Tom Hardy Just Set The Record Straight On Those Viral Comments About A Spider-Man And Venom Crossover

by

In 2024, Tom Hardy concluded his run as the lead in “Venom: The Last Dance”. Hardy has fondly reminisced about his time working on the comic book movie trilogy and often expressed a desire for Venom and Spider-Man to share screen time. Lately, he’s fueled speculation about a potential crossover between the two characters, leading many to believe such a project was imminent. However, Hardy has now clarified his previous comments on this hypothetical team-up.

What Did Tom Hardy Originally Say About Venom And Spider-Man?

Tom Hardy has expressed varying opinions regarding the prospect of his unconventional symbiote antihero meeting the well-known friendly superhero. In a recent interview, he provided insights on this topic when asked about it. Initially, he admitted to being unsure about answering the question, particularly considering his own children’s feelings towards the matter. Nevertheless, Hardy mentioned that at one time, a crossover movie almost became a reality.

In my humble opinion, this production came tantalizingly close to a collaboration I’ve long dreamt of – working side by side on a film project. Such an opportunity would undeniably have been a joyous and fulfilling experience, given the compelling points you so eloquently articulated throughout.

In a later interview, the actor who worked on Dunkirk hinted that behind-the-scenes studio dynamics may have played a role in the situation at hand. Following the initial interview’s release, some speculated that the project was still under development. This led the actor to share more information about it when asked in another recent conversation.

How Did Tom Hardy Clarify His Comments About The Supposed Crossover?

During his ongoing interviews for his latest show, “MobLand,” Tom Hardy was queried about his previous statements regarding a potential crossover by the Associated Press. Hardy clarified to the media outlet that his initial remarks were misunderstood by fans. He elaborated on the situation, stating:

“My comments were misconstrued by some fans. What I meant was…

In simpler terms, what I’ve shared is the truth. While I wish I had collaborated with ‘Spider-Man,’ it was never a reality. Now, I’m no longer associated with ‘Venom,’ which is unfortunate because my kids would enjoy seeing both characters together on screen. It would have been nice.

Over the last few years, Tom Hardy has shown different levels of excitement about combining iconic Marvel Comics characters in various ways. He’s even sparked fan excitement on several occasions by hinting at Venom and Spiderman collaborations on social media, only to later remove those posts. By the end of 2024, however, he carefully avoided discussing why these two franchises never merged, leading me to speculate if his cautiousness might have been due to concerns about his statements being misunderstood.

Despite the fact, it’s unfortunate that the most recent version of Eddie Brock, portrayed in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” hasn’t crossed paths with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Many hardcore fans had hoped for this encounter, and at this stage, it feels like a missed opportunity that it didn’t happen. The connections to the broader Spider-Verse in “The Last Dance” were sparse, which was underwhelming as well.

Presently, Tom Holland’s popular portrayal of Spider-Man is scheduled to appear in the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Fresh Start,” set to hit theaters in July 2026. It appears that Tom Hardy’s Eddie and Venom storyline has reached its conclusion, making a meeting between the two unlikely (unless there are unexpected plot twists in the forthcoming Avengers films). In the meantime, you can watch “Venom: The Final Act” on Netflix with a subscription.
