![]() ![]() Since the deal saw the quick, ignominious erasure of Sony’s Andrew Garfield-starring efforts, 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2014 sequel, it did seem that Sony had abandoned an increasingly unfeasible dream of Spider-Man autonomy to ride the MCU’s gravy train. ![]() While, for Sony, it was a profitable move that pleased fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it also stood as a monumental detour from the studio’s method of maintaining its own separate Spider-Man universe-perhaps fueled by the success of director Sam Raimi’s 2002-2007 Spider-Man Trilogy-which has been kept away from the MCU. One must first recall the historic nature of the studio deal between Sony Pictures and Disney’s Marvel Studios that facilitated the creation of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and his quick introduction in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. The task of bridging said canyon is daunting and complex on both a business level-pertaining to Sony’s long-held license for the Spider-Man film rights-and a narrative level-given the confusing, contradiction-filled continuity of the SPUMC (Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters). Obviously, that’s a large canyon to leap, to be bridged by one person alone, and it would take a much higher level of diplomacy and intelligence, sitting down and talking, to take on an arena such as that.” “I wouldn’t be doing the job if I wasn’t awake and open to any opportunity or eventuality or be excited by that. “I would be remiss if I wasn’t trying to steer any kind of connectivity,” Hardy said when pressed on the Spider-Man question. However, in an interview with Esquire, Hardy is unambiguously lobbying for the cinematic connectivity necessary for a Spider-Man showdown. Yet, by contrast, the Venom film franchise has been a curiosity, with the 2018 solo film’s status as a quasi-spinoff of Sony’s Marvel Cinematic Universe-adherent Spider-Man films that bore no apparent connection to the Wall-Crawler, and even set itself away from Spidey’s New York City stomping ground to the other side of the contiguous U.S. While still mockingly brandishing Spider-Man’s signature symbol on his chest, Venom quickly became an A-list villain and eventual anti-hero, and one of Marvel’s most popular characters, although always a Spider-Man character. Hardy is making a passionate push for a yet-to-be-greenlit Venom 3 to center around a battle between his title character and your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man a notion that seems obvious, seeing as Venom was introduced in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man back in 1988, created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane as Spidey’s bulky, menacing doppelganger empowered by the shapeshifting alien symbiote costume the hero abandoned. However, given the twisted web in which Sony’s Marvel movies are stuck, such a face-off would likely require major studio wrangling and multiverse magic. ![]() Interestingly, for fans still unable to overlook the Spider-Man-less elephant in the franchise room, said designs are auspicious, since they involve a push to finally get the symbiote-joined Eddie Brock and Tom Holland’s Wall-Crawler together to potentially ignite a live-action version of their era-defining comic book rivalry. Either way, the fans on Twitter are already freaking out about the possibilities.While sequel Venom: Let There Be Carna ge approaches its September 24 release date, star Tom Hardy is already envisioning designs for a prospective third film. ![]() Now, there's a chance this hat could not be a production gift for No Way Home's cast and crew, instead just a hat that Hardy somehow got his hands on. The image no longer appears on Oeding's Instagram, adding to the speculation that it could spoil something. It appears the photo was originally posted by TV director Lin Oeding, who posed for the picture next to Hardy. (via: /XUI4hsCDM8- Marvel Updates September 17, 2021 Tom Hardy in his ‘Spider-Man, No Way Home’ production hat. On Thursday, a photo surfaced online showing Hardy wearing a Spider-Man: No Way Home hat, one that looks like a cap worn by the film's cast and crew. Hardy has talked openly about his desire for his character in Venom: Let There Be Carnage to team up with Tom Holland's Peter Parker in the MCU, but no one involved with the franchise has given fans a clear answer. Thanks to a new photo, Hardy is only adding to the rumblings of a Spider-Man/Venom crossover. Of course, some of those rumors revolve around Tom Hardy's Venom, who has found success in his own film franchise over the last few years. The third Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is rumored to include several characters from previous Spider-Man franchises, and Alfred Molina's Doc Ock was officially revealed in the first trailer. After months and months of casting rumors, it might be harder figure out who ISN'T in Spider-Man: No Way Home. ![]()
