Summary
Venom: The Last Danceis currently in the reshoot stage. Set photos may confirm a fan theory that has been speculated for some time.
The final installment of Sony’sVenomtrilogy,Venom: The Last Dance, is approaching its release date, though it is still months away. In the meantime, fans are buzzing with speculation, and recent set photos have reignited some old theories.
Recent set photosshared by @SpiderMan_Newz on Twitterhave sparked new speculation about the movie’s plot. The images, showing Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) in New York for reshoots, have reignited theories about Spider-Man’s appearance. This time, however, fans are considering the possibility of a different Spider-Man making an appearance.
Theories about aVenomandSpider-Mancrossover have been circulating for several years. Fans first got a taste of this potential connection when Brock briefly appeared in the post-credits scene ofNo Way Home, which many took as a hint that Sony’s Venom and Marvel’s Spider-Man might cross paths again. This speculation was further fueled byThe Last Dancetrailer, with fans theorizing thata symbiote would take center stagein the anticipated meeting between these two beloved characters. This speculation is bolstered by the fact that bothSony and Marvel successfully crossed overin the previousSpider-Manmovie, which was a major box office hit.
Additionally, the ongoing multiverse trend has only added to the excitement and theories about a potential crossover. While some fans were skeptical, recent set photos from the reshoots in New York - Spider-Man’s city - have reignited interest and could suggest that the theories might be correct. Previously, theVenommovies,VenomandVenom: Let There Be Carnage, were set in San Francisco, which set the character apart from Spider-Man’s world. However, the shift to New York for the reshoots could be a significant clue. Many fans continue to believe thatMarvel’s Spider-Man (Tom Holland) will indeed make an appearancein the upcoming movie, and the latest developments only add to the anticipation.
Some fans are speculating that the New York City depicted in the reshoots might not be Marvel’s version but rather the one fromSony’sThe Amazing Spider-Manseries. This has led to new theories suggesting that Andrew Garfield could be the Spider-Man making an appearance in the movie. Such a shift would align with the current trend of studios capitalizing on nostalgia and crossover appeal to drive interest, similar to how the most recent Marvel movie achieved major success by reintroducing beloved characters like Wolverine. Sony has been promising a new installment inThe Amazing Spider-Manseries for years, a project many fans have eagerly awaited but which has yet to come to fruition. If Garfield’s Spider-Man does appear inThe Last Dance, it could serve as a way for Sony to finally deliver on that promise. Who knows,Sony might be using this as a strategic bait, which would not be the first time such tactics have been employed. Similar strategies were seen withDeadpool and Wolverine, which leveraged fan theories to generate pre-release excitement. As a result,Venom: The Last Dancecould end up being more surprising and unexpected than initially thought.
Venom: The Last Danceis set to release on June 28, 2025.
