The transdimensional bar is not the one curious “Spider-Man: No Means Residence” allusion within the “Venom: The Final Dance” trailer. We additionally get a short shot of Rhys Ifans’ taking part in guitar at the back of a van cruising down the freeway. Ifans portrayed Dr. Curt Connors, aka Lizard, within the “Superb Spider-Man” movies and reprised the position in “No Means Residence.” Now, Ifans is taking part in another person completely in “Venom 3” — or might it’s the identical character as soon as once more?
In contrast to Baron Karl Mordo, Sony’s film rights take care of Marvel permits the studio to make use of Lizard as they see match since he is a part of the Spider-Man universe. However whereas which means that he might seem in “Venom: The Final Dance,” Ifans’ character within the trailer seems to be nothing like Dr. Connors — he has two arms reasonably than one, for starters. Secondly, the “Superb Spider-Man’s” Lizard would have been despatched again to his personal timeline — the one the place Andrew Garfield performs Peter Parker. That mentioned, this would not be the primary time {that a} Spider-Man villain from one other universe appeared in Sony’s standalone movies, as Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton), aka the Vulture, seems on the finish of “Morbius.”
That is most likely an Easter egg at most and a little bit of incidental casting a minimum of, however it’s odd to see such a memorable “Spider-Man” actor pop up in what seems to be to be a reasonably small position.
