Yes, as the title suggests, Venom: The Last Dance it will be the last Venom movie Tom Hardy will be part of. This update was shared by Sony Motion Pictures Group president Tom Rothman, who said it would be the “third and final” installment.
Rothman went on to say that the film “is going to be huge,” but I want to point out that huge doesn’t mean good. I personally feel that Hardy, the creative team, and Sony executives dropped the ball on Venom and that this franchise should have been much more awesome than what we got. It was such wasted potential.
So, I’m happy that this iteration of the franchise is coming to an end. But it won’t be the last time we see Venom on the big screen. As this series is ending, we will see a new version of Venom enter the MCU, possibly with Spider-Man 4.
A piece of the symbiote was left in the MCU in the post-credits scene of Venom: Let there be carnage, and there are plans to play it. So, it makes sense that they would end one iteration of Venom to make room for a new one.
Venom: The Last Dance is directed by Kelly Marcel (Fifty Shades of Gray). He also wrote and produced the first two Venom films. The screenplay for this third film is based on a story he developed with Hardy.
There are no details to share regarding the story, but co-star Temple of Juno he joked: “I’m learning a lot. It’s fun and interesting because there are so many things that you film that when the movie finally comes out they will look different than how we were shooting them. I’m excited to see the creations that happen off camera too.”
Hardy also explained in a previous interview: “These things [usually] come three. If there is going to be a new one – and they are highly dependent on the success of each one, so you can’t count on them happening again – each one has to be as if it were the last.
“But I think it’s really important, if you go into something, to think that one, two and three are the same thing… the same story, the same movie. Lest you be surprised to suddenly have to make a third out of nothing.
“There has to be some continuity between third, fourth and fifth, and if someone says ‘no’, that’s fine. Let it go and you’ll move on to something else.”
The film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy PascalAND Hutch Parker.
Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theaters on October 25th.
