The idea was to make everyone forget Peter Parker's connection to Spider-Man. Think about that spell for a minute, and how it worked. Venom is transported into the MCU, along with a host of other familiar faces, because of a Doctor Strange incantation gone horribly wrong. What we didn't know back in October when Carnage premiered is the universe switch we witness in the mid-credits scene is a direct result of what happens in No Way Home. Every symbiote everywhere draws from a shared pool of knowledge. The multiversal chaos at the center of the story in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' could always spring up again.ДЄlso, don't forget the biggest Venom: Let There Be Carnage surprise of all: The symbiote we call Venom is part of a hive mind that spans the entire multiverse. And while Spider-Man: No Way Home concludes with order seemingly restored to the multiverse, the chaos at the center of its story could always spring up again. Marvel's relationship with Sony is poised to continue well past the now-complete trilogy of Holland-led Spider-Man movies. The suggestion is that something resembling Venom is going to appear in the life of Tom Holland's Peter Parker. After Eddie winks away, we get a close-up of the 'tip' he left behind on the bar: A tiny drop of symbiote goo. Let's start with the most obvious thing, that final moment.

But there's much more to this scene than tying up the loose end of his MCU arrival in the first place. That means Eddie is (probably) back at home in his own corner of the multiverse. The scene concludes with Eddie getting zapped out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Earth-199999 in the same way as No Way Home's other multiversal visitors. There, Eddie (Tom Hardy) sits at a beachside bar, hearing all about Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones and subsequent 'snappening' - aka The Blip - from a flustered bartender ( Ted Lasso 's Cristo FernГЎndez). Given what happened at the very end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie Brock is a surprising no-show for most of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
