Venom: The Last Dance – Tom Hardy’s Final Venom Outing
– Sony has announced “Venom: The Last Dance” as the final installment in the Venom trilogy starring Tom Hardy, with an expected release date of October 25, 2024.
– Sony Motion Picture Group Chairman Tom Rothman emphasizes the film’s significance and teases other major upcoming Marvel-related releases, including the third Tom Holland Spider-Man movie and “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.”
Sony’s cinematic universe is preparing to bid farewell to one of its most electrifying characters as “Venom: The Last Dance” is set to conclude the trilogy featuring Tom Hardy. This revelation came directly from Tom Rothman, Chairman of the Sony Motion Picture Group, during an exclusive interview with Deadline. Rothman heralded the close of Venom’s chapter within Sony’s Marvel films as a significant occasion that’s sure to captivate fans across the globe.
The Venom series has carved out its unique niche, distinct from the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), commencing with its 2018 debut. Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock presented a darker, more visceral take on the familiar comic book universe, one that existed in the absence of his infamous nemesis, Spider-Man. The success of the original movie warranted a sequel, bringing seismic narrative expansions in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (2021). Under the directorial vision of Andy Serkis, audience members were treated to the introduction of Woody Harrelson as the notorious Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage.
Despite being a universe apart, Hardy’s Eddie Brock recently graced the screens of the MCU in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” teasing a potential crossover. With leaked set photos suggesting a direct continuum of events from there into “The Last Dance,” the anticipation for narrative tie-ins and closure is palpable. However, the plot’s finer details are currently kept tightly under wraps, adding to the mystery and allure of what is set to be Venom’s cinematic swansong.
“Venom: The Last Dance” has been officially slated for an October 25, 2024, release, which was announced in March.
