It looks like eagle-eyed viewers might be well rewarded when Venom: Let there be Carnage is released in cinemas this September.
In a recent commentary on the trailer for the movie which arrived a few weeks ago (here), director Andy Serkis discussed how the movie will be related to the MCU (here), however, he also teased a hint/nod to the wider Sony Marvel universe that’s set for the coming years and which we likely will have a better feel for after the release of Spider-man: No Way Home this Christmas (here) and will hopefully know how exactly this all fits into one big landscape.
Anyway, will Serkis makes it clear that, while Venom and Spider-man are related to each other in the bigger picture, he stressed that the Venom sequel would be its own thing… but it will have connections to the wider Sonyverse.
In the trailer, we see The Ravencroft institute – sort of the Marvel equivalent of Arkham Asylum, where many of the most evil and devious of the Marvel villains reside – and at this point, Serkis remarks: “This lovely little abode is, of course, well-known to fans.
“I’m not going to say too much about it, but of course, it houses some of the world’s greatest supervillains. It’s a secret place not even Detective Mulligan and [the San Francisco Police Department] know about. We get another slightly different entry point into this strange place which of course links up to other Marvel universe characters, particularly Spider-Man stories, of course.”
Now, we know that Morbius is coming (now pushed back to January 2022), the Kraven the Hunter movie is getting prepped for development, and that others are planned, so we’re wondering who or what we’ll see teased… but having nods to villains in cells in Ravencroft seems like a great way to when fans’ appetites.
What say you all? Is there anything you’d love to see teased in the movie?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
