Did Sony Just Confirm Tony Stark's Existence In the Venom Movie Universe?

Image
For comic book movie fans, recent months have been both the best of times and the worst of times. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a gift in that it not only completed Tom Holland's first trilogy but also united all three of cinema's live-action Spideys on the big screen. But then, as a chaser to Marvel and Sony's Multiversal web-slinging epic - and as a preview of what Sony has planned for its adjacent Venom Universe - the latter studio presented Marvel fans with  Morbius . Starring Jared Leto as the good-hearted doctor turned vampire, Morbius finally made its theatrical debut on April Fools' Day. While it was intended to be Sony's next film in its growing universe, Morbius largely disappointed audiences and drastically lowered expectations for the studio's future plans.

The ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home featured Peter Parker making his biggest sacrifice yet when he gave up his own identity. Thanks to Doctor Strange’s help in Spidey’s third MCU solo film, the world no longer remembers Peter Parker. This was quite the punishment to volunteer for - Peter’s entire life disappeared and no one remembers him now, including MJ, Ned, the Avengers, and possibly even his collection of Tony Stark’s technology.  If there’s any silver lining to Peter Parker’s identity being erased from existence, it’s that Peter no longer has to juggle his life as a teenaged kid with his time spent saving the city as Spider-Man. ADVERTISEMENT To further emphasize that fact, Peter showed off a new suit in the closing moments of No Way Home that he sewed together himself, and it seemed… less capable than his recent outfits.  Marvel Considering the possibility that Peter may never be able to use Stark Tech the same way again following the events ...

Of all the A-listers that have driven the Marvel Cinematic Universe forward since 2008, none were as pivotal in its development as Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. Kicking off his journey as Tony Stark in the franchise's first movie, he would make ten total appearances in eleven years before meeting his end in 2019's Avengers: Endgame . Although his three solo movies and appearances in Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming added to his legacy, Downey shone brightest in the four Avengers team-up films. Endgame solidified his mark on the franchise as Tony worked out the science behind time travel, helping bring half the universe back to life before his unforgettable sacrifice. ADVERTISEMENT Tony's death in Endgame became the true culmination of everything the Infinity Saga built, especially as Tony snapped his fingers with his classic catchphrase "I am Iron Man." Recently, Downey looked back on this historic MCU ...
