‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Star Tom Hardy Eager to Join the MCU—But Not as Venom

As a long-time fan who’s witnessed Tom Hardy‘s transformative portrayal of Venom, I can’t help but feel a tinge of melancholy as we approach the release of Venom: The Last Dance. However, with the prospect of Knull and other symbiotes gracing the MCU, coupled with Hardy’s expressed enthusiasm for joining the universe in another role, there’s an undercurrent of excitement that refuses to be quelled.


In a matter of days, “Venom: The Last Dance” is set to debut worldwide, signifying a major achievement for the SSU. This movie symbolizes the conclusion of an era not only for Venom and Eddie but also for Tom Hardy’s portrayal of the character, as it has been confirmed that this is the concluding chapter in the series.

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I’m thrilled to share that latest news suggests Knull and other symbiotes are poised for a crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Moreover, Tom Hardy himself has shown great enthusiasm about rejoining the MCU, expressing his desire to embody another character.

As a reminder, both Eddie and Venom are now part of the MCU canon following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. A fragment of the symbiote was left behind when Eddie returned to his original universe, and it appears that Venom: The Last Dance will delve deeper into this detail.

At the New York Comic Con during the Venom 3 discussion, Tom Hardy expressed his wish to engage in a fight with Spider-Man. He enthusiastically declared, “I’d be thrilled to battle Spider-Man. I’m ready to take him on right now, without a doubt!” Additionally, he mentioned that while nothing is set in stone, he and the team have successfully brought Venom to the big screen, with The Last Dance marking the conclusion of this trilogy, and they are eagerly looking forward to it.

This news is incredibly heartening, given the positive response from fans towards Hardy’s interpretation of Venom. Although his time as Venom seems to be winding down, it’s worth noting that Hardy himself has expressed interest in reprising the role, possibly as another character.

When queried about which Spider-Man could lure him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hardy unequivocally stated it was Tom Holland’s portrayal. Furthermore, he revealed his enthusiasm not only for embodying this character but also for engaging in battles alongside other characters.

Hardy: If we’re talking about playing the role, I’d love to portray different Marvel characters.
CB: To clarify, when it comes to Venom fighting them.
Hardy: Oh, I’m game for taking on any opponent, regardless of who they are.

CB: Venom Incredible Hulk, let’s do it
Hardy: Yeah, even him.
