‘Venom: The Last Dance’ May Be the Last Time We See Tom Hardy As Venom
Tom Hardyconfirmed shortly before the release ofVenom: The Last Dancethat it would behis final solo outing as the former reporter-turned-symbiotic alien. Still, he did mention thathe would love to face Spider-Man at some point in the SSU(Sony’s Spider-Man Universe). To many fans' dismay, Spider-Man himself has been noticeably absent from the SSU. While Hardy seems more than interested in facing off with the web-slinger, it seems Sony would prefer to focus more on the villains than the hero facing off against them.
