In an impressive cinematic stride, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the newest chapter in the Spider-Verse saga, has adeptly untangled the enigma rooted in Morbius' post-credits scene.

This pertains to the abrupt appearance of Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes, known as Vulture, in the shared universe inhabited by Morbius and Venom. Unfurling a web of multiverse-spanning Spider-Men, the sequel masterfully demystifies a critical plot element, offering clarity to the puzzling post-credits scene from Morbius.

This scene saw Adrian Toomes, the Vulture, thrust into Sony's Marvel universe, home to Jared Leto's Morbius and Tom Hardy's Venom. The sudden, unaccounted-for crossover prompted a flurry of fan theories, suggesting that it was the fallout of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

This speculation further fanned the flames of doubt, questioning if Morbius truly comprehended the mechanics and consequences of Doctor Strange's Multiverse spell.

Spoiler alert: The following article contains significant plot details from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse brings us on an enthralling journey through space and time, shedding light on the intriguing events that spurred disruptions across the Multiverse.

These ruptures in the fabric of reality led to the unexpected migration of Spider-Man's nemeses from one universe to another.

In this exciting chapter, a character inspired by the Renaissance era, the Vulture, voiced masterfully by The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone, makes a surprising entrance into Spider-Gwen's domain, Earth-65.

Arriving just in time to aid Gwen, Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) and Jessica Drew delve into the heart of the mystery surrounding the Vulture's unexpected appearance.

Drawing from the narrative trajectory of Spider-Verse 2, it becomes evident that the events unfolding in Into the Spider-Verse were instrumental in teleporting Michael Keaton's Vulture into Sony's Marvel universe.

This adds credibility to Vulture's assertion that his arrival in this new universe "has something to do with Spider-Man."

This particular aspect of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse narrative adeptly rectifies the inconsistencies stemming from Michael Keaton's Vulture's sudden appearance in the post-credits scene of Morbius.

In doing so, the sequel also tackles a significant concern raised by fans regarding the undermining of the MCU by Morbius, primarily attributed to its ostensible misinterpretation of the workings of No Way Home's spell.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has ignited intrigue by unveiling a potential nexus between its inaugural film and the puzzling post-credits sequence in Morbius. This could potentially point toward the intended trajectory of Sony's Marvel universe.

The final sequence in Morbius witnesses Vulture striving to co-opt Morbius into a plot against Spider-Man, presumably driven by a quest for revenge from his accidental displacement into this unique universe.

This act has fuelled conjectures about a likely formation of a formidable alliance - the Sinister Six, a strategic move that Sony seems to be advancing towards.

This surmise corresponds with earlier reports that indicated Sony's ambitious long-term objective of establishing the "Sinister Six."

The anticipated Sinister Six ensemble could include formidable characters such as Tom Hardy's Venom, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter, and Chameleon, already an affirmed character in Kraven's solo movie, along with Morbius and Vulture.

Anticipation is high for unveiling this ominous alliance's final member. The revelation could take audiences by surprise, as Sony might introduce this villain from an alternate universe.

As we anticipate the gradual seepage of the ripple effects of the Spider-Verse films into the live-action realm, one can only hope that the upcoming revelations will heighten the excitement surrounding the Spider-Man series.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse continues to captivate audiences in theaters worldwide.
