following year on October 5th, 2018 and stars Tom Hardy.
