In an electrifying revelation at Comic-Con, Tom Hardy shared his enthusiasm for a potential showdown with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in Venom: The Last Dance, set to hit theaters on October 25, 2024. As Hardy prepares to reprise his role as Eddie Brock, the human host of the iconic symbiote, he expressed a strong desire to take on the web-slinger, stating, “I would love to fight Spider-Man. I’m happy to fight Spider-Man today, 100 percent.” This third installment marks the conclusion of Hardy’s trilogy, yet fans are left wondering if a crossover between Venom and Spider-Man might still be in the cards, especially with hints of future symbiote-centric stories teased by the film’s team.
Tom Hardy Eager for a Spider-Man Showdown
Tom Hardy, the actor behind Eddie Brock and Venom, has expressed his enthusiasm for a face-off against Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Speaking at Comic-Con, Hardy mentioned, “I would love to fight Spider-Man. I’m happy to fight Spider-Man today, 100 percent.” Fans of both characters have long awaited this showdown, though Venom has yet to cross paths with Spider-Man in his own standalone films. Hardy’s declaration has stirred excitement and speculation about a potential crossover in future projects.
Although “Venom: The Last Dance” marks the final film in the Venom trilogy, Hardy’s desire for a confrontation with Spider-Man leaves the door open for future possibilities. Both characters share a complex relationship in the Marvel Universe, and a cinematic battle would surely be a major event for fans. As Hardy puts it, “I would never say never,” sparking hope that this iconic battle could still be realized.
Future Symbiote Stories and Knull’s Introduction
While Tom Hardy’s trilogy as Eddie Brock may be coming to an end, the introduction of Knull in the upcoming film hints at a broader symbiote storyline. Knull, the evil creator of symbiotes, was briefly seen in the trailer for “Venom: The Last Dance,” seated on a black throne with his signature long, white hair. This marks Knull’s first appearance in the Venom cinematic universe, exciting fans who are familiar with his significance from the comics.
Kelly Marcel, one of the film’s creatives, emphasized that Knull’s role is just beginning. “This is just the introduction to Knull,” Marcel explained at Comic-Con, teasing that the character’s journey is far from over. While Eddie Brock’s story may close with this film, the symbiote universe has plenty of potential, and Knull’s brief cameo could be the beginning of a larger arc for future films.
