Sony has released the second trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, which closes in on the film’s plot: The symbiotes were not sent to Earth randomly, but rather trying to escape their maker, Knull. This is the third movie in the Venom franchise with Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom, and so far, featuring the only successful Spider-Man villain spin-off character.
“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 official film 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.” Check out the new trailer below.
Created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, Knull was first introduced in 2018, and soon mentioned in various issues of Web of Venom, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the War of the Realms crossover event. After that, Knull was the main antagonist in Cates and Tradd Moore’s Silver Surfer: Black mini-series.
Along with Hardy, the film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. Kelly Marcel takes the director reins as she also wrote the screenplay, based on the story that her and Hardy co-created.
The previous Venom installments both opened at the start of October, with the first film grossing $856 million at the worldwide box office. The sequel, Let There Be Carnage, earned $502 million globally in 2021 as the world was still feeling the effects of the pandemic.
Venom: The Last Dance arrives in theaters on October 25.
