Exclusive: Venom 3 Set Photo Teases Mind-Blowing Link to Tom Hardy's Iconic MCU Spider-Man in No Way Home

Tom Hardy has posted the first official set photo of Venom 3, showcasing a connection to his previous appearance as Eddie Brock in the Spider-Man: No Way Home credits scene. The ongoing filming of Venom 3 marks the return of the franchise that played a significant role in establishing Sony's Spider-Man Universe, with Hardy reprising his role as Eddie Brock. While details of the story have been kept confidential, the movie will be helmed by Kelly Marcel, who previously contributed to the scripts of the first two films.

Hardy's recent Instagram post featuring a set photo offers a new clue about the story of Venom 3, or at the very least, indicates where the narrative picks up following Venom: Let There Be Carnage. In the cryptic image, it is evident that the actor is donning the same attire worn by Eddie in both the credits scenes of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home, capturing attention and generating speculation.

Will Venom 3 Reference Tom Hardy's Spider-Man: No Way Home Cameo?

Without further details from Sony, the true nature of Venom 3 remains shrouded in uncertainty. However, it wouldn't come as a surprise if the sequel directly continues the narrative from Spider-Man: No Way Home, delving into Eddie and the symbiote's journey. We last saw Eddie when he was transported back to his own universe through Doctor Strange's enchantment, but the symbiote, leaving a fragment behind, remained in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If Venom 3 doesn't address Eddie's journey to another universe and return to his own, it would be an odd story choice. Judging from Hardy's set photo, it seems likely that the larger storyline for Venom 3 will be directly connected to Spider-Man: No Way Home. With Sony's Spider-Man Universe exploring the multiverse through films like Spider-Verse and Madame Web, it would be fitting for Venom 3 to follow suit.

As production for Venom 3 progresses, more details will likely emerge, whether through set photos or videos. The actual storyline and the roles of the new cast members, which are currently kept under wraps, will be interesting to discover. However, for now, the world will continue to speculate about what will happen in Venom 3.
