Venom and Doctor Strange go all the way back
For the distant future, that is
Old Man Venom and Old Man Strange are the last hope for the futureAs surprising as that may sound. Together they send Dylan Brock to the past, making him look like the X-Men hero Cable. But the interesting part of this adventure is that they already knew each other as adults – now this version of Venom has to deal with a cockier, younger Strange and prove to him that he’s not a monster. And Strange plans to do just that.
A what if In the scenario, the two have already met — specifically because Marvel explored what would happen if Venom bonded with Doctor Strange. But in this world – or in the past, that is – They share a meeting of minds where they know the deepest secrets of each other’s minds. Looks like the Sorcerer Supreme and a so-called demon are about to become best friends.
Venom and Doctor Strange will save the future
The newest (and weirdest) team-up in Marvel Comics
Together, they journey to a distant realm to find not only Venom’s future but Chthon to save the world. Placing an alien symbiote alongside a magical wizard is a bold move by Marvel, and it showcases an interesting dynamic. Venom is constantly referred to as this monster, and as they embark on this adventure, the symbolism grows as Venom descends into more gruesome stories. Doctor Strange is no longer the only magical character. He seems to have friends.
As Venom dives into the world of magic, Doctor Strange dives into the future and gets a glimpse of what’s to come. Together, only they can stop the future in a way that will satisfy longtime comic fans and fans still waiting for the next MCU installment. Considering Marvel has already shown fans their friendship in the far future, for now here’s a new dynamic duo that no one expected – poison And The doctor is strange.

- The Venom symbiote is an alien organism that first bonds with Peter Parker (Spider-Man) during the “Secret Wars” storyline. After Parker rejected the symbiote, it found a new host in Eddie Brock, a disreputable journalist. The symbiote and Brock bond over their mutual hatred of Spider-Man, who becomes the anti-hero known as Venom. Over time, Venom has evolved from a villain to an anti-hero, often fighting other heroes to protect the innocent, though his methods remain brutal.
