The further Sony gets into their Spider-Man Universe, the sooner they will need to address what is happening with the Marvel icon. Given how tight-lipped they have been about his existence in the movie universe, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 could reveal that the Webb movies were always set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

It would especially make sense after Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Hardy’s character is aware of Spider-Man, given the Symbiote’s animosity towards Peter. Tone-wise, The Amazing Spider-Man movies, and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe have always felt like they could easily have been the same world all along.

Not only does that franchise get their Spider-Man, but it would give Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3 a chance to engage with the characters they have introduced so far, whether it be Venom, Morbius, or the upcoming debuts of Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web. For now, the world will have to wait and see if The Amazing Spider-Man 3 ever comes to fruition.
