During Venom: The Last Dance's final battle, there was a brief mention of a soldier called "Thompson" who appeared to have his legs bitten off by a rampaging Xenomorph.

We've heard that the plan was for Venom 4 to be an Agent Venom movie with a new lead, with the threequel's post-credits scene strongly hinting that the Symbiote had survived. However, the movie only did so-so numbers at the box office and, when Kraven the Hunter flopped, Sony abandoned its slate of spin-offs (for now, at least).

In the comics, Flash Thompson lost his legs while fighting for the U.S. Army in the Middle East. The military later bonded him with the Venom Symbiote - giving him his legs back, in the process - but only for limited amounts of time, lest he risk being permanently bonded to the alien.

Tony Revolori plays Flash in the MCU, having previously bullied Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home (before idolising the web-slinger, and by extension, Peter, in Spider-Man: No Way Home).

Talking to The Direct about his new movie, Marshmallow, Revolori shared his thoughts on the possibility of potentially becoming Agent Venom in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

"Yeah, you know, look, I've read the comics that everyone's read. I would be really, really f-ing excited to do something like that. That would be really cool. I have no idea what or if or when or maybe, and we'll see," the actor said. "Look, the hope is to do it, the dream is to do it. And we'll see if it ever happens."

"And if it doesn't," Revolori added, "they're making great shit regardless that I will watch over and over and over again, and I'm just happy to have been a part of it."

While we're not banking on the Spider-Man trilogy actor getting the chance to suit up as Agent Venom, there are rumours that Spider-Man: Brand New Day or one of the upcoming Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars, will give Peter his alien costume.

Tom Holland wasn't in Las Vegas for Sony's CinemaCon presentation earlier this month because he's currently shooting Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. However, the actor did appear via video message to share some insights into what fans can expect.

"I am so sorry I can’t be with you," he told those in attendance. "I am halfway around the world shooting a movie. I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of 'No Way Home,' so 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say."

Spider-Man 4 has been officially dated for July 31, 2026, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton helming a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

"Now this, THIS is what the MCU needs right now!!!!" - No one. Ever.

There is no way this guy can pull off Agent Venom sorry. Same way as Ned wouldn't work as Hobgoblin in this universe. The actor choices literally block them from doing so. Only way would be using the multiverse or to have another character suit up.

bkmeijer1 - 4/25/2025, 6:06 AM

@Urubrodi - I think it can work with both to be honest. All they need to do is bulk up a bit and get a new haircut, which should be easy with Hollywood money.

Urubrodi - 4/25/2025, 6:35 AM

@bkmeijer1 - I think it's more than just getting fit. I really can't see them embodying an anti-hero and villain. Of course there is always the chance they might end up surprising everyone but these characters don't seem to fit them, at least based on the types of roles they have done up to this point.

bkmeijer1 - 4/25/2025, 6:40 AM

@Urubrodi - yeah, I see your point. As long as they give it time so it doesn't feel abrupt like with the Power Broker, I think it can work

So dumb Feige must be about pay the Russos for three local spin offs of this for each State of the india and Pakistán

Killuminatic - 4/25/2025, 6:42 AM

@Malatrova15 - He’s neither Indian or Pakistani you moron

Matador - 4/25/2025, 8:01 AM

@Malatrova15 @Killuminatic - Anthony Quinonez, a Guatemalan American actor Born Anthony Quiñónez, he adopted "Revolori", the surname of his paternal grandmother.

As funny as he seemed in the movies he definitely did not have the bully version of Flash Thompson unlike the Sam Raimi version but was a minor character in general.

dragon316 - 4/25/2025, 9:01 AM

@Matador - he play almost opposite rich less bully of flash verbally bull Parker not physically

Malatrova15 - 4/25/2025, 9:23 AM

@Killuminatic - hey... Be civil.. Dont call me that again... Follow si te rules or stop being a person of talkative prooerties

elgaz - 4/25/2025, 5:55 AM

He's the slightly antagonistic comedy relief in a few mins of each Spiderman movie. Can't see him playing any kind of supervillain or superhero.

bkmeijer1 - 4/25/2025, 6:05 AM

I would actually prefer Flash getting the symbiote instead of Eddie again. We've seen that story twice now. And no need to make it stand-alone, otherwise Spider-Man never gets to face Venom.

JurassicClunge - 4/25/2025, 6:06 AM

Please no!

MyCoolYoung - 4/25/2025, 6:33 AM

With the multiverse stuff, maybe he'll get the chance, but I don't see it.

AC1 - 4/25/2025, 6:34 AM

Yeah I can't see this version of Flash becoming Agent Venom. I get what they were going for in making this version of Flash a different type of bully to Peter rather than the old school big meathead jock archetype and instead leaning into the kind of bullying that happens today, but in doing that they've changed like 90% of who the character was on the page and it just feels like this version can't go down that path.

Think they'd

AC1 - 4/25/2025, 6:35 AM

@AC1 - *think they'd either have to go all multiverse with it if they want any version of Flash as Agent Venom, or otherwise just have a different character become Agent Venom (like how in the games Harry basically started as Agent Venom before becoming the more traditional Venom)

TheVisionary25 - 4/25/2025, 6:41 AM

That’s a good attitude to have I think…

Anyway , I thought Revolori’s reimagined version of Flash was fine given that Midtown became a more STEM-focused school in this iteration so made sense he wouldn’t be a jock type character but moreso an intellectual rival for Peter or a smug rich kid whose parents bought his way into the school.

However I can’t really see him as Agent Venom so I hope and honestly don’t think it will happen nor will we get the symbiote I think for awhile in this universe since they would likely want some distance from the SUMC films imo.

I do think it would be cool though to flesh him out further in the future such as the seeds we got in FFH about his neglectful home life which causes him to be the attention seeker he is in these films etc.

AC1 - 4/25/2025, 8:46 AM

@TheVisionary25 - Completely agree, and tbh not every supporting character needs to become a superhero or supervillain anyway. These stories need a human element to keep them grounded and relatable. Tbh I'd much rather see this version of Flash, if he comes back in future films, go through a redemption arc where he just learns to overcome the attitudes and insecurities his family life has left him with and, if people end up remembering Peter at some point in the future, becoming a genuine friend to him. He doesn't need to have the military career and the symbiote and the stuff he had in the comics and it doesn't make sense for this version of the character.

Hell, I'd rather this version got involved with FEAST instead, as a way of taking his admiration for Spider-Man and paying it forward in a way where he's using his position of privilege (because he's clearly from a wealthy family in the MCU) and using that to try and help others out in a much more human way. If we then see Peter and Spider-Man getting more involved with FEAST as well (like in the games for example) it could give a character like Flash an interesting dynamic where even if he doesn't relearn that Peter and Spider-Man are the same person he could develop a unique kind of working friendship with each of them individually.

TheVisionary25 - 4/25/2025, 9:07 AM

@AC1 - that would be really cool!!.

RaddRider - 4/25/2025, 7:28 AM

Nope

They always want to take extreme liberties with these characters until it comes to the cool stuff. No they want to be so damn different all the time and decided to pick a nerdy kid to play Flash so then let his character work at the DMV and call him DMV Venom

AllsNotGood - 4/25/2025, 8:02 AM

Please god no

HashTagSwagg - 4/25/2025, 8:32 AM

He's worse than Jesse's Lex Luthor level of bad casting, sure you could dye his hair blonde and get him to hit the gym for the next 10 years but none of that would help. Their dipiction of Flash is just so off base that they'd be better off just using an entirely new character or pulling in the Flash from Tobey or Garfield's world. Noones going to buy that guy as flash, the same way no one buyed that midget in Captain Falcon taking down a hallway full of trained soldiers.

BlackStar25 - 4/25/2025, 8:41 AM

Eh? Can't see it. The path they chose for the version of Flash does not lend itself well to Agent Venom

PC04 - 4/25/2025, 9:31 AM

Absolutely-the[frick]-not. It wouldn't even make sense for that weasely version of the character.
