Venom may be Sony property at the minute, but that doesnt mean he cant join all his Marvel buddies/enemies to give thanks.

Robert Downey Jr has celebrated Thanksgiving by sharing a Venom/Avengers crossover cartoon – and while it may be full of superheroes, its pretty relatable to anyone who has a family member that ruins every dinner occasion.

I.e. everybody.

The animated pic saw Spider-man, Iron Man, Black Widow, Ms Marvel, Captain America, Black Panther and Captain Marvel gathered around the table, with a miniature Ant-Man and The Wasp chilling out next to the salt and pepper shakers.

Unfortunately, Venom ruined the holiday meal by slobbering all over the turkey that his enemy Spider-man was trying to carve.

Goddammit, Venom.

Robert – who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU – captioned the image: Happy Thanksgiving all! Hoping your turkeys are slobber-free.

Not only is Thanksgiving a day we should all be thankful for the impending Avengers 4 trailer (seriously, guys, where is it), but both Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk) and Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow) celebrate their birthdays on Thanksgiving – so its nice Rob marked the day with an MCU reference.

And this drawing is much nicer than what he used to celebrate Halloween – sharing a super-grim recreation of Spider-mans transformation into dust made from pumpkins.

While Venom, played by Tom Hardy, wont be in Avengers 4 – hes part of the Sony Marvel Universe, as opposed to the MCU – the whole gang will hopefully reunite in the franchise finale, despite half of them being killed in the Thanos snap at the end of Infinity War.

A fan theory suggests time travel, by way of the Quantum Realm, will be used to bring our heroes back from the dust.

Avengers 4 is out in April 2019.
