The last time
Sony planned to build a shared mythology out from Spider-Man the entire thing imploded in the aftermath of
The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, tentative plans have been in place for a while to tie all of Sony's comic book properties together, and in May of last year it was announced that the franchise would be known as the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, or SPUMC to save time. In a move that signals what the studio's endgame is, the SPUMC has now been officially rebranded as Sony's Spider-Man Universe, so we can all expect
Tom Holland's Peter Parker to cross paths with
Tom Hardy's Venom eventually.
Holland's contract with Sony and Marvel expires after
No Way Home, so we can pretty much guarantee at this point that the next batch of negotiations will result in the actor jumping between the MCU and Sony's Spider-Man Universe, given that his character's name is right there in the branding.
