Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> producer Amy Pascal<\/a> recently said she would still love to see a crossover between Tom Holland\u2019s web-slinger and Tom Hardy\u2019s Venom. Hardy has previously said<\/a> it nearly happened, but he was cagey about the specifics. Noted blabbermouth<\/a> Holland has no such compunction, though, and now we\u2019ve got more details about why, despite Holland appearing in the mid-credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Hardy appearing in the mid-credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the two characters never actually met.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused<\/a> podcast, Holland explained that, while there were conversations about merging the two universes, the timing just never worked out. \u201c[Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group CEO Tom] Rothman is a really smart guy. I think he was building this universe, and they had this plan to merge the worlds at some point, and I think that they just never found the right time to do so,\u201d said Holland. \u201cI think it was in the cards \u2026 It was like, one day this will happen, and like lots of things in the creative world, it just never came to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Holland said, things were going so well for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Spider-Man franchise that \u201c\u2026Tom and the guys at Sony just wanted us to continue on our path.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Holland closely echoed what MCU head Kevin Feige<\/a> said earlier this week\u2014\u201dAlways have hope\u201d\u2014about the potential for a Spider-Man and Venom face-off in the future. \u201cAnything could happen,\u201d said Holland. \u201cWho knows what the future of my Spider-Man looks like?\u201d<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters now.<\/p>\n
