here has been ongoing speculation about the potential for Tom Hardy's portrayal of Venom to cross paths with Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Marvel and Sony appear to be crafting a narrative that could eventually lead to an epic showdown between these two beloved characters. A hint of this connection surfaced when Hardy's Venom made a brief appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only to be returned to his original world shortly after. Although there hasn’t been any significant development since that moment, Hardy remains eager for a confrontation.
During a recent event at New York Comic-Con for Venom: The Last Dance, the actor expressed his enthusiasm for a showdown with Spider-Man, addressing fans about his aspirations for the cinematic universe. He enthusiastically conveyed, "I would relish the chance to take on Spider-Man. I am ready for a duel today, absolutely. I wouldn't rule anything out. We were specifically set up to transition Venom into a film format, and we believe we’ve successfully achieved that. 'The Last Dance' serves as the concluding chapter of this trilogy, and we are genuinely thrilled about it."
However, a major obstacle in witnessing these characters clash lies in Hardy’s notion that he may be nearing the end of his journey as Venom. The actor frequently refers to The Last Dance as the final installment, indicating he may soon step away from the role of the notorious symbiote. Despite this, many fans are likely wondering if they would like to witness these iconic characters confront one another in a cinematic experience.
