Venom 4 rumors: Will Tom Hardy crossover with Tom Holland's Spider-Man?

Venom: The Last Danceis in theaters. The third installment in the Venom franchise arrives just a few days after Tom Holland went onThe Tonight Showand confirmed that there will be aSpider-Man 4. It is a good time to be a fan of the Spidey canon. But do these franchises have plans to connect at any point?

The seeds have definitely been planted.Spider-Man: No Way Home(2021) introduced the concept of Spidey being able to interact with characters from different universes.Venom: Let There Be Carnage, also released in 2021, ended with the titular antihero, Eddie Brock, accidentally slipping into Spidey's universe. At some point, these two seem destined to cross paths.

Hardy confirmed he's not involved withSpider-Man 4

Unfortunately, a Venom and Spider-Man crossover is not going to take place anytime soon. Fans have been pushing for a cameo by Hardy inSpider-Man 4, but the actor made it clear he does not have any involvement with the film during a recentAssociated Pressinterview.

"I don’t see him in the next Spider-Man movie," the actor noted. "Because I’d have the script and I don’t have that." This, of course, leaves the possibility open for a Spidey cameo inVenom 4. At least, it would, if Hardy had not already stated that he was done playing the character afterThe Last Dance.

The actor has also shut downVenom 4rumors

Tom HardytoldScreen Rantthat while he loves playing the dual character of Venom and Eddie Brock, he feels as though he maximized what he can do with with them in the new film. He referred toVenom: The Last Danceas a "kitchen sink" project, in that he got to do everything he wanted, and is proud of the way the titular character gets sent off:

"Everything in the kitchen sink that we wanted [to give] time allocated [is] in this movie... There's nothing left out. It's surgically chosen and delivered."

Sony and the MCU may have initially had plans to bring Venom and Spider-Man together, but given that Hardy has wrapped up his tenure as the former (at least for now), the chances of seeing them together are slim.

For those who want to stay optimistic, perhaps Hardy is pulling an Andrew Garfield and simply lying to the fans about his involvement. It's a fun thought, though not one we suggest putting much stock in.
