The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced and featured many celebrities, and one of them is Tom Hardy. While he isn’t permanently in the MCU, he made a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home after teleporting out of the Sony universe. Now, this unofficial MCU character has returned to the streaming charts.
Before the MCU, Hardy has starred in numerous major projects since his career started in 1998. Since then, he has received an Academy Award nomination for “Best Supporting Actor” for The Revenant, a “Rising Star Award” at the 2011 BAFTAs, and “Best Actor in an Action Movie” at the Critics’ Choice Awards for his role in Mad Max: Fury Road. And while it would have been cool to see him appear in a future MCU project, Hardy revealed that he was close to having that vision come to reality. So, as fans prepare for the return of Spider-Man in ***Spider-Man: Brand New Day ***and the Avengers in Avengers: Endgame, viewers have turned to the actor’s last Marvel film.
***Venon: The Last Dance ***has recently returned to the streaming charts, sitting at #5 on Amazon Prime’s Top 10, between Mercy and Pretty Lethal. The film continues after the post-credit scene events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he’s teleported back to his own universe, but is now being tracked by Knull (Andy Serkis), the creator of the symbiotes. Since its release, Venom: The Last Dance has generated over $478.9 million at the box office and was nominated for “Best Science Fiction Film” at the Saturn Awards.
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
The Venom trilogy is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Villain Universe, a separate and now-defunct cinematic franchise, as Sony Pictures holds the film rights to Spider-Man and its related characters. This ownership allows Sony to produce movies centered on Spider-Man characters who have not yet appeared in the MCU, and began in 2018 with* Venom*.
Starring Hardy, the Venom Trilogy follows Eddie Brock, a journalist who becomes a host to an alien symbiote named Venom. As the two form a symbiotic relationship, they become an anti-hero duo, facing bad guys on their own terms, but have an agreement to “not eat good people.” The first film became a massive success, generating over $856.1 million globally. While it didn’t sit well with critics, the audience praised it, giving it an 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its sequels, ***Venom: Let There Be Carnage ***and Venom: The Last Dance, didn’t perform as high as its predecessor. However, it managed to maintain the same praise, with the films earning an 83% and 79% audience score, respectively. As the title implies, *Last Dance *was intended to be the franchise’s final installment. That said, it was recently announced that Sony is in early development on an animated Venom movie, and Tom Hardy is reportedly involved, though his direct role on the project remains to be seen.
Venom: The Last Dance is available to stream on Netflix. Follow Collider for more updates.
