Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Footage: Tom Hardy's Epic Return in Venom 3, Hinting at Thrilling Next Chapter in Marvel Cinematic Universe

Tom Hardy's portrayal of Eddie Brock in Venom 3 can be witnessed in a fresh set video, along with behind-the-scenes images that divulge intriguing information about the concluding installment of the character's trilogy. This will mark Hardy's third solo venture as Eddie, and the Venom franchise has undeniably proven to be a lucrative asset for Sony's Spider-Man Universe. According to Box Office Mojo, the 2018 release of Venom amassed a staggering $856 million in global box office earnings, while its pandemic-affected sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, managed to secure $506.8 million. Sony intends to uphold this streak of success with the highly anticipated Venom 3.

Recently, @Almupg80 and @QuidVacuo shared a set video and a collection of photos captured during the making of Venom 3 on Twitter. The set video prominently showcases Tom Hardy in the role of Eddie Brock, walking and seemingly engaged in conversation with Venom. The accompanying set photos shed light on fascinating details regarding the film, confirming its Mexican backdrop and the inclusion of festivities surrounding the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos). Explore the captivating set photos and video below for a glimpse into the world of Venom 3.

How Venom 3 Continues On From Venom 2 & Spider-Man: No Way Home

Sony's Spider-Man Universe bears the name of the hero, but fans have yet to witness the actual Marvel character. Although there was a brief appearance in the post-credit scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the crossover didn't occur between Tom Holland's Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the SSU. Instead, it was Hardy's Venom who found himself transported into the MCU during the post-credits scene.

In the post-credit scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which picks up after Eddie Brock and Venom's victory against Carnage, we see Hardy's character back in his room being suddenly transported into the MCU. He witnesses Holland's Spider-Man on the television screen. However, in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Eddie Brock's return to Sony's Spider-Man Universe happens abruptly when a bartender enlightens him about the history of the MCU, without giving him the opportunity to meet Holland's Spider-Man.

It is uncertain if Spider-Man from Holland will make an appearance in the final installment of Venom's trilogy. However, this inclusion would undoubtedly benefit Venom 3's performance at the box office as it competes against DC's Joker: Folie à Deux. Even without Spider-Man's presence, Venom 3 will continue the storyline from Eddie's interdimensional travels in Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Set photos and videos have revealed that a portion of Venom 3 will take place in Mexico, specifically during the Día de Muertos holiday, echoing the previous films. This continuation showcases the franchise's crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
