With the fourthSpider-Manfilm confirmed to be in development, rumors have emerged claiming that Venom might make his appearance known in the MCU. Although nothing can’t be said for certain as of now, and we will have to wait until something official comes from Marvel or Sony, this hasn’t stopped fans from picking their favorite choice for Eddie Brock.
While fans are imploring for Alan Ritchson to get cast as DCU’s Batman, now Marvel fans have shared their desire to see him play Brock in the upcoming installment of theSpider-Manseries.
Fans See Alan Ritchson Fit to Play MCU’s Eddie Brock
WithTom Hardyset to bid goodbye to Venom afterThe Last Dance, there’s a good chance that the rumors regarding Venom appearing in the nextSpider-Manflick might’ve some weight to them. However, it can’t be said for sure if the MCU will introduce Eddie Brock into the mix, especially after Hardy, who has been the best thing that happened to Sony’s cinematic universe.
But ifKevin Feigedoes opt to bring the character to the MCU, fans believe Alan Ritchson can be the perfect fit for a comic-accurate Brock following his physical stature.

If we ever got to see their mcu variants then I think Alan Ritchson as Venom and Matthew Lillard as Carnage would be a great choice.pic.twitter.com/WpZYxdnwKh

Before Brock, fans have also showcased their desire to see Alan Ritchson play Batman inJames Gunn‘s DCU, especially because of his 6.3 ft stature and his resemblance to Arkham Batman.
Factors Going Against Alan Ritchson’s Batman Casting
Thanks to Amazon’s adaptation of Lee Child’sReachernovels, Alan Ritchson has risen to immense popularity in recent years. But while the actor himselfhas showcased interest in playing Batmanfor the DCU, a few factors are going against him. Even though theFast Xstar’s physical build makes him perfectly adequate for the caped crusader, dramatic prowess is the main key to landing Batman.

From Michael Keaton to Christian Bale and now Robert Pattinson, most Batman actors are known for excelling in the dramatic department following the depth involved in the character. So it’ll be interesting to see if Ritchson bears the dramatic chops required to nail the part if it ever comes to auditioning for DCU’s Caped Crusader.
Another factor that may hinder his chance to jump into the MCU or DCU is his commitment toReacher, as Ritchsonstressedhe’ll continue to play the character as long his“body will allow”.
I owe it to the audience to explore as many of these books as my body will allow, and I owe it to the people that took a shot on me when I was a huge risk for them. They have given me a real career.
Moreover, considering that Sony has already done Eddie Brock, whose story is set to conclude with theVenomthreequel, it’s possible that the MCU might ignore Brock’s character altogether.
