In the latest Venom: The Last Dance trailer, we see Eddie Brock dealing with new threats. The trailer starts with Eddie talking to Venom, asking, "What is that? Who's sending those things?" Venom's response sets the tone: "We're not going to like this." Eddie knows something big is comingโan unbeatable army led by his creator, Knull.
Throughout the trailer, we hear Eddie and Venom trying to figure out how to survive. Venom makes it clear they are in deep trouble, saying, โWe are screwed!โ They realize they have to stop this fight once and for all. The final battle looms large, and Venom is determined to be the "lethal protector" once again.
The trailer ends with a reference to David Bowie's song Space Oddity. Venom, known for his humor, jokes about it, leaving Eddie wondering how Venom even knows the song.
Spider-Man's Role & Tom Hardy's Future
A big part of the excitement around Venom: The Last Dance is the connection to Spider-Man. There are hints of a crossover with Tom Hollandโs Spider-Man, as Sony plans to expand its universe with the symbiote. This could be a major setup for the next Spider-Man movies, possibly even involving the King in Black storyline from the comics.
Tom Hardyโs social media posts have hinted that this will be his last outing as Venom, at least in his trilogy. He shared a heartfelt message thanking fans for their support over the past seven years. But donโt worry, this wonโt be the last time we see Venom. Sony is reportedly planning more movies that will involve Spider-Man and the symbiote, with Tom Hardy still playing a key roleโpossibly as the voice of the symbiote in future Spider-Man films.
Who Is Knull?
The trailer also gives us clues about Knull, the movieโs big villain. Knull is a god-like figure from the symbiote's past, and heโs after something that Venom has. There are rumors that Knull will be played by Andy Serkis, who directed Venom: Let There Be Carnage. His involvement would make sense since Serkis is a master of motion-capture performance, which is essential for a character like Knull.
Knullโs goal is to conquer the multiverse, and he already has the All-Black Necrosword, a weapon he uses to kill Celestials. This sets up a huge conflict with Venom, and likely other characters in the Marvel universe.
Whatโs Next for the Symbiote?
Sony has big plans for Venom and the symbiote beyond this movie. Tom Hollandโs Spider-Man is expected to bond with the symbiote in the next Spider-Man film. Thereโs even speculation that Tom Hardyโs Venom could become the voice inside Spider-Manโs head when he eventually gets the symbiote.
This crossover opens the door for more appearances by Venom in the MCU, potentially in Avengers 5 and Secret Wars. It looks like the symbiote will stick around for a while, with Tom Hollandโs Spider-Man likely wearing the black suit for several movies.
Will We See Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield?
Thereโs always buzz around whether Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield will return as Spider-Man. Although thereโs no confirmation, Andrew Garfield has hinted that he would be open to reprising his role. However, itโs unlikely that either will appear in Spider-Man 4. The focus seems to be on Tom Hollandโs Spider-Man and building a bigger, multiverse-spanning story.
Conclusion
Venom: The Last Dance promises to be an epic finale to Tom Hardyโs Venom trilogy, but itโs clear this isnโt the end of the symbiote. With Knull as a major villain and possible connections to the MCU, the future looks bright (and dark) for Venom and Spider-Man fans alike. Stay tuned as we get closer to the release date, with more trailers and updates on whatโs next for Sonyโs Spider-Verse.
