Spider-Man 4 villain accidentally teased early, and fans really aren't happy

It seems that a main villain may have been accidentally teased for Spider-Man 4 and not everyone is happy about it.

We know very little about the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie, which still doesn't have an official full title. All we know for sure is that Tom Holland will return to reprise his role as the friendly neighbourhood hero.

Without giving too much away, Peter Parker made a heartbreaking sacrifice in Spider-Man: No Way Home to help protect those he loves. It will be interesting to see how those events play out in Spider-Man 4 but I for one will be hoping for a more grounded tale, similar to 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and its Vulture villain.

I for one will be hoping that Spider-Man will be teaming up with Daredevil to fight Kingpin now that the latter two are officially members of the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again coming to Disney Plus in 2025.

As of yet, we’ve not seen Peter Parker and Venom tangle in Sony’s Spider-Man universe but those hopes were seemingly dashed in this year's Venom: The Last Dance, said to be Tom Hardy’s last outing as the troublesome symbiote.

However, as reported by Cosmic Circus (via What I Heard), it seems that an accidental tease suggests that Spider-Man and Venom will encounter one another in the upcoming movie starring Tom Holland.

It’s been suggested that Tom Hardy may not be done with the Venom character after all and with Spider-Man 4 expected to play some part in further multiverse shenanigans, the iconic rival duo could be set to clash once more.

“Screw this,” said Redditor ZekeorSomething, putting it bluntly.

“I'm still wondering why Hardy's Venom can't be Andrew Garfield’s foe. The Amazing Spider-Man seems to be in a more "mature" universe so Hardy’s Venom would work well in that universe,” suggests grassytrailalligator. I must say, I love that idea.

We should take this apparent accidental tease with a pinch of salt because it might be an error. We’ll just have to wait and see if Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Tom Hardy’s Venom finally clash in the upcoming movie.
