Venom fans, brace yourselves: the prospect of “Venom 4: Symbiote Wars” is generating significant buzz as speculation mounts about the franchise’s future. Following the success of the first two films, which laid the groundwork for Sony’s Spider-Man universe, Tom Hardy’s iconic portrayal of Eddie Brock has captivated audiences, and the excitement for a potential fourth installment is palpable.

While both Hardy and Kelly Marcel have indicated that “Venom: The Last Dance” will mark Hardy’s final performance in the titular role, they have also hinted at the possibility of Eddie Brock resurfacing in future projects. Hardy expressed a keen desire to face off against Spider-Man, stating, “I would never say never,” during a recent New York Comic-Con panel. This openness leaves the door ajar for Hardy’s return, particularly as discussions about the multiverse in upcoming Marvel films intensify.

Andy Serkis, who voiced the formidable character Null in “Venom: The Last Dance,” recently shared insights into his last-minute casting and his eagerness to reprise the role. He hinted at the potential for Null to clash with Spider-Man, suggesting that the character may not be finished in the franchise despite his defeat.

A compelling theory surrounding the upcoming “Avengers 5” posits that both Venom and Null could make their way into “Spider-Man 4,” which is the only confirmed film set between the next two Avengers movies. With Tom Holland’s Spider-Man returning and rumors swirling about the potential return of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, a multiverse storyline seems likely. This setup could allow for an epic confrontation involving Venom and Null, especially as the stakes rise in a world where Peter Parker faces dire challenges.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to evolve, the connections between the Spider-Man films and the broader multiverse landscape hint at thrilling developments. The future appears bright for Venom and his nemeses, leaving fans eagerly anticipating how these narratives will unfold. With Tom Hardy’s commitment and Andy Serkis’ willingness to return, the stage is set for an exhilarating continuation of the symbiote saga.
