Sony Pictures has released the thrilling final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, marking the conclusion of Tom Hardy’s run as Eddie Brock, the iconic anti-hero from the Spider-Man comics. The third and final instalment in the Venom trilogy promises an explosive ending to the symbiote saga, as Eddie and Venom are forced to make a devastating decision that will determine their ultimate fate.
According to the official logline, “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.” The final chapter teases a dramatic showdown as the two face insurmountable odds and wrestle with the consequences of their existence.
In addition to Tom Hardy reprising his dual role as Eddie Brock and Venom, the film features a star-studded cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. This time, Kelly Marcel, who wrote and produced the first two films, steps into the director’s chair, bringing her vision full circle. Marcel, who co-wrote the story with Tom Hardy, also penned the screenplay and produced the film alongside industry veterans Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker.
Tom Hardy’s first two outings as Venom, Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) were box office powerhouses. The original film, directed by Ruben Fleischer, raked in a staggering $856 million worldwide, while its sequel, directed by Andy Serkis, brought in $502 million globally despite being released during the pandemic.
Fans of the Venom franchise will remember that the post-credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage teased Eddie and Venom’s potential entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as they were transported into the same universe as Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. Although Venom briefly appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home before being returned to his universe, he left behind a crucial piece of symbiote, hinting at future connections.
Venom: The Last Dance is set to hit theatres on October 25, 2024, and with this final chapter, the beloved symbiote’s story promises a grand and emotional conclusion.
