Tom Hardy, who has brought the iconic anti-hero Venom to life on the big screen, has once again expressed his desire to face off against Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man in a future Marvel movie.
While ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ marks the end of his solo Venom trilogy, Hardy remains open to the possibility of reprising the role. Additionally, the actor wants to engage in a showdown with the web-slinger.

Hardy praised Tom Holland’s portrayal of Spider-Man, calling him “the best Spider-Man that was ever played.” He expressed his admiration for Holland’s talent and his desire to collaborate with him on a future project. “I’m really fond of him. I think he’s a great actor and a great kid,” he added.
A Venom vs Spider-Man, while far-fetched, has been on the minds of both actors for a while. Even Tom Holland expressed his desire to battle against Hardy’s venom. Additionally, with the expansion of the MCU and the increasing interconnectedness of its various franchises, a crossover is very feasible.
Hardy himself has acknowledged that the possibility exists. While he may not be able to provide any concrete details, he has hinted that the idea is not off the table. Moreover, his enthusiasm for the matchup is infectious. However, fans can only hope that their dream comes true.

However, Hardy’s comments put those theories to rest. There seems to be no Spider-Man in Venom’s current reality. Additionally, it’s unlikely Garfield would be interested in solely joining the SSU after his MCU debut in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’.
With Hardy’s dream opponent named and the Garfield theory squashed, fans can now focus on the exciting possibility of a Venom vs. Holland’s Spider-Man. Whether it happens in a future Spider-Man movie or a potential crossover project, one thing is certain: it would be an unforgettable cinematic experience.
