It began with the post-credits scene at the end of the first game.
Intihar and Paquette are clear fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which popularized the use of post-credits scenes.
The Harry and symbiote scene would then serve a similar function to set the stage forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.

“The symbiote provides a lot of grist for that mill, so to speak.”
(It truly is the MCU of gaming.)
Other familiar Marvel characters, like Kraven the Hunter, will be popping up, as well.
According to Paquette, the story is about “what happens when that darkness takes over.”
It’s not just Peter who’s impacted by the symbiote.
“There’s a lot of juicy drama that we can get from that.”
The spider insignia is one of them.
“One of the challenges we had throughout production was, how much does [Venom] talk?”
“I remember we did some concepts early on [of] does Venom have lips?
“For us, Venom is the host plus the symbiote,” Intihar adds.
“You don’t get Venom without both of them being bonded together.
What Tony represents is that bond.
