Tom Hardy posted an image of Venom eating Tom Holland’s Spider-Man on Instagram which he has since deleted.
Today has been an absolutely bonkers day for fans of Tom Hardy’s Venom as the film’s sequel has received both a new subtitle and a new release date. To celebrate the brand new release date, Hardy took to Instagram to share a brand new logo for the sequel, dubbed Let There Be Carnage. After posting the teaser, the Venom star posted a picture of the titular character eating Spider-Man. Soon after, the image of Spider-Man being eaten was removed from Hardy’s profile, leading many fans to speculate that the image featured and was directed to Tom Holland, the MCU’s Spider-Man.
While the picture Tom Hardy posted may have been deleted, the image of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man being eaten was captured by numerous fans and shared on Twitter, which you can check out below.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man being included in Sony’s Spider-Man universe has been quite the contentious topic. The character was teased in the trailer for Sony’s Morbius, which is technically in the same universe as Tom Hardy’s Venom. It has also been previously implied that Holland’s Spider-Man would appear in future Venom films, but nothing has truly been revealed at this moment.
It’s quite odd that Tom Hardy would post a picture of Venom eating Spider-Man, especially considering the sequel’s main villain is Woody Harrelson’s Carnage. The picture being deleted by the star makes the entire ordeal all the more intriguing. Only time will tell what this image is alluding to and if Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be appearing in Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
