Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse addressed how Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes ended up in Morbius and Venom’s universe.

Spider-Verse 2 introduced a plethora of Spider-Men across the Multiverse while revealing a key plot point that helped explain the events of Morbius’ post-credits scene.

In Morbius’ post-credits sequence, Adrian Toomes, aka Vulture, was transported to Sony’s Marvel universe (the world where Jared Leto’s titular vampire and Tom Hardy’s Venom reside).

Some fans theorized that this happened due to the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, leading to speculation that Morbius didn’t fully understand how Doctor Strange’s Multiverse spell worked.

Spider-Verse 2 Explains Morbius’ Confusing Post-Credits Scene

Warning – the rest of this article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse revealed that the first movie’s events (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) caused rifts between universes that were dragging Spider-Man villains from one universe to another.

Are there Post Credit Scenes in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse?

In the sequel, a Renaissance-inspired Vulture, The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone voices, invaded Spider-Gwen’s universe, Earth-65. Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099) and Jessica Drew then arrive to help Gwen, with the latter learning about the cause of Vulture’s sudden appearance on her Earth.

Based on Spider-Verse 2’s events, Into the Spider-Verse is the main culprit for why Keaton’s Vulture ended up in Sony’s Marvel universe and why he suspects it “has something to do with Spider-Man.”

This plot point in Spider-Verse 2 solved Morbius’ post-credits pothole caused by Michael Keaton’s appearance as Vulture. This also fixed fan complaints about Morbius hurting the MCU since many have pointed out that the movie didn’t understand how No Way Home’s spell worked.

How are Spider-Man and Morbius Connected?

Morbius is a Marvel Comics character who has menaced Spider-Man on the page since 1971. No, as far as we know, Spider-Man does not exist in Morbius’ universe. The Morbius post-credits scenes involve Adrian Toomes, AKA the Vulture, who was last seen in the 2017 MCU movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. So Morbius should probably be asking Vulture a lot of follow-ups.

Spider-Verse 2 Hints at Sony’s Grand Spider-Man Plan

Spider-Verse 2’s reveal that the first film has something to do with Morbius’ confusing post-credits scene may hint at the potential endgame of Sony’s Marvel universe.

In Morbius’ post-credits scene, Vulture tries to recruit Morbius to deal with Spider-Man, seemingly seeking revenge for being stuck in that specific universe. A Sinister Six team-up may be in the cards, which could be the culminating event that Sony is leaning towards.

Interestingly, this aligns with a past report claiming that Sony’s “long-term goal is to make Sinister Six.”

At this point, possible members of the Sinister Six might include Tom Hardy’s Venom, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter, and Chameleon (who is already confirmed to be part of Kraven’s solo movie), alongside Morbius and Vulture.

The sixth and final member could be unveiled soon, and Sony might surprise everyone by showing that this villain is also from another universe as well.

Hopefully, the ripple effects of the Spider-Verse films will slowly be felt in the live-action realm.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is now playing in theaters worldwide.
