A new rumor claims Sony wants to include Tom Hardy’s Venom in the third Spider-Man film with Tom Holland.
Despite a negative reception from critics, Tom Hardy’s Venom grossed an impressive $855 million at the worldwide box office and it appears Sony is now eager to have the fan-favorite anti-hero cross paths with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. According to Twitter user Roger Wardell, Sony “desperately” wants to include Tom Hardy’s Venom in the third Spider-Man film with Tom Holland, another joint production with Marvel Studios.
The Twitter user also alleges that while a previous rumor suggested Marvel and Sony were considering adding Deadpool to the third Tom Holland Spider-Man film, Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth will instead have his own films without showing up in the main MCU projects, much like the character’s relationship with the main X-Men movies. While this may seem like a questionable source, the Twitter user posted accurate Avengers: Endgame spoilers months before the film hit theaters.
There are no plans to add Deadpool in an MCU Spider-Man 3, but Sony desperately wants Tom Hardy's Venom in this movie. Deadpool had his own movies but never showed up in the main X-Men films, it will be the same for the MCU.

Veteran X-Men producer Simon Kinberg makes his directorial debut with Dark Phoenix in addition to producing the film with Hutch Parker, Lauren Schuler Donner and Todd Hallowell. Dark Phoenix is expected to be Fox's final X-Men film featuring the core X-Men cast in the cinematic universe launched by director Bryan Singer in 2000 with the Disney-Fox merger now complete.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, and Jessica Chastain. Here's the film's synopsis:
“This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.”
Dark Phoenix is set to hit theaters on June 7, 2019. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the X-Men.
