Sony Pictures Entertainment has released the final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, itself the final entry in the Spider-Man spin-off trilogy.
The near three-minute trailer gives fans their first look at the live-action version of Knull, the eldritch god of darkness who created the alien symbiotes that infected Tom Hardy’s character Eddie Brock. It only offers a brief glimpse of the baddie, but his figure atop a throne, with taloned fingers and long white hair, will be plenty familiar to fans of the Marvel comics.
Venom also takes on some fun new forms in the film, a couple of which are shown off in the trailer. This includes a Venom fish and more of the dastardly Venom horse seen in the last trailer.
“In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy,” the synopsis reads. “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.”
Fans won’t have to wait too long to view the final piece of the trilogy as Venom: The Last Dance arrives October 25, 2024 — two weeks ahead of its previously announced November release date but a few months after the original plan to release it this month.
Sony Motion Picture Group chairman Tom Rothman confirmed in May 2024 the film will be Venom’s last (pending another reboot) but it will seemingly go out with a bang. “The third and last Venom is going to be huge,” Rothman said.
The last film earned a 7/10 review from IGN. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage improves on everything from the first movie, leaning into its own absurdity. While it plays it a little safe, it still points the series in an exciting direction.”
