Summary
- A new fan trailer for Venom 3 imagines the Symbiote going up against all three live-action Spider-Men, generating excitement for the upcoming film.
- Venom 3 is expected to continue the multiverse aspect introduced in Spider-Man: No Way Home and may feature a crossover between Venom and Spider-Man.
- It remains to be seen if Venom 3 will be Tom Hardy's final appearance as Venom, but there is potential for him to continue appearing in Sony's Spider-Man Universe through TV shows.
While Eddie Brock didn't get to take part in Spider-Man: No Way Home in the way fans expected, a new Venom 3 fan trailer depicts the Symbiote against the web-crawler. The character who began Sony's Spider-Man Universe is less than a year away from finally returning as Venom 3 started production this year. Prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike going into effect, Tom Hardy's third film had commenced filming in Spain, with Kelly Marcel directing Venom 3, after having written the first two installments.
Expectations for Venom 3 are particularly high, especially after Hardy had a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which many were left disappointed with as he didn't get to engage with any of the Spider-Men who appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe adventure. However, as the world is trying to figure out what Venom 3 will focus on, Screen Culture released a new fan trailer, as a proof-of-concept for the 2024 movie.
Cleverly titled Venom 3: Along Came A Spider, the footage sees Eddie Brock and the Symbiote back in their world, after their shared cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Venom 3: Along Came A Spider fan trailer imagines the antihero going after not one, but all three live-action Spider-Men, featuring Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire, respectively. In Holland's case, they also follow up on the cliffhanger in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where a piece of the Symbiote was left behind.
What Is Venom 3 Actually About?
Sony Pictures have been extremely vague about the actual storyline for Venom 3, although a few clues have emerged thanks to Venom 3 set photos and videos. In one way or another, Venom 3 will seemingly take place directly after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. When filming was still taking place, Hardy was spotted wearing the same clothes he had during his little scene in the Spider-Man: No Way Home post-credits scene before he was sent back to his universe.
Given how Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse visited Earth-688, which was revealed to be Sony's Spider-Man Universe, it is possible that the multiverse aspect will continue in Venom 3 to some degree. Given that this will be the trilogy finale for Hardy, it wouldn't be shocking if the 2024 installment ends up being the film where Venom somehow crosses paths with Spider-Man. Whether that ends up being Holland's version from Earth-199999 or Garfield - who many believe is the Spider-Man of this universe - remains to be seen, but Venom 3 would be the perfect time to have that crossover once and for all.
What is more intriguing is whether or not Hardy is fully done with Sony's Spider-Man Universe after the events of Venom 3. Given that Sony is working on multiple live-action Spider-Man TV shows, that may or may not be tied to their films, having Hardy appear as Venom again on any of those series would be an interesting next chapter. But for now, time will tell what Venom 3 will be and if this will serve as Hardy's conclusion playing the iconic Marvel antihero.
