Andrew Garfield Imagined in Venom: The Last Dance
New fan art envisions Andrew Garfield stepping back into his Spider-Man suit for the upcoming film “Venom: The Last Dance.” He would star alongside Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and a surprising character rumored to debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, this film marks the latest chapter in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Despite the franchise’s title, it has faced criticism for not featuring any version of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, but “Venom: The Last Dance” might change that narrative.
After Tom Hardy’s cameo in the MCU’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” post-credits scene, speculation arose about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man appearing in “Venom: The Last Dance.” However, new fan art by arifinity suggests it could be Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man teaming up with Brock for the adventure. Garfield, along with Tobey Maguire, earned widespread acclaim for reprising his role in “No Way Home.” The fan art also introduces Felicity Jones’ Black Cat, hinting at links to “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
The Implications of Garfield’s Return
The Missed Opportunity of a Spider-Man and Venom On-Screen Meeting
For six years, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has operated without showcasing its own Peter Parker. This absence is notable, given the franchise has introduced several of Spider-Man’s iconic foes, such as Morbius, Kraven the Hunter, and Venom. With “Venom: The Last Dance” confirmed as Tom Hardy’s final solo outing in the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSU), time is running out for a Spider-Man and Venom crossover.
New Spider-Man Casting Once Again Ignores A Huge Fan Demand
Following his appearance in “No Way Home,” fans have clamored for Andrew Garfield to return as Spider-Man. Initially cast in Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” series, Garfield’s role was meant to launch a shared universe, a plan that fell through after “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” If Garfield’s Spider-Man returns in “Venom: The Last Dance,” it could reignite interest in these plans and finally see the long-awaited Spider-Man and Venom meet-up, potentially boosting the appeal of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
Our Perspective: Garfield’s Spider-Man Revival
Rumors Surrounding Garfield’s Return
Rumors abound regarding Andrew Garfield’s potential comeback as Spider-Man. If revealed as the Peter Parker of Sony’s universe, it could stir confusion. “Madame Web” established Parker’s birth year as 2003, making him nine years old during “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2012. Sony might choose to retcon these details, especially given the criticism directed at “Madame Web.” This adjustment could make space for Garfield’s Spider-Man in the SSU, allowing the beloved actor to reprise his role without disrupting the MCU’s storyline.
