Sony has released the first trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, which is being billed as “the final film in the trilogy” starring Tom Hardy. Check it out below.
Following the events of 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie Brock (Hardy) and his alien symbiote companion are more in tune than ever — even if they still haven’t quite nailed the catchphrase. But as David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” plays in the preview, Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor gear up a military squad to bring the extraterrestrial fugitive down. (With, eagle-eyed nerds will note, a nod to the Spider-Man: No Way Home post-credits scene that muddles all sorts of multi-versal timelines.)
With Stephen Graham’s symbiote-bonded Detective Mulligan in their custody, it seems the government has learned more dangerous creatures from Venom’s home planet are on their way to Earth. So while Brock and his slimy black buddy are on the run (using a Venom-horse, no less) from one army, they must get ready to do battle with another, nastier one… that comes with way more teeth.
Venom: The Last Dance is scheduled for release on October 25th, 2024. Kelly Marcel makes her directorial debut working from a script she wrote based on a story broken alongside Hardy.
The movie is the latest in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, of which the Venom series has been the lone success. Madame Web broke the internet upon its release earlier this year, though schadenfreude streaming has propelled it to Netflix “success.” Meanwhile, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter, which received its first trailer last summer, has seen its release date pushed back time and time again, but is currently looking at a December 13th, 2024 release.
