Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man Returns To The MCU With A Tragic Twist In Avengers 6 Theory

When Garfield's Peter Parker appears next, he could have to fight Holland's Spider-Man. That is what a new Avengers: Secret Wars theory suggests. According to the theory, Holland's Peter Parker could come into contact with the Venom symbiote. Spider-Man: No Way Home's endingleft the MCU's Spider-Man at rock bottom, making him susceptible to the symbiote's influence. After donning Spider-Man's iconic black suit, Holland's Marvel hero could give in to the violence he used against Green Goblin in Spider-Man: No Way Home's final fight, turning to that darkness in order to defend his universe from destruction.

Marvel Comics' Secret Wars saw multiple universes collide with one another. Some Marvel heroes destroyed other Earths to protect their own. This could play out in Avengers: Secret Wars, with Holland's Spider-Man having to fight Garfield's Peter Parker to see who can save their own world. While the characters would likely choose to work together, the symbiote could cloud the judgment of the MCU's Peter. In the comics, Spider-Man gets the symbiote in Secret Wars. This heartbreaking fight would pay off Garfield's line of wanting to fight an alien, though it would be Holland's Peter with the symbiote.

How Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Could Get The Black Suit In The MCU

The MCU Can Connect To Sony's Venom Movies

Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Tom Hardy's Venom have yet to meet. However, the SSU character did make a short trip to the MCU. Hardy's Eddie Brock got to know about Peter Parker being Spider-Man and received an MCU history lesson from a bartender before being sent back to his universe. However, a piece of the Venom symbiote stayed behind in the Marvel Studios universe. After the Venom: The Last Dance trailer showed Rex Strickland collecting a piece of the symbiote in what looked to be the MCU bar Venom was in, the film revealed that Strickland was in the SSU.

There were two separate pieces of Venom left behind, and the MCU's piece is still in the universe. Given how Holland's Peter Parker is in a darker headspace and the character got the symbiote for the first time in the comics' Secret Wars event, Spider-Man getting his classic black suit in Avengers: Secret Wars seems likely. While Venom: The Last Dance ended with the symbiote sacrificing itself to kill the Xenophages, Venom could be back through the piece of the character that stayed in the MCU. This could lead to Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock also appearing in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Avengers: Secret Wars Could Still Give All Spider-Man Variants A Happy Ending

The Comics Show How The Conflict Can Be Resolved

Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man returning to the MCU should be a reason for celebration, and having him fight Tom Holland's Spider-Man like the Avengers: Secret Wars theory suggests would be heartbreaking. Given the destructive nature of the incursions that will be part of the MCU movie, it would make sense if heroes from several non-MCU live-action Marvel movies fought heroes like Holland's Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the soon-to-be-introduced Fantastic Four in order to save their respective universes. That could paint a bleak picture for the film. However, there is a way for all Marvel heroes to have a happy ending.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom will be the main villain of the next two Avengers movies. The character was also the antagonist of the comic book event that inspired Avengers: Secret Wars. Even though Doom was successful at first in the comics, creating his own domain, Battleworld, he was eventually defeated by Marvel's heroes. Likewise, Doctor Doom could create chaos in the MCU and make several heroes, like Garfield and Holland's Spider-Man, fight, creating Battleworld at the end of Avengers: Doomsday. Then, like in the comics, Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards could recreate the multiverse and save all universes from destruction.

How Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Could Continue After Avengers: Secret Wars

There Are Multiple Ways For Garfield To Play Spider-Man Over The Next Decade

Despite the MCU's Multiverse Saga ending with Avengers: Secret Wars, there are a few exciting ways Garfield's Spider-Man could continue to grace the big screen after the movie. In the comics, after Secret Wars, Miles Morales was made part of Earth-616. Due to the popularity of Garfield and Maguire's Spider-Men, Marvel could do something similar with the duo, having them stay in the MCU to help out when major events come. However, that is unlikely. Garfield has better chances of continuing to play Spider-Man after Avengers: Secret Wars outside the MCU.

Fans have been asking for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to be made since Garfield returned as Spider-Man. That film could bring back Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy through multiverse elements, perhaps in connection to Avengers: Secret Wars, and show how The Amazing Spider-Man universe is doing nowadays. Garfield could also become the Spider-Man that the SSU has sorely been lacking. The actor's Spider-Man films fit the tone of Tom Hardy's Venom movies, making for a seamless integration. Whether he fights Tom Holland's Spider-Man like the theory suggests or not, Andrew Garfield has a huge chance of being in Avengers: Secret Wars.
