I've just realized theMCU has the perfect chance to make its Venom story happen by using a Spider-Man villain it previously introduced and then didn't fully utilize back into the franchise. The MCU timeline has featured Spider-Man in a considerable number of movies since it began, both in his own solo films, and Marvel crossover movies like Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: Civil War. With Spider-Man's movie appearances in the MCU being consistently associated with some of the franchise's highest box offices, it seems likely that there's plenty more appearances from the web-swinging hero on the horizon, too.
