Tom Hardy has had a whirlwind 2026. After rumors swirled that he was let go from the hit crime series MobLand following filming for its second season, those reports were quickly debunked when the show was renewed for a third season, with Hardy confirmed to return. While he doesn't have any major action flicks on the immediate horizon, his recent streaming success is keeping him in the spotlight.
Hardy's latest big-screen outing, Venom: The Last Dance, has officially spent over 100 consecutive days in the streaming top 10 on Disney+. That's a remarkable feat for a film that, while it didn't match the box office heights of its predecessors, has clearly found a massive audience at home. The movie's staying power proves that the symbiote saga still has plenty of bite with viewers.
A Bright Spot in a Rocky Universe
The Sony Spider-Man Universe never quite took off the way the studio hoped, with many fans pointing to the absence of Spider-Man himself as a key misstep. But Hardy's Venom trilogy was the undeniable highlight. The franchise was a financial juggernaut, grossing over $1.8 billion worldwide against a combined production budget of around $350 million. That profitability essentially bankrolled Sony's other superhero experiments, even if they didn't all land.
The Last Dance may have earned less at the box office than its predecessors, but its streaming dominance tells a different story. It's a testament to Hardy's portrayal of Eddie Brock and the odd-couple chemistry he shares with the alien antihero. For fans who missed it in theaters or want to revisit the chaos, it's been a reliable comfort watch.
What's Next for Tom Hardy?
While nothing is set in stone, it's widely expected that Hardy's time as Venom has concluded. The title The Last Dance strongly suggests a farewell, and Hardy himself has said he feels the story of Eddie and Venom is complete—one he'd be satisfied ending where it stands. That hasn't stopped fans from dreaming of a future crossover with Spider-Man, but both Hardy and Tom Holland have poured cold water on that idea, at least for now.
For those who can't get enough of Hardy's action-hero energy, there are plenty of other thrills to explore.

As for Hardy, he's likely taking a well-deserved break after nearly a decade of pouring himself into the role. But with MobLand Season 3 on the way and other projects in development, fans won't have to wait too long to see him back in action. Until then, Venom: The Last Dance remains a must-watch on Disney+.
