While It's Unknown When The Footage Was Filmed
In terms of what's next for Venom after Let There Be Carnage, Sony hasn't yet confirmed a threequel with the symbiote anti-hero. Although the studio has a number of Marvel projects in the works, the only two with confirmed release dates are Morbius releasing in January 2022 and Kraven the Hunter in January 2023. Fans have long wanted to see Hardy's Venom face off with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but the latter's involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe under the Marvel Studios umbrella has made such a crossover difficult. However, the Venom: Let There Be Carnage end credits scene has now shed some light on the future for Eddie Brock.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage only has one post-credits scene, but it's a game-changer not only for Eddie Brock but Sony's entire universe of Marvel movies. Now that the new Sony Marvel film is in theaters, we break down and explain what the Venom sequel's credits scene means. So one last time: SPOILERS ahead for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
New Tom Holland's Spider-Man Unmasked Footage
One of the more curious aspects of the Venom: Let There Be Carnage credits scene is that the Daily Bugle report of Peter Parker's identity features a new shot of Holland's Spider-Man - or, at least, one that wasn't previously included in the report. The shot shows Peter Parker unmasked but still wearing the black and red Spider-Man costume from the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and he's standing outside Penn Station/Madison Square Garden where he first watched the Daily Bugle report. The shot is meant to help Venom's credits scene to establish that Eddie Brock is now in the MCU by tying it directly to the Spider-Man: Far From Home credits scene. However, all of the Daily Bugle reports (including those released online) use a shot of Holland's Peter Parker in his street clothes, not as Spider-Man, so this is clearly new footage.
What's unclear is whether this footage was filmed for Spider-Man: Far From Home and was eventually cut, or if Holland put on the Spidey suit specifically to film the Venom: Let There Be Carnage end credits scene. It's also possible this footage was filmed for Spider-Man: No Way Home and will be used in the opening of that film. While it's unknown when the footage was filmed, it's most certainly a new shot of Holland's Peter Parker unmasked as Spider-Man used to establish Venom: Let There Be Carnage's post-credits scene takes place partially in the MCU.
Venom Vs. Spider-Man Is Set Up (For No Way Home Or Venom 3?)
In terms of what the Venom: Let There Be Carnage credits scene means for Eddie Brock's future, the symbiote's reaction to seeing Peter Parker in his Spider-Man suit clearly sets up a conflict between the characters. Venom says, "that guy," as he licks the screen showing Peter's face, which potentially teases that the symbiote recognizes the unmasked Spider-Man. It's entirely possible Venom does recognize Spider-Man as he says the symbiote hive mind exists across universes, so if any symbiote anywhere in the multiverse knows Peter Parker, then Venom does as well. Even still, Venom's voice is quite menacing when he says the line, so this works to set up a conflict between Venom and Spider-Man in an upcoming movie. However, it's unclear when exactly that fight might take place.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is the next appearance for Holland's Peter Parker, but there's so far been little indication that Venom will appear in the MCU film. The only hint came when Hardy was spotted wearing a No Way Home logo hat, which are typically given out to people who work on a film, indicating he may have shot a scene or scenes for the movie. But Spider-Man: No Way Home has quite a bit going on. In addition to Doc Ock, Green Goblin and Doctor Strange, the movie also reportedly features the return of Jamie Foxx as Electro, while additional reports have said Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will be back as their Spider-Man heroes, along with a host of other characters from both franchises. With so many characters rumored or confirmed to appear, it seems unlikely No Way Home will feature a proper Venom vs. Spider-Man battle.

Venom & The Symbiote Hive's Multiverse Knowledge Explained
Venom's history before meeting Eddie is somewhat of a mystery across both movies about the Marvel character. The first movie explained that the symbiotes intended to take over Earth and Venom only turned on his kind because he grew attached to Eddie - he felt a kinship with Eddie because they were both losers. Then the Venom: Let There Be Carnage credits scene features the symbiote explaining a little more about his past by saying, "80 billion lightyears of hive knowledge across universes would explode your tiny little brain." He goes on to offer to show Eddie a small bit of what the symbiotes have "experienced," though that doesn't end up happening because Eddie is suddenly transported to the MCU.
What's important to note about Venom's explanation is that he says "lightyears" which are a measurement of distance, not time. So the exact timeline of how long Venom has been around isn't really revealed. However, the mention of "across universes" does indicate that the symbiote hive mind can share knowledge throughout the multiverse. That means that if Venom saying "that guy" when seeing the MCU's Peter Parker means he recognizes Spider-Man, then there may be a symbiote on Earth in the MCU somewhere. This could also mean that Hardy's Venom also has access to the knowledge of Spider-Man 3's Venom, as played by Topher Grace, which could further mean the symbiote hive mind may have knowledge of multiple Peter Parkers across the multiverse.
It's unclear whether Marvel or Sony will explain this aspect of the symbiote mythology further in a future movie, but it does open the door for some neat connections across the Spider-Man multiverse. At the very least, it sheds some light on just how vast Venom's knowledge of the multiverse is if the symbiote hive can share knowledge from different universes, and could prove helpful in Venom battling Spider-Man or in getting him back to his home universe. All told, there are quite a few revelations in the Venom: Let There Be Carnage after-credits scene and they set up an exciting future for Eddie Brock, the MCU and Sony's Marvel movies.
