Exploring the story of the MCU’s iteration of the character, it also featured what can only be described as a celebration of the characters past 20 years on the big screen.
What also developed out of this record-breaking endeavor by Sony and Marvel was an overwhelming uncertainty as to where the story will go next.

With the unfortunate reality of the conclusion of the film featuring the world forgetting Peter Parker was ever Spider-Man, Sony and Marvel are left with a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man they can narratively take anywhere.
There was one clue that could indicate the future of the MCU’s Peter Parker, with a small portion of Venom’s symbiote suit being left behind after he was transported back to the Sony universe.

The source material saw Peter Parker bond to the Symbiote after an incredible run following the black suit’s first appearance during Marvel’s Secret Wars saga.
The Amazing Spider-Man #258 showed the struggle for Peter to break free from the symbiote that so wished to take control over him.

This led to the creation of Eddie Brocks Venom and would serve as an incredible follow-up for Tom Hollands Peter Parker following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Time will only tell where Marvel and Sony are going to go with the MCU’s iteration of Peter Parker, but bonding him to the symbiote could be an exciting direction.
