New reports claim Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is in talks to join Sony Pictures' Venom 2 for a cameo.

The report originally comes from Geeks WorldWide, who notes that negotiations are still in the early stages and so may fall through. Daniel Richtman corroborated the report on his Patreon and indicated that this was part of what Marvel Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige had to agree to in order to keep Spider-Man in the MCU following a breakdown in negotiations earlier this year that was later resolved. At this time, these reports are not officially confirmed.

There were rumors Spider-Man would appear in 2018's Venom, though no such appearance ever materialized, and reports claim Marvel Studios made Sony nix any such cameo. Eddie Brock/Venom actor Tom Hardy previously said he wants his character to fight Spider-Man. Holland, for his part, has also indicated he'd like to see Spider-Man and Venom interact on the big screen.

Although Spider-Man has not yet appeared in Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters, the studio currently has several films in the work based on those heroes and villains to whom it still holds the rights, including Morbius and several other projects at various stages of development. It's not clear what Holland's Spider-Man appearing in Venom 2 would mean for that movie and the MCU.

Directed by Andy Serkis and starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, Venom 2 is scheduled for release on Oct. 2, 2020.
