Spider-Man: No Way Home is so full of huge, large, spoilerly surprises, in some way, its two credit score scenes could not even register. Part of that’s as a result of nearly each single Marvel film up to now has had at the very least one scene, so everybody is aware of to sit down within the theater till the very finish to see some form of a shock. It’s simply that No Way Home delivers that each within the physique of the movie, in addition to the tip credit.

We’ll break down a few of the in-film spoilers quickly, however for now, let’s speak post-credit scenes particularly and their bigger implications throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The first post-credit scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home includes Venom. Which, after the post-credit scene in Venom: Let There Be Carnage concerned Spider-Man, was a protected guess. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) continues to be on the tropical resort we noticed him at in that scene. Now although, due to Venom, he’s in our dimension. So Eddie (and Venom by proxy) is asking the bartender (performed by Ted Lasso’s Cristo Fernandez) about this world. He can’t fathom that this world, the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he’s been introduced into, has so many heroes. He mentions the wealthy man with the metallic go well with, he mentions the large inexperienced man, and even the purple alien who likes stones. Both Eddie and Venom are blown away by all this when, out of nowhere, they disappear.

Two issues right here. One, the best way Venom disappears is similar method all of the characters within the movie disappear. Meaning, the actions of Peter Parker and Doctor Strange on the finish of the film meant to ship everybody house have labored. Anyone who doesn’t belong on this dimension goes again to their dimension. This occurs not solely in New York City with the No Way Home characters however, on this tropical bar with Eddie Brock. Second, and extra importantly, Eddie/Venom leaves a tiny piece of black symbiotic behind. Dun dun dunnnnnnnn.

The speedy, and admittedly unusual, implication is that Venom could quickly exist within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however he gained’t be possessing Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock. Which can be form of crappy, proper? Tom Hardy guidelines, and to be denied him on this world feels both contractual or tonal. Either Marvel isn’t positive they wish to pay him (or Sony has some objection), or Marvel desires a special tackle the character. Sony’s Venom is imply, however he’s not precisely a foul man, and perhaps Marvel Studios desires Venom to be not simply formidable, however beatable, for Spidey. There’s additionally the likelihood that is simply an impediment that can make Eddie Brock’s journey again to the MCU a bit extra in-depth. On the floor although, it appears apparent and believable that this little speck on the bar will discover one other host, after which that host would be the MCU Venom. However, if Eddie and Venom obtained zapped again to their house by no means to return, why did this little piece of symbiote keep behind? Seems like a little bit of a cheat.

That’s credit score scene one. Credits scene two is method, method bigger. In truth, it’s mainly a full trailer for Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, which isn’t out till May 6! I need to admit, greater than something that occurs in No Way Home, this stunned me. Mainly as a result of it’s a Sony film promoting a Disney film Sony will get zero {dollars} for. If Disney simply created the trailer and requested theaters to play it earlier than Spider-Man? Sure. But to connect it and make it a part of the film? That’s form of wild. And but, as a postscript to No Way Home, the addition works on quite a few ranges.

First of all, Multiverse of Madness is directed by Sam Raimi who, a couple of hours earlier on that exact same display, had not two, not three, however 4 of his Spider-Man characters resurrected within the MCU. Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Sandman (Thomas Hayden Church), and the primary Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire.) And don’t fear, we’ll get way more into that quickly. But that it’s a Raimi movie ending a movie so influenced by Raimi is past cool.

Then, clearly, No Way Home was Doctor Strange’s most direct interplay but with the mysterious multiverse. So the actual fact his subsequent film strikes on from there makes this credit scene perhaps probably the most revealing we’ve seen in a Marvel film. The trailer reveals that Strange will carry Wanda again and point out the occasions of WandaImaginative and prescient, a couple of acquainted creatures, a brand new take a look at Mordo, and, lastly, what seems to be to be Strange Supreme, the evil Doctor Strange from one other dimension we first met in episode 4 of What If?. How any of that occurs we will’t rightfully say for the reason that film isn’t out till May 6, 2022. But it ought to be enjoyable to find.

How do you suppose the Venom scene will play into the way forward for the MCU? Will Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness examine to this movie? Let us know what you suppose under. And test again quickly for extra on the remainder of Spider-Man No Way Home.
