Sony has announced a brand new Venom movie, but it’s likely not what most fans were expecting. With the mainline Spider-Man films as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony has opted to focus on live-action projects featuring Spider-Man villains.

Spider-Man: No Way Home has a mid-credits scene that shows Venom (Tom Hardy) in a bar getting drunk. Then, after getting zapped back to his own universe, we see that he left behind a tiny piece of the symbiote.

The post credits scene for Spider-Man: Brand New Day just hinted at the web-slinger's next appearance - and it's not the movie fans might expect.

FREE GIFT: Until July 31, spend $40 or more on Marvel, DC, Batman, or Jurassic World Lego merchandise and get the Spider-Man vs. Anti-Venom Heist ($4.99 value) for free at Lego, in Lego Stores, or via phone orders while stocks last.

The Venom symbiote has limitless potential thanks to a legion of available hosts, but this appearance from nearly 20 years ago may take the cake.

Spider-Man’s greatest enemy is not who you think. It’s more implacable than Green Goblin, more relentless than Doctor Octopus, and more persistent than Venom.
