Tom Hardy wants a Spider-Man-Venom crossover – The Hollywood Reporter

Tom Hardy is hoping Sony and Marvel Studios can pull off a live-action Spider-verse crossover between Venom and Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.

Talk to Squire, the Venom: There Be carnage and Mad Max The star admitted that he is actively trying to crossbreed the two films. “I would be remiss if I didn’t try to pilot some kind of connectivity. I wouldn’t do the job if I wasn’t awake and open to any opportunity or eventuality or if I wasn’t excited about it, ”he said.

Despite his passion for a film starring both his alien symbiote anti-hero Venom and the sympathetic hero of the Queens neighborhood, the actor admitted that there were clear obstacles – such as the rights deals around the characters – who could complicate this effort. But he doesn’t think that if there is interest from both studios, it’s a hurdle that can’t be crossed.

“Obviously it’s a big canyon for one person to walk through, and it would take a much higher level of diplomacy and intelligence, sitting and talking, to take on an arena like that. “, did he declare. “If both sides want it and it’s beneficial to them, I don’t see why it couldn’t be. “

In the meantime, Hardy has said he will continue to push “with eagerness” and “with both hands” to make the Olympic-level feat a reality for himself and his fans. “I hope and firmly, with both hands, to push, with eagerness, towards this potential, and I would do anything to make it happen, within the framework of what is right in business. But it would be foolish not to head to the Olympics if you were running 100 meters, so yes! I want to play on this field.

During the interview, the actor – who will receive story credit on the next Venom sequel – also teased a potential third film, telling the magazine the studio is already “really happy” with Let there be Carnage.

“I’m also thinking about the third movie, because I think you have to write it at the same time,” Hardy said. “A third will not have the green light until the second has succeeded, but the studio [was] really, really happy with number two.
