In a recent interview with Esquire UK, Tom Hardy shared just how keen is to see Spider-Man and Venom battle it out on the big screen once again. Of course, with the complex and ever-changing details of business deals and studio rights, getting the two characters together isn't as simple as just writing a script. But Hardy is on board — even if he doesn't say it outright.
"I would be remiss if I wasn't trying to steer any kind of connectivity [between Spider-Man and Venom]...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," Hardy told Esquire. "Should both sides be willing, and it be beneficial to both sides, I don't see why it couldn't be. I hope and strongly, with both hands, push, eagerly, towards that potential, and would do anything to make that happen, within what's right in business. But it would be foolish not to head towards the Olympic Games if you were running 100 metres, so yeah! I want to play on that field."
Whether Hardy's roundabout answer is a hint of something in the works or not, we'll have to wait and see. However, we'll be eagerly awaiting any news on the two characters meeting — and in the meantime, we'll continue to enjoy seeing their adventures play out in their respective universes.
