Tom Hardy, known for his iconic role as the alien symbiote Venom, recently set the record straight about a previous comment he made regarding the potential for a Spider-Man and Venom crossover. The actor, who\u2019s become synonymous with the character, clarified that he never claimed that a Venom-Spider-Man collaboration was nixed due to \u201cstudio politics.\u201d Instead, Hardy explained that his words were taken out of context, especially when talking about how his children would have loved to see the two superheroes team up on screen.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Hardy addressed the confusion, stating that his original comment was about explaining to his kids that their two favorite characters\u2014Venom and Spider-Man\u2014couldn\u2019t appear together in a film, and how that was disappointing. He explained, \u201cIt didn\u2019t happen, and that\u2019s the truth.\u201d While reflecting on his time working in the Spider-Man universe, he mentioned how close they came to making it happen, especially since he was already involved in the Spider-Man movie world, but ultimately, the collaboration never materialized.<\/p>\n Hardy clarified that there were no major behind-the-scenes politics stopping the crossover\u2014it simply \u201cdidn\u2019t happen.\u201d The actor was likely referring to Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> (2021), where he made a brief cameo in the post-credits scene as Eddie Brock, aka Venom. Despite the excitement around the possibility of a crossover, Hardy emphasized that it was just one of those things that didn\u2019t come together as planned.<\/p>\n As for the Venom<\/em> films, Hardy confirmed that the trilogy is now complete. The actor starred as Venom in three films: Venom<\/em> (2018), Venom: Let There Be Carnage<\/em> (2021), and Venom: The Last Dance<\/em> (2024), wrapping up his character\u2019s arc. Even though fans might still dream of a Spider-Man and Venom team-up, it\u2019s clear from Hardy\u2019s comments that the idea, though close, never officially made it to the big screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tom Hardy, known for his iconic role as the alien symbiote Venom, recently set the record straight about a previous\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":69206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[3904],"class_list":["post-69205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-tom-hardy"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
