WARNING! Spoilers ahead for All-New Venom #5
Mary Jane Watson Takes an Unexpected Leap: Marrying Venom
Spider-Man’s life has taken a dramatic turn as recent developments in the All-New Venom series reveal Mary Jane Watson preparing to tie the knot with Venom. This unexpected twist sees Mary Jane emerging as the latest host for the Venom symbiote, prompting Marvel to showcase this unconventional relationship in striking ways, including a marriage announcement that no one saw coming.
This cover not only illustrates their marriage but also humorously portrays an unlikely coupling, with Mary Jane taking a significant step away from Spider-Man’s shadow and embracing her bond with one of his iconic adversaries.
Mary Jane’s Bold New Chapter with Venom
A Nod to Classic Spider-Man Lore
The All-New Venom #7 variant art cleverly pays homage to the iconic The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 cover from 1987, where Peter Parker and Mary Jane celebrated their own marriage. While that original ceremony was a joyous occasion, it has since been overshadowed by the controversial One More Day arc, which dismantled their relationship. Mary Jane’s latest chapter sees her moving on from Spider-Man and embracing her connection with Venom, marking a significant shift in her narrative.
It’s important to note that Mary Jane’s relationship with Venom isn’t purely a traditional marriage. Rather, their bond symbolizes a deep connection between host and symbiote, with the wedding imagery serving as a metaphor for their entwinement. Whether seen as a blessing or a curse, Mary Jane finds herself intertwined with Venom, creating a compelling twist on her character’s journey.

As Spider-Man and Mary Jane’s previous marriage remains a thing of the past, fans can’t help but cling to the hope of their reunion, even amidst other relationships. However, Mary Jane appears to be committed to her new path alongside Venom, suggesting a profound transformation in her character arc. While the details of their bond are still unfolding, it’s evident that Mary Jane’s alliance with Venom is significant enough to generate buzz—and perhaps concern—for Spider-Man, who finds himself left behind once again.
Scheduled for release on June 4th, 2025, All-New Venom #7 promises to delve deeper into this fascinating narrative, while All-New Venom #5 is already available from Marvel Comics, providing readers with the latest happenings in this unorthodox storyline.
