Tom Hardy admitted that his Venom's crossover with Tom Holland's Spider-Man didn't materialize due to "studio politics."

Spider-Man archvillain Venom made it into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the mid-credits scenes ending 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home, but that’s as close as Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) ever got to Peter Parker (Tom Holland).

"Venom: The Last Dance" has come and gone and with it, Tom Hardy's final solo film as Eddie Brock/Venom in the Sony Spider-Verse. As much as fans wanted it to happen, none of his appearances included any kind of meeting with Tom Holland's Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but according to Hardy the epic meeting came very close to happening.
