  1. > “We got close,” Hardy said about a crossover with Holland’s Spider-Man. “We got as close as I could possibly imagine getting, apart from doing a film together, which I would have loved to have done because that just means so much fun.”

    > “Fundamentally, for me, it would be for the kids,” Hardy added about why he wanted to do a Venom-Spider-Man project. “Because, you know, as much as adults love superhero films, as you can tell by the box office when they’re successful, I think I’m constantly reminded by children how important these characters are. And they don’t know why their favorite characters aren’t in films together.”

  2. That’s such a shame: I’m no fan of the Venom movies, but Tom Hardy played Eddie Brock well, and I always thought he could’ve thrived as the character in a better written/directed movie.

    Again, dislike those movies, but Tom Hardy clearly wasn’t the issue in any of them.

  4. Nah. This iteration of Venom was neutered as a character. In the Tom Hardy movies he’s some goofy self described loser. Not so much an anti hero but village idiot. Time for someone else to take a swing at Venom.

  5. The Last Dance was really good I thought. It was a fun movie and I loved the dynamic they had together. The multiple symbiote fight at the end was a banger

  8. This is the only thing that makes sense! As a huge fan of the comics I have to say it’s been weird seeing Venom as a standalone movie franchise. He needs Spider-Man. It just doesn’t work without him.

  9. How close? Like Tom Hardy was about to walk on screen and Amy Pascal tackled him down?

  10. Idk I actually liked the movies, a little more horror paced would have been better, but I enjoyed the eventual understanding and banter between Brock and venom

  11. I couldn’t get onboard with Tom’s character and his Venom, they’re too silly.

  12. I choose to believe it got close because no one told Kevin Feige

  13. Personally I’m glad it didn’t happen, because it would ruin the ability for the MCU to have an actually meaningful symbiote arc for Peter, the same way No Way Home ruined any prospect of bringing characters like Green Goblin or Doc Ock or Electro into the MCU because it blew the load with multiverse bullshit.
