While Spider-Man 4 is still a long way to go, fans are thrilled for Venom 3 to hit theatres late next year. The Tom Hardy-starrer was originally scheduled to release in July, but the WGA strikes pushed the dates until November 8, 2024. Since none of the Venom films portrayed a face-off with Spider-Man, Venom 3 holds the potential to finally give in to the fans’ demands. Moreover, the sequel might showcase a different version of Spidey or possibly Andrew Garfield’s in the Sony Spider-Man universe.
As the buzz around Venom 3 intensifies, fans are getting to work, flaunting their talents and fandom for the superhero. A recent poster is turning heads that presents the hero and anti-hero of the Spidey-verse in a much-anticipated fight. Additionally, an interesting tagline for the still-untitled sequel also flashed over the poster.
Fan poster spills the ultimate speculation
Whether Venom 3 creators are actually devising a plot that pits Peter Parker’s Spider-Man and Eddie Brock’s Venom against each other is still unknown. However, there are speculations that Andrew Garfield might reprise his Spider-Man role in the 2024 film. Adding fuel to the rumors, a fan art by @marvels.wolverine on Instagram envisioned the speculation and presented it to the world.
The poster imagined a hulky Venom exchanging blows with Garfield’s web-slinger; a thunderous lightning raging behind them and against the archetype cityscape settings. Had it been the movie’s poster, the title would’ve subtly given away the plot, depicting the grand face-off between Spider-Man and Venom. The caption of the post stated,
“Venom 3: Along Came A Spider 🔥 I hope Andrew’s Spidey is in this movie 😍”
The fans’ comments under the post were rather enthusiastic about the speculative fight and commended the artist for putting up their ingenuity. In addition to all the three popular Spider-Man stars appearing in Marvel’s No Way Home, even the distorted version of Spider-Man, that is, Tom Hardy’s Venom/Eddie Brock also appeared in the post-credits scene of the MCU film.
Will Spider-Man be a part of Venom 3?
Despite the multiple fan theories transpiring around the Venom 3 plot, there has not been any confirmation of Spider-Man’s involvement, let alone Andrew Garfield’s. Marvel Updates on X had previously teased Andrew Garfield’s return in Sony’s Venom 3, however, a subsequent update in late October spoke of Holland’s Spider-Man fighting with Venom.
The movies did it better. They didn't even touch on the split personality stuff in the game. Movie Venom is also so much fun I can't wait to see him and Tom Holland's Spidey fight (sooner than you think) https://t.co/THWf9F0gOJ

According to a Screen Rant article, it was indicated that chances are low for Tom Holland to reprise as Spider-Man in Venom 3 as it would make little sense. Whereas, a new version of Spidey, Garfield, or even Miles Morales from the animated universe, might get a feature.
A now-deleted concept teaser trailer was also released by Stryder HDon YouTube, which was titled, Venom 3: Enter the Multiverse. It depicted Hardy against Andrew Garfied’s Peter Parker. With all of the mind-boggling rumors, it might be possible that Sony might surprise fans with none of the plot theories incorporated. Or even all of it. We will have to wait and watch until then.
