Tom Hardy seems to clear up questions about his future as Eddie Brock after Venom: The Last Dance, as the Marvel trilogy ends this fall. The Venom series has been a unique part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, especially since Spider-Man hasn’t appeared in any of the connected movies yet. Still, one of the main highlights of this Marvel franchise is the Venom films, with the latest one coming out this fall.
In a recent social media post promoting Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy shared a heartfelt message about his time with the Venom series. While thanking fans for supporting the trilogy, Hardy hinted that this will likely be his last time playing the popular Marvel character, saying the following:
“That’s it for me and Venom. We promise this will be the best one yet. We’ve loved making these movies. Thank you for all your love and support – join us for the Last Dance. For everyone who enjoys a good time, our team is here to entertain you!”

Before this, Tom Hardy hadn’t said whether Venom: The Last Dance would be his last time playing Eddie Brock. But with his recent statement, it seems like this is the end of an era. Hardy started Sony’s Spider-Man Universe back in 2018 with the first Venom movie.
What Tom Hardy’s Comment Means For His Venom Future
Only time will tell if Venom: The Last Dance will be the best movie in the trilogy, but Tom Hardy’s comments are a little sad for fans. Since the first Venom movie, he has shown his commitment to the characters, even earning a “story by” credit for the latest film.
Despite mixed reviews for Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Hardy’s films have been more liked by audiences compared to Madame Web and Morbius.
| Tom Hardy’s Appearances As Eddie Brock/Venom | |
|---|---|
| Venom | 2018 |
| Venom: Let There Be Carnage | 2021 |
| Spider-Man: No Way Home (post-credits scene) | 2021 |
| Venom: The Last Dance | 2024 |
As Tom Hardy wraps up his time playing Venom, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe will lose its strongest character, especially if he doesn’t return for future films. That’s why having Knull as a villain in Venom: The Last Dance is a big deal, giving Venom one last huge challenge before the trilogy ends. Because of this, some people think Eddie or Venom might die in the movie. However, if that doesn’t happen, there’s always a chance for Hardy to play the role again in future films, like Avengers: Secret Wars.

Hardy’s Venom is the strongest and most reliable character in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, so it’s sad to see his Marvel story come to an end. It’s also unclear what will happen to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe after Kraven the Hunter is released in December since there are no other movies planned.
Because of this, Venom: The Last Dance might be more important than ever, as it could mark the end of this series of Marvel films or the start of a new chapter that focuses on Knull.
