Tom Hardy on Unmade Venom-Spider-Man Crossover

Tom Hardy has revealed that a crossover film between Venom and Spider-Man came very close to happening, but ultimately did not materialize due to studio politics. Hardy, who starred as Eddie Brock/Venom, expressed that the crossover would have been significant for younger fans, who often question why their favorite characters aren't together in films. Despite the crossover being a missed opportunity, Hardy enjoyed his time playing Venom and acknowledged the constraints set by studio agreements. The character of Venom, originally a Spider-Man villain, has been a standout in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, which has now reportedly concluded with 'Venom: The Last Dance.' The possibility of a crossover was teased in 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' but ultimately left unresolved.
