Speaking to Forbes, Tom called the franchise’s future into question.

“I don’t think that’s happening,” he told the outlet when asked about The Wasteland.

What is he working on? For starters, Venom: The Last Dance arrives in theaters on October 25, 2024. We recently got a first glimpse of the project with its official trailer.

Tom teased more on the horizon, too.

“I have a secret thing that I’m building up. I’ve been working on that for a while now,” he teased, adding, “There’s a lot of different things that make me get excited, you know? Being able to do things like Venom has allowed my shoulders to grow and understand that there are lots of different faculties and ways to pour creativity into output and art, and have creative colors in lots of different sectors.”

More specifically, he said, “So, I’ll be going back to theatre – there’s independent film, there’s big movies, there’s other stuff. All of these things are constantly on my mind. We have several things on the slate in development.”

If you missed it, Tom recently made very rare comments about his children.
