Eddie Brock and Venom Face Their Biggest Challenge Yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Epic Conclusion
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for another high-octane adventure with Venom: The Last Dance. The latest trailer for the third installment has sent fans into a frenzy, revealing a glimpse of the formidable villain, Knull — one of the most powerful characters in Marvel comics. As Tom Hardy returns to reprise his role as Eddie Brock and Venom, the stakes have never been higher. But what exactly is in store for the iconic anti-hero, and who is Knull?
What Is ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ About?
Following the chaotic events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie Brock and Venom are on the run. According to the film’s synopsis, the duo is being hunted from both sides of their worlds. With danger looming, they are forced into making a devastating decision that could mark the end of their journey. The film promises to deliver a gripping and emotional conclusion, leaving audiences to wonder how the dynamic between Eddie and Venom will come to its ultimate resolution.
“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,” reads the official longline for the movie.
Who Is Knull in ‘Venom 3’?
Knull is one of Marvel’s most ancient and terrifying villains, known as the God of Symbiotes. His origins trace back to a time before the universe existed. As the creator of the symbiotes — the alien race that Venom belongs to — Knull has unmatched power and is capable of controlling any symbiote he created. His existence threatens not only Venom but all other symbiotes, making him the ultimate nemesis.
Though the details about who will portray Knull in the film remain a mystery, his presence in Venom: The Last Dance sets the stage for a monumental battle. The trailer shows only a fleeting image of Knull, as he looks down at his clawed hand, surrounded by swirling symbiotes. This tantalizing glimpse has left fans eagerly anticipating the final showdown.
Tom Hardy, who plays Eddie Brock and voices Venom, has teased that Venom 3 will leave a lasting impact on fans. “It’s the last one, and we want to go out with a bang and lay the foundations for optionality and possibilities because it’s been such a great ride,” he told Forbes in June 2024.
The Cast of Venom: The Last Dance
In addition to Hardy, Venom: The Last Dance boasts a stellar cast, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Rhys Ifans, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. Fans of both Marvel and DC universes will recognize Rhys Ifans, who previously played Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. The Lizard) in The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
With this incredible lineup and the introduction of Knull, Venom: The Last Dance is shaping up to be a thrilling finale that could redefine Eddie Brock and Venom’s legacy in the Marvel universe.
A Final Farewell?
Hardy has hinted that this may be the final chapter for Eddie and Venom, but he also left the door open for future possibilities within the Marvel world. Whether this film marks the end of Venom’s journey or opens the door for new adventures, one thing is certain — fans can expect an unforgettable experience as Venom: The Last Dance hits theaters.
