The Venom trilogy has been a huge hit in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU), and with the upcoming release of Venom: The Last Dance, fans are eagerly asking one question: will Tom Holland’s Spider-Man make an appearance?
With Spider-Man: No Way Home connecting various universes, rumors are flying about a possible showdown or team-up between Spider-Man and Venom. So, what do we know so far?
Recently, Tom Hardy attended an event in Mexico to promote Venom: The Last Dance. When asked directly if Spider-Man would be involved, Hardy played it cool, neither confirming nor denying.
He teased fans by saying,
“Will we ever meet Spider-Man? You know… there are always possibilities.”
This cryptic response has only fueled further speculation.
Could Tom Holland appear in Venom 3?
While there's no official word, it's a real possibility. Fans are hopeful, especially since Holland's next Spider-Man movie (Spider-Man 4) won’t arrive until 2026. This final Venom film could set the stage for a crossover, and the idea of seeing Tom Holland and Tom Hardy share the screen is thrilling.
There's also speculation that Spider-Man 4 might feature a team-up between Spider-Man and Venom, facing off against Knull, the god of symbiotes. If true, Venom 3 could be a prelude to that storyline. Though nothing is confirmed, it's an exciting prospect for fans of both characters.
Rumors suggest Knull's introduction could be connected to the MCU, thus paving the way for a future Spider-Man and Venom alliance.
If Spider-Man appears in Venom 3, it might be as a setup for this larger narrative. Even if Tom Holland doesn’t appear in Venom 3, his Spider-Man could still cross paths with Venom in future MCU films, especially as the multiverse theme continues to expand.
As Holland gears up for other Marvel projects, like the rumored Avengers: Doomsday, his Spider-Man will likely remain a key player in the MCU’s plans.
Tom Hardy on Venom’s future
Regarding Venom’s future, Tom Hardy has said this will be his last time playing the character, calling it the “Last Dance.” Fans are sad to see him go, but are optimistic that this final film will give Venom the epic conclusion he deserves. Whether or not Spider-Man shows up, Hardy’s performance is sure to make Venom 3 a must-watch.
The idea of Spider-Man and Venom finally meeting on the big screen has fans excited. Their rich comic book history, combined with the potential for thrilling action scenes and dramatic storytelling, has created immense hype for Venom: The Last Dance. While there’s no confirmation yet, the speculation alone has fans more excited than ever.
Regardless, whether Tom Holland’s Spider-Man shows up or not, the final chapter of the Venom trilogy is shaping up to be an action-packed, unforgettable ride.
