Tom Hardy's Crowd-Pleasing Sci-Fi Thriller Officially Hits 100-Day Streaming Milestone

2026 has been a wild year for Tom Hardy so far, especially once the news came out that he had been fired after filming his scenes for the second season of the hit crime thriller show, MobLand. That report was debunked weeks later, around the same time MobLand was renewed for Season 3, when it was also reported that Hardy would return to star in the show's third season.

Hardy doesn't have any big action movies lined up for the final few months of the year or the first few months of 2026, but he does have plenty of projects in the works to be excited about. It's likely that Hardy is taking some time off after spending the better part of the last 10 years pouring so much effort into playing Eddie Brock in the Venom movies.

The Sony Spider-Man Universe never quite got off the ground, which many fans would credit to Sony's lack of a desire to put any version of Spider-Man in any of the films, but Tom Hardy's Venom franchise was the clear bright spot in the eyes of most viewers. It was also the franchise that did well enough at the box office to allow Sony to bankroll a few more movies, as they were the only ones that turned a profit in theaters, grossing over $1.8 billion but only costing around $350 million. The final installment in the series, Venom: The Last Dance, may have earned less at the box office than its predecessors, but it is currently on a 100-day streaming hot streak in America, where it streams on Disney Plus.

Will Tom Hardy Ever Come Back as Venom?

While not explicitly confirmed, it's expected that Tom Hardy's days as Venom are behind him after the third film in his trilogy. Not only does the title The Last Dance imply that he is ready to leave the character behind, but Hardy has also stated that he thinks the team told a complete story for Eddie Brock and Venom, and one that he would be satisfied if it ended where it stands. Fans remain hopeful that a potential Spider-Man and Venom crossover could happen eventually, but Hardy has also cast doubt on this happening, as has Tom Holland cast doubt on him ever wearing the symbiote suit.
