VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Star Tom Hardy Again Suggests He's Done After Threequel...But What About SPIDER-MAN 4?

In a couple of social media posts, Tom Hardy has strongly hinted that he's moving on from Eddie Brock after Venom: The Last Dance but what does that mean for all those Spider-Man 4 rumours? Check it out...

When the news broke that Tom Hardy would play Eddie Brock in Venom, it was received positively by fans. However, in place of the hardened reporter from the comics, the Lethal Protector became an unwilling goof dragged along for the ride by his alien suit. 

Hardy seemed to have fun in the role and, three years after Venom was released, we got Venom: Let There Be Carnage in 2021. Now, we're just weeks away from Venom: The Last Dance and the actor continues to say this will be his last time playing the character. 

Or is he? 

Taking to Instagram, Hardy said, "Thankyou for a great time - and 7 years. I’ve had the best experience @Sony working with Venom - this is me and the big guy last outing going out with a Bang!!! Come see us off - last in the trilogy and done ❤️ we have had such a great time Thankyou."

In a separate post, he added, "LAST ONE - THE BIGGEST BEST MOST FUN OF THEM ALL - IT’S Been an absolute joy bringing these two to the big screen - Thankyou for the good times and the support we hope you love it as much as we have making them."

This very much sounds like a farewell, but if you read his comments closely, it sounds more like Hardy is bidding farewell to Sony and the Venom franchise rather than the character as a whole. 

Maybe that's a bit of a stretch. However, with rumours swirling about Venom joining the MCU so he and Tom Holland's Peter Parker can battle Knull, God of the Symbiotes, it feels like Hardy is playing deliberately coy with Spider-Man 4 somewhere on the horizon.

If nothing else, Venom: The Last Dance being the final chapter of Eddie's story has become a key part of the threequel's marketing campaign and it seems Sony wants us to believe the anti-hero won't make it out of this story alive. 

When Knull does show up, we'd bet it's nearer the end of the movie because Marvel Studios has been heavily involved with his design and introduction (possibly explaining why reshoots have were taking place as recently as last month). 

In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance.

The movie stars Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, Stephen Graham, and Rhys Ifans. Kelly Marcel directs from a screenplay she wrote, based on a story by Hardy and Marcel. The film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy and Hutch Parker.

Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theaters on October 25.

@Malatrova15 - yeah sounds like he’s just trying to get people to come see the movie to me. There would be no reason for the next Spider-Man movie to use knull otherwise, but hey all these rumors on this site are probably wrong and we have no idea what’s happening in the world. Fake news!!

I really really hope the SPM4 rumors are false. Sony already jacked up symbiote Spidey with SPM3. There is a opportunity to have a proper black suite Spidey and I hope we get it.

@Steel86 - I agree

Given the state probably Hollands Peter is in now having lost everything , it’s the right time I feel for the symbiote

Steel86 - 10/2/2024, 11:06 AM
@TheVisionary25 - Exactly! Would be the perfect time to explore Peter's darker feelings. Another worry I have for SPM4 because I don't want what he went through in 3 to be just glossed over. First he lost May and then literally his entire life.

@Steel86 - agreed

I also hope they don’t bring back Ned and MJ anytime soon

Give it a movie or 2.

@TheVisionary25 - Given Zendaya's popularity it probably wouldn't be more than a movie. But yeah would love to see him juggle MJ and Gwen or Felicia. Seeing that on the big screen would be nice since the other two film versions just had the main love intrest. SPM3 had Gwen but that was really just to make MJ jealous. Peter never had any real interest.

We can only hope he does not return.

@DocSpock - i hope for a decisive victory of Israel over his enemies ...but dreams are just that

@Malatrova15 -

I hope for that too. And it will happen someday.

What most likely happens is the Venom Symbiote un-bonds from Tom Hardy, and in the post-credits scene, it bonds with someone else in the MCU, loosely transitioning into the MCU storyline

I think it's trickery. Last venom movie but not appearance
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/2/2024, 11:19 AM
@MyCoolYoung - I could see that

Hope it’s not Spidey 4 but moreso just a SUMC crossover film

Don’t mix Sony with Marvel please

@TheVisionary25 - you might have solved the dilemma. Please do this. The multiverse is open and nothing has to make sense. Movie can be called something else

Same with Garfield, I 100% expect them to return for a live-action Spider-Verse movie

Hardy really needs to run far away from this shitshow, and never look back.

It seems like he’s more with the role to me but I could (and most likely) am wrong…

While I haven’t been a fan of this take on Eddie & Venom , you can tell the amount of fun he has had playing both roles so good for him.

Them leaning on the more goofy side of Venom isn’t inherently a bad thing either since there’s precedent for it (I just think the execution has been sub par).

When he finished this can we please get a season 2 of "TABOO" already? Loved that show.
