Sony’s Spider-Man-adjacent cinematic universe is gearing up for an eventful year, with exciting developments on the horizon. While the journey started with Madame Web’s intriguing connections, the box office reception has yet to soar past the $100 million mark globally. Nonetheless, anticipation is mounting as Aaron Taylor-Johnson prepares to step into the shoes of the iconic character in J.C. Chandor’s Kraven The Hunter, slated for release this summer. Looking further ahead, fans can anticipate the third installment from the ‘SPUMC’ in 2024, featuring Tom Hardy reprising his role as Venom. Recent updates shed light on what audiences can expect from this highly-anticipated film.
Officially titled Venom: The Last Dance, the film’s name hints at the possibility of a trilogy-closing finale. Alternatively, it may evoke imagery of a Magic Mike-esque performance, adding an intriguing layer of anticipation. Helmed by Kelly Marcel, who previously contributed to the scripts of Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the movie also boasts a new release date, scheduled to hit theaters on October 25. Joining the cast are Juno Temple, Clark Backo, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the latter likely not reprising his role as Doctor Strange’s adversary, Mordo.
One of the lingering questions surrounding The Last Dance is how it will address Eddie Brock’s brief foray into the MCU. In the closing moments of Let There Be Carnage, he found himself transported into the main Marvel universe courtesy of Doctor Strange’s spell in No Way Home, only to return to the Sony-verse by the film’s conclusion. The brevity of this crossover leaves room for speculation on its impact, and audiences eagerly await October to uncover the answers.
As excitement builds for Venom: The Last Dance, fans are left wondering if a Julia Stiles-style hip-hop dance sequence might make an appearance. Regardless, the film promises to deliver another thrilling chapter in Venom’s saga, blending action, humor, and suspense in a way only Tom Hardy’s portrayal can achieve. With its intriguing premise, talented cast, and creative team behind the scenes, Venom: The Last Dance is poised to captivate audiences and leave them eagerly anticipating the next installment in Sony’s cinematic universe.
