Now, the extended cut's post-credits scene has confirmed the mind-wipe also took care of all of that evidence by not-so-subtly hiding Spider-Man's existence. However, the manner in which Peter's erasure from society was achieved seemingly teases the possibility of Strange's spell being undone in future storylines.
The No Way Home Venom screentime was limited to the brief post-credits scene. To rub salt in the wound, the Tom Hardy No Way Home cameo ended with Venom getting teleported back out of the MCU (though it did leave a slither of Symbiote material behind).
The Venom 2 post-credits scene appears to depict Eddie being transported across the multiverse from his original setting into the MCU. That's why everything in the room changes so much, and why Spider-Man's on the screen.
Combining with the nearby Brock, the symbiote shared his hatred for Spider-Man, as well as mentally sharing with Brock its former host's secret identity of Peter Parker. From there, the two would be known as Venom, seeking violent retribution against the man who had wronged both of them.
Venom became one of Spider-Man's toughest and merciless foes of all time, often bringing him close to death. Venom's become somewhat of an anti-hero, wrestling with his morals and even fighting for good alongside Spider-Man.
The idea was to make everyone forget Peter Parker's connection to Spider-Man. But the spell goes haywire. As a result, beings with direct knowledge of Peter's secret identity from across the multiverse are pulled in. Tom Hardy's Venom hasn't ever met Peter in person.
Basically, the symbiote didn't attempted to talk with Peter because it wanted to remain loyal and obedient like a servant. It didn't felt the need to talk to him, only to serve him.
Hardy will reprise his role as Eddie Brock in the Sony sequel. Tom Hardy is gearing up for another symbiote season! In an Instagram post, the actor shared a behind-the-scenes video from a previous Venom movie.
Those hungry for more of San Francisco's resident anti-hero will be delighted to know that Venom (Tom Hardy) will be returning once again for Venom 3, and the third film in Sony's flagship Spider-Man villain universe is making some pretty significant changes to the hit series.
Eddie and Venom were brought into the MCU after the symbiote offered Eddie "a taste" of the symbiote hive mind's collective knowledge. They see Peter's identity being revealed on television and somehow recognize the wall crawler, even though he doesn't exist in the Venom movie universe.

After serving alongside other criminals in Osborn's Thunderbolts, Venom was promoted to the Avengers roster... with former Scorpion Mac Gargan using the symbiote's powers to masquerade as Spider-Man.
Directed by Andy Serkis, Venom: Let There Be Carnage reunites audiences with Brock and his extra-terrestrial buddy as the journalist attempts to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson), who becomes the host of an alien symbiote similar to Venom named Carnage.
The Foes of Venom
Eddie Brock's dislike of Peter Parker before he bonded with the symbiote translates into a deep love-hate relationship with Spider-Man, as Venom simultaneously wants to kill Spider-Man, but also re-bond with him.
Detective Mulligan's eyes light up blue in Venom: Let There Be Carnage because in this very (very) brief scene, it is implied that Mulligan has become the host to a new symbiote. The symbiote in this instance is Toxin – one of the many symbiotes from the Marvel Universe.
Feeling shunned, the symbiote bonds with Eddie Brock, as the pair become Venom through their shared hatred of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. In simple terms, Venom hates Spider-man because Peter Parker rejects the Symbiote.
In the final moments of the mid-credits scene, we see that a piece of the symbiote responsible for Venom actually separated from Eddie as he vanished, and landed on the bar. After a moment, we also see that it's very much still active, as it crawls off — presumably to find its MCU host.
Because Kasady is a deranged serial killer, they share a sadistic personality and their bond is stronger than that between Venom and Eddie, and Carnage increases Kasady's violent tendencies. Carnage, then, is more powerful, violent, and thus deadly than Venom, and became his archenemy in the comics.
While Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock/Venom does pop in the recent Marvel movie – albeit in a post-credits scene – it turns out there were more plans for appearances throughout the main events of No Way Home. Speaking to Empire, McKenna explained: "So Eddie Brock makes it to the MCU but he never makes it out of a bar.
A symbiote is only as strong as the bond that it shares with its host. With that in mind, Venom is the clear winner, having formed a number of strong bonds since making its debut back in issue 252 of The Amazing Spider-Man.
It's likely the most iconic suit that Spider-Man has worn throughout his history (aside from the original, of course). The Black Suit, otherwise known as the Symbiote Suit, is a living, breathing entity now known as the Venom Symbiote.
Venom later decided to absorb the Carnage symbiote "for good", during which Kasady retained the Carnage persona by costuming himself in red paint and continuing his killing sprees (albeit as a powerless human).
