Marvel Studios is rumored to want a Sony Marvel character for the MCU, plus insights into animation and live-action blending

Marvel Studios sought to push the boundaries of storytelling by exploring the concept of the Multiverse, which fans were initially excited about. While some may have grown indifferent to the Multiverse, Marvel remains committed to weaving an intricate narrative that will ultimately culminate in the highly anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars.

In a recent rumor that surfaced, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige he reportedly wants to incorporate a Sony Marvel character into the MCU. Additionally, there are other details shared about how animation and live action will blend seamlessly in future MCU projects.

According to Scoper @Cryptic4KQual, Feige aims to introduce a villain from Sony’s Spider-Man universe into the MCU. The rumors don’t specify which character this might be, leaving fans to speculate about the possibilities. However, it is said that this character will play “an interesting but daunting role”.

A popular theory circulating among fans is that this character could be Venom. The prospect of Venom entering the MCU would not only allow for exciting encounters with established Marvel heroes, but would also raise questions about how this character’s dynamic would play out with established MCU characters. The post-credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home appeared Tom HardyVenom unknowingly leaves a piece of the Venom symbiote in the MCU. So, this is a real possibility.

While the concept of the Multiverse has been explored in various Marvel properties, including the Disney+ series Loki and the imminent Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessInformation from @Cryptic4KQual suggests a unique twist in how characters will navigate between different realities.

It is explained: “The dynamic nature of the Multiverse will see the characters transition seamlessly between animated and live-action forms, as anticipated in [Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Any characters that make a jump to another [universe] [will] become whatever the state of matter is in that universe and adopt it [its] similarity.”

For example, the scooper refers to the character Prowler Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In this case, Donald GloverProwler’s portrait appeared in live-action rather than animation because the character was trapped in a cage from Spider-Man 2099, allowing him to retain his original form. So, I assume this means that if we see any animated characters make the leap to live-action in the next Avengers films, they will become live-action.

In reality we have already seen it Multiverse of madness featuring animated versions of Professor X and Captain Carter in their live action forms.

As Marvel Studios continues to expand its narrative, we’re still not sure what to expect from the future of the MCU. Fans just hope that the overall quality of the films improves.
