After Spider-Man: No Way Home’s mid-credits scene, there were suspicions that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock could battle it out in Venom’s upcoming sequel. Venom: The Last Dance’s trailer and story details seem to rule this out entirely, however, due to the sheer number of other storylines and characters that the finale needs to balance. Eddie Brock and Venom find themselves fugitives in The Last Dance, on the run from human symbiote hunters – including Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character – and extraterrestrial villains alike, meaning a fight between Venom and Spider-Man would feel all too rushed.

In the early development stages of Venom: The Last Dance, an appearance by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man was a real possibility. Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis suggested Venom could meet Spider-Man in the future, while Holland himself confirmed talks with Amy Pascal regarding Spider-Man’s possible move to the SSU after the deal between Marvel Studios and Sony briefly broke down. Nevertheless, Venom: The Last Dance’s trailer neglected to tease the wall-crawler whatsoever, instead focusing on a storyline that may make Spider-Man’s appearance practically impossible.

Thank You So Much For Watching!
