During an interview with ComicBook.com, Tom Hardy shared whether he’d be open to reprising his role as Venom again. When asked if he would consider playing Venom only in a possible future crossover with Spider-Man, Hardy clarified that he wouldn’t limit himself to just that scenario and expressed his readiness to return for a standalone project too.

He expressed, “Yes, indeed, I’m a fan of Venom and enjoyed my work on it. So, no, I didn’t dislike the idea.” This isn’t the first time he’s hinted at a collaboration between his Venom and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. During an interview on The Discourse Podcast from The Playlist, he mentioned that a crossover almost happened but was hindered by studio politics. “We nearly reached a point as close as I could imagine, short of making a film together,” Hardy explained, adding that he would have loved to do so because it would have been a lot of fun.

To put it simply, his primary motivation for having Venom and Spider-Man share the screen was to cater to a younger audience. “It’s really for the kids,” he said. “Grown-ups enjoy superhero movies too, as evidenced by their success at the box office, but I think children remind me just how significant these characters are. They don’t understand why their favorite heroes aren’t in films together.
