The Rumors Said...

It all started with the final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, which was released recently. The trailer introduced audiences to Knull, the big villain that Tom Hardy will face. The multiversal villain is big enough to sustain this film and potentially venture into more of the MCU, considering that the multiverse is currently in play there. There were rumors that Knull would eventually become the main villain in Spider-Man 4 and that Tom Holland would be joined by Tom Hardy to defeat him. However, with Hardy now confirming that he is not returning, everything changes. Still, this could also be a diversion, as contracts often restrict actors from revealing future developments.
