Sony Posts A Venom Crossover With Tom Hardy & Topher Grace

As we said at the top, multiverse stories seem to have gotten incredibly popular over the last few years, even if some of the more recent efforts — like «Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania» and «The Flash» — haven’t quite passed muster. With that in mind, it is possible that Sony pulled the video due to its popularity, suggesting that they could be considering it as an official «Venom» project in the future.

There is, at the very least, a possibility that this is the case. Not only has Sony been doubling down on its universe of villains, like Kraven and their origin stories, but the Topher Grace version of the character emerged during the time when Sony owned the exclusive cinematic rights to «Spider-Man» characters. 

Furthermore, when you consider how much Sony Pictures has been collaborating with Marvel Studios in recent years, it’s clear that the two entities have a good working relationship. However, being that both characters are Sony’s, Sony doesn’t really need Marvel Studios’ blessing if they do decide to pull the trigger on the project. 

All the same, with Marvel’s extensive network of VFX workers aiming for unionization and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, this prospective «Venom v. Venom,» will likely be a long way off — if it materializes at all.
