Tom Hardy still has some fight in him for Spider-Man! The Venom star reveals which of the actors to play the webhead he’d most like to face-off against on the silver screen.
With Tom Hardy’s time as Venom coming to a close, fans are disappointed that he never got a proper fight scene against any live-action version of Spider-Man. Some wanted him to be the main antagonist of one of Tom Holland’s films, while others wanted him to be Andrew Garfield’s big return as the wallcrawler in a solo film. However, it seems Hardy has his own opinions about which actor he’d like to square off with the most.
“Venom is just like a gorilla, isn’t he? He’ll do what he has to do. I think that would be good fun,” Hardy revealed when asked about how his character would fight Spider-Man by ExtraTV. “I think Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man that was ever played, so I’m really fond of him. I think he’s a great actor and a great kid. I’m an old man, but I’d like to work with him.”
Given Tom Holland is the actor currently playing the role of Spider-Man, it makes sense he’d be the one Tom Hardy would be the most gung-ho on fighting if push ever came to shove. However, with Venom: The Last Dance being the last Venom film he’ll be starring in, it’s not likely that he’ll have the chance to do so in a solo film. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t tussle in a team-up.
How Tom Hardy’s Venom Could Fight Spider-Man
One of the most surprising details to come out of the marketing for Venom: The Last Dance is that Knull will be making his live-action debut in the film. Many people believe this could mean Tom Hardy was being less than truthful that his time as Venom is coming to the end, with speculation mounting that a crossover film was in the works to serve as a true send-off for his time as the Lethal Protector.
This was bolstered by a rumor that Spider-Man 4 was set to adapt the King in Black storyline. Not only does that project feature Knull as a villain, but Venom as the main hero that saves the Marvel universe. Some believe that this could meant that Tom Hardy will come back for one final ride as the character, getting a send-off worthy of such a fantastic tenure.
Venom: The Last Dance opens in theaters on October 25, 2024. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Venom series and makes sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
