“Venom: “The Last Dance” is the third A-list product in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) after “Venom” of 2018 and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” of 2021. This film is scheduled to be released in October 2024, and this movie is considered the forefront of the story of Eddie Brock and his other half, the alien symbiote Venom. When the film shows new opportunities and the story’s development, audiences wait for how to finish the trilogy and what this will mean for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
The Return of Tom Hardy as Venom
The “Venom” series relies heavily on Tom Hardy, who returns as the journalist Eddie Brock and his alter-ego Venom. For this reason, Hardy has captured the heart of this dark, action-packed series with an excellent portrayal of the dual personalities. His return in “Venom: The Last Dance” will reportedly explore the dynamic between Brock and Venom, especially as they come up against even more significant threats from the rest of the universe and themselves.
A New Direction with Kelly Marcel as Director
While previous installments were helmed by directors Ruben Fleischer and Andy Serkis, “Venom: The Last Dance” will be directed by Kelly Marcel, who will make her directorial debut. This third Venom movie was co-written by Hardy, who collaborated with Marcel on the previous Venom movies as a writer. Her inclusion during the writing process ensures that the trilogy maintains the same manner and way of telling stories. This move brings a new twist to the Venom sequel while at the same time ensuring that continuity from the previous film is upheld courtesy of Marcel, who takes up the director’s role.
Exciting New Cast Members and Characters
Joining Tom Hardy in “Venom: The ‘’The Last Dance’’ is another diverse and exciting cast which includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, and Rhys Ifans. This new character, played by Ejiofo, is a military man responsible for capturing Eddie and Venom, thus creating another source of conflict. Temple also gets to play a scientist as he is part of the team following Eddie and Venom; this indicates other science or technology aspects of the story. As for Rhys Ifans and Alanna Ubach are still unknown, and Ifans’s association with the Spider-man Universe as Curt Connors/Lizard in The Amazing Spider-man (2012) begs for theories of Multiverse.
Back then, Patrick Mulligan was the character in contact with one symbiote named Toxin in” Let There Be Carnage. ” His character development in this sequel will be significant in the storyline. Additionally, Cristo Fernández will reprise his role as the bartender from Spider-Man: New Found Way, increasing speculation about the spawn of a cross-over between Venom and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Knull, the Symbiote God, Makes His Debut
Perhaps one of the most exciting revelations about “Venom: The episode is called ‘The Last Dance’ and it initiated the new character of Knull, who created all the symbiotes. He is a god-like character in the Marvel Comics, and his arrival is a massive threat to Eddie Brock, AKA Venom. That only has the potential to make the film more intense, especially now that Knull is coming to the SSU for the Venom trilogy and other symbiotic-related tales.
Filming and Production Delays Due to Strikes
Production for Venom: The Last Dance started shooting in Spain in June 2023 under the title “Orwell.” But, like many other big-budget Hollywood productions, “The Last Dance” ran into the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike that stopped the shooting only a few weeks after it began.
