ASpider-ManandVenomMCU crossover is long overdue, especially since a copy of The Daily Bugle was spotted inLet There Be Carnage’s trailer. However, a new possible leak suggests the newspaper’s famed editor J. Jonah Jameson could also be showing up inSony’sVenomsequel.
Even from the beginnings ofSam Raimi’sSpider-Mantrilogy, it was obvious Simmons was perfect to play J. Jonah Jameson. Since Peter Parker and Eddie Brock have at times worked for the same man, Simmons could be fortunate enough to appear in everySpider-Manfilm universe there is. Considering the waySpider-Man: Far From Homeended, Simmons’ return forNo Way Homeeven seems all but confirmed and it appears the MCU film won’t be the only project where fans can expect to see his surly character.

Recently, Twitter user @knight99_death cleverly spotted Simmons’ name on the movie listing posted on the site for British cinema chain Vue, which just happened to be sitting there alongside the rest ofVenom: Let There Be Carnage’s stars. This great find was shared by the @spidermanworrld account, where the posted image shows Simmons and his acting credits named alongside Michelle Williams (Anne Weying) and Naomie Harris (Shriek).
At the time of writing, Vue’s site still contains the safe info that was posted in the tweet, sending Spider-Man and Venom fans into a J. Jonah Jameson type of screaming frenzy over the potential ramifications this could have for the MCU. Regardless of that,Venom 2director Andy Serkishas stated in the past thatLet There Be Carnagedoes not take place in the same universe as Marvel Studios’ MCU.
In case Simmons does achieve the Spider-Verse trifecta, it will be more interesting to speculate on what kind of J. Jonah Jameson he’ll be this time around, as both his newspaper editor flat top-rocking version and his MCU baldingInfowarsvariants each have their unique charm. As if that wasn’t enough,Tom Hardy is rumored to appear inMorbiusalongside Michael Keaton, so producers and screenwriters are clearly having a Spidey-themed field day.
In any case, anyone excited over the prospect of seeing Simmons inVenom: Let There Be Carnagewill have to wait just a little bit longer given the film’s recent delay. If this news proves to be nothing more than an honest mistake from the British company, it’s not as if Simmons will be out of work since his Commissioner Gordon has been given the green light to return inBatgirlover at DC’s camp.
Venom: Let There Be Carnagewill premiere in theaters on June 28, 2025.
