Eddie brock no way home11/24/2023 ![]() ![]() They’ve reacted in the best way they know how: getting wasted. Somewhere in there, the alien symbiote is hip to what’s happening around the multiverse, even if it doesn’t involve him and Eddie.) While Peter and pals are off battling bad guys in Manhattan, Eddie and Venom have also been pulled into a strange universe. It seems that Eddie and Venom slipped through because of Venom’s big ol’ brain. (Of note: in the film, Strange tells Peter that the spell works on people who know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, including all those baddies and other universe Spider-Men. Turns out, when Doctor Strange’s spell pulled in a bunch of Spider-Man’s greatest foes from their own universes, it also pulled in Eddie and Venom. That concept is only furthered by the first post-credits scene in “No Way Home,” which finds a very drunk Eddie and Venom kicking it at a local watering hole, clearly trying to work their way through just what the hell (or, more appropriately, where the hell) is happening. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” Courtesy of Sony Pictures It’s a shot that looks familiar to anyone who has seen “Far from Home,” and considering it’s where “No Way Home” opens, the implication is clear: Eddie and Venom have fallen into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Venom hastens to tell Eddie that their little mind-meld is not at all responsible for what has just happened - talk about incredibly bad timing - the television flicks from telenovela to a special edition of the “Daily Bugle” news program, complete with an EXCLUSIVE! shot of Tom Holland as our current-day Spider-Man, looking utterly baffled in the middle of Manhattan. The world, it appears, has changed, or maybe the universe has. The timing could not be worse: Just as Eddie is coming back down to (mental) Earth, the scene shifts, and suddenly, the duo aren’t in a trashy hotel room, they’re tucked up inside a lavish luxury suite. When we last left Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and his beloved Venom (also Tom Hardy, of course), the dynamic duo were chilling in a delightfully seedy hotel room somewhere in Latin America, having blown out of town after the events of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” As the two bicker about how everyone has a past (inspired by a telenovela viewing again, of course), Venom offers to show Eddie a tiny glimpse of the alien symbiote’s copious knowledge. Tom Holland: Promoting ‘The Crowded Room’ Has Been Difficult After Being ‘Horribly Reviewed’ So what happens after all that? The film includes two post-credits scenes (well, sort of) that both hinge on the effects and after-effects of Strange’s spell-casting, hinting at repercussions that go beyond just the Spider-Verse. It’s all in an attempt to stitch a crumbling multiverse back together, after an earlier Strange spell (doc, come on) tested the limits of the multiverse, allowing a few baddies (and goodies!) to slip through, resulting in one hell of an adventure for Spider-Man and his best pals. Without getting too spoiler-y - which, yes, might be a bit silly when it comes to unpacking the literal last scenes of the film, which we will do below - the film ends with Peter Parker striking out on his own, after convincing Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a spell to make everyone ( everyone) forget who he is. When Jon Watts’ third standalone Spider-Man film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” concludes, the Tom Holland-starring mini-franchise has set a course for a brand-new start for the so-called Spider-Verse.
