• Insider MyTimeToShineH claims Kevin Feige wants Venom in Avengers: Secret Wars (Dec. 12, 2027)
• Tom Hardy’s Venom left a symbiote fragment in the MCU during Spider-Man: No Way Home
• Mark Ruffalo recently hinted Spider-Man will fight “an alien” in a future MCU film
• Secret Wars is already casting extras for “enhanced beings” ahead of its summer shoot
• The Russo Brothers are directing; the confirmed cast includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Tom Holland

Tom Hardy’s Venom may finally be getting his MCU moment — and it could come in the biggest Marvel movie ever made. According to insider MyTimeToShineH, Kevin Feige is eager to include Venom in Avengers: Secret Wars, the Multiverse Saga finale currently slated for December 12, 2027.

The scoop is unconfirmed for now, but MyTimeToShineH has a strong track record on Marvel intel, and the timing makes a certain kind of sense. Ever since Hardy’s Eddie Brock stumbled into the MCU — and then stumbled right back out — fans have been waiting for the Lethal Protector to properly share a screen with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. That moment has been teased, dangled, and delayed for years. Secret Wars could finally be where it pays off.

The Breadcrumbs Are Already There

The groundwork was quietly laid in 2021. At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, a small piece of the Venom symbiote was left behind in the mainline MCU universe when Hardy’s version of the character was pulled back to his own reality. It was the kind of detail that Marvel doesn’t drop by accident.

Then last month, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo — who is set to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day — was at a Q&A at Italy’s Ministry of Education and Merit when he let something slip. He didn’t say Venom by name, but he told the audience, “I promise you 1000% that [Spider-Man] will be fighting an alien in the future.” Whether that’s a hint at Venom specifically or something else entirely, the comment immediately set fan communities buzzing.

For comic readers, the Venom-in-Secret-Wars angle carries extra weight. In the original 1984 Marvel Comics run, the Secret Wars storyline is literally where Peter Parker first bonds with the alien symbiote — the one that eventually becomes Venom. If the Russo Brothers are drawing from that source material, an encounter between Spider-Man and the symbiote on Battleworld wouldn’t just be fan service. It would be faithful adaptation.

What We Know About Secret Wars So Far

Production on Avengers: Secret Wars is set to begin later this summer, primarily in the UK. But a U.S. casting agency is already seeking extras for the film, with a call out for civilians, military personnel, scientists, fighters, survivors — and, notably, “enhanced beings.” On a Battleworld set in a medieval-style reality inspired by Doctor Doom’s Latveria, that last category could mean almost anything.

The confirmed cast is already stacked. Robert Downey Jr. returns as Doctor Doom, joined by Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. The Fantastic Four lineup — Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — is also confirmed, along with Sadie Sink in an undisclosed role.

The script is being written by Michael Waldron with additional work from Stephen McFeely, and the Russo Brothers — back in the Marvel fold for the first time since Avengers: Endgame in 2019 — are directing.

No official word yet on Hardy’s involvement, and Marvel isn’t commenting. But if Feige really is pushing to make this happen, the pieces couldn’t be more perfectly arranged. A symbiote fragment already sitting in the MCU. A Spider-Man film in the pipeline. The Russo Brothers back. And a story that, in the comics, was always about an alien costume in the first place.

The symbiote has been patient. It might not have to wait much longer.
