Venom: The Last Dance trailer sets up Tom Hardy’s final Marvel chapter, leaving the franchise’s future uncertain after 2024.
Directed by Kelly Marcel, the trilogy finale arrives on October 25, wrapping up Sony’s symbiote trilogy starring Hardy.
Sony Pictures teases upcoming releases in the Spider-Verse with Venom: The Last Dance and Kraven the Hunter scheduled for 2024.
Sony Pictures releases the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer, setting up the final Marvel chapter for Tom Hardy’s anti-hero. While the future of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is unclear after 2024, the clock is ticking for the character who began this franchise. After getting Sony’s Spider-Man Universe up and running, Hardy’s Venom: The Last Dance has been confirmed to be the final story for the iconic Marvel symbiote.
With only a couple of months left before Venom: The Last Dance’s release, Sony Pictures has finally released the first trailer for the trilogy finale on Twitter/X and YouTube. Directed by Kelly Marcel, who wrote the first two Venom movies, as well as the threequel, Venom: The Last Dance arrives on October 25. Check out the Venom: The Last Dance trailer below.
Sony also unveiled the first official Venom: The Last Dance synopsis, revealing more details on the plot for the film:
In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
As Venom: The Last Dance will be the final movie for Hardy, the finale is clearly leaning into Klyntar as the third and final obstacle for the titular character. The trailer introduces numerous symbiote having arrived on Earth, likely because they are trying to get the Venom symbiote back to their planet. However, this is where Chiwetel Ejiofor and Juno Temple – who is revealed to be playing a character named Dr. Payne – get in the way because they want to keep the existence of symbiotes a secret.
While it was clear from the start that Venom: The Last Dance would take place directly after the ending to Spider-Man: No Way Home, the sequel may have just messed with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4. The footage shows the piece of the symbiote being left behind on Earth-616 getting captured by Ejiofor’s character, meaning that there is no way for the black suit storyline to get explored in Spider-Man 4. Although it does seemingly confirm that whoever Ejiofor is playing in Venom: The Last Dance has found a way to travel between worlds.
A surprise addition to Venom: The Last Dance is the introduction of Rhys Ifans, who played Dr. Curt Connors, a.k.a. The Lizard, in The Amazing Spider-Man universe, as he can be seen briefly in the trailer. Whether or not he is playing a healed Curt or a completely new character remains to be seen, but this is definitely intriguing, especially after Spider-Man: No Way Home. With the first look for Venom: The Last Dance finally unveiled to the world, time will tell what else Sony Pictures will reveal about the film as it gets closer to its theatrical release this fall.
