“Venom: The Last Dance” Teaser Finds Dynamic Symbiote Fighting Their Last Battle

A new teaser for first-time director Kelly Marcel’s Venom: The Last Dance is here, and true to its title, the third film in the Tom Hardy-led trilogy will find his Eddie Brock and his best buddy Venom, the alien symbiote he hosts, in a final, epic battle. Eddie has worked hard to train his insatiable alien friend from feasting on just anybody to channel his aggression and appetite towards more noble ends.  

Hardy’s run as Venom began with director Ruben Fleischer’s 2018 hit Venom, followed by Andy Serkis’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which co-starred Woody Harrelson as the alien symbiote that made Venom look mild-mannered by comparison. 

The Last Dance is a collaboration between Hardy, who worked on the story and has been the franchise’s face and driving force, and writer/director Marcel, a longtime Venom scribe. Newcomers Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor join Hardy in the new film alongside Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. 

The Last Dance finds Venom’s home planet and its ferocious inhabitants having zeroed in on Earth, forcing Eddie and Venom to go on the run. 

Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo is forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance,” the logline states.

Hardy wrote in an Instagram post last November that he loved making the final film with Marcel. “It’s been and continues to be a lot of fun this journey — there’s always hard turns to burn when we work, but [it] doesn’t feel as hard when you love what you do and when you know you have great material and the support at all sides, of a great team. I want to mention very briefly how proud of my director, writing partner and dear friend Kelly Marcel I am. Watching you taking the helm on this one fills me with pride, it is an honour. Trust your gut, your instincts are always spot on.”

Check out the teaser below. The full trailer arrives on Thursday. Venom: The Last Dance hits theaters on October 25.
