Is Marvel Hiding Venom In Avengers: Infinity War?
Are Marvel Studios and Sony Picture really not on the same page when it comes to where their [...]
Spider-Man's Alien Costume
Many fans of Spider-Man and Venom find it baffling to suggest that the latter can exist without the former. Venom is an alien symbiote who, in the Marvel Comics Universe, first bonds with Spider-Man during the Marvel Comics 1984-85 event series Secret Wars.
Spider-Man wears the symbiote as a new suit for a time after returning to Earth, but the symbiote eventually tries to influence Spider-Man's actions. Spider-Man rejects the symbiote's corruption and discards the suit. The symbiote hates Spider-Man for this rejection and bonds with Eddie Brock, a disgraced reporter who blames his own downfall on Spider-Man.
This hatred of Spider-Man is Venom's defining character trait for most of his early adventures. As such, fans are having a hard time imagining an origin for Venom that doesn't involve Spider-Man. Then again, Maybe they don't have to.

Fans know that Spider-Man will appear in Avengers: Infinity War. It is also known that Avengers: Infinity War will tell of how Thanos and his alien army invade the Earth. It is at least possible then that the Venom symbiote could hitch a ride on one of Thanos' vessels, or perhaps even the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship the Milano, and come to Earth that way and Spider-Man could discover the symbiote from there.
If this is true, then that would mean Kevin Feige is lying about the connections between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony's expanded Spider-Man franchise in order to preserve the surprise. Meanwhile, Pascal is a little more open about what's really going on.
This is a conspiracy theory for sure, or maybe just wishful thinking, but it's interesting to consider. For now, it's up to fans to decide if Feige is hiding something or if he's just as confused by Pascal's comments as the rest of us are.
