Meanwhile, In Another Universe
The final post-credits scene isn’t another tease for Venom 2 but instead takes the form of an extended look at Sony’s next Spider-Man-related movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Beginning with a caption reading “Meanwhile, in another universe,” we’re then dropped into the middle of the action as the young Miles Morales, the second Spidey, is fleeing from supervillain the Prowler.
He escapes his pursuer and visits the grave of Peter Parker to voice his doubts about not being able to continue his heroic work. At this point, a very much alive Parker comes up behind him, causing Miles to lash out with one of his venom blasts. When the cops come, Miles has to grab the unconscious Peter and flee again, resulting in a fun, exciting and beautifully animated chase sequence.
We were already sold on Into the Spider-Verse from the trailers, but this snippet makes us even more hyped for December’s animated movie. The “in another universe” also reminds us that Sony’s committed to building up a Spider-Man multiverse, which will continue after Venom with the Jared Leto-starring Morbius.
