Following Eddie Brock/Venom's (Tom Hardy) appearance at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film's writers, Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, have discussed the possibility of the Lethal Protector appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At IGN Fan Fest, Sommers talked about Brock's cameo in No Way Home, which followed up on the character moving between universes at the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The scene in question sees Brock at a bar talking learning about the MCU before he disappears. However, he leaves a piece of his symbiote behind. As Sommers explained, "It leaves the door open for possibilities. As opposed to just seeing him go back and not seeing any symbiote. So it just allows for some exciting possibilities in the future."

Sommers and McKenna were then asked about Venom's future in the MCU. "I have no idea," McKenna said. "That is above our pay grade. We are part of a bigger, larger universe that we are not the gods of, we're just mortals in." McKenna also noted that he thought it was fun that a member of the Sinister Six ended up stuck in a bar rather than fighting Spider-Man.

Set after the events of 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home, No Way Home saw Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) enlisting the help of Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to undo Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) revealing his identity to the world after the revelation started adversely affecting his life and those of his friends. However, the spell went awry and ended up pulling in characters from all across the various Spider-Man franchises. Among them were such villains as Doctor Otto Octavius/Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), Max Dillon/Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Norman Osborn/Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe).

Commercially, No Way Home has proven a huge success for Marvel Studios and Sony. At the time of writing, No Way Home has made over $1.8 billion at the worldwide box office, making it one of the top grossing films ever. Additionally, the movie is the third-highest grossing film domestically ever, having surpassed 2009's Avatar. 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens and 2019's Avengers: Endgame still have their hold on the first and second place slots at $936 million and $858 million, respectively.

No Way Home performed as well critically as it did commercially. Among critics, the film holds a 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. This led to Sony and Marvel Studios seeking a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. However, when the nominations were announced, No Way Home was nominated for Best Visual Effects, but not Best Picture.

No Way Home is in theaters now. At the time of writing, it's not clear when the film will release on home media. Recently, reports suggested No Way Home wouldn't receive a digital release until March 22. Additionally, there are rumors an extended cut of No Way Home is headed to theaters.
