Venom: Let There Be Carnage: A Thrilling End to a Symbiote Saga!
Venom: The Last Dance – A Fitting Farewell (With a Few Surprises!)
Venom: The Last Dance (aka Venom 3), directed by Kelly Marcel and starring the amazing Tom Hardy, delivers a powerful conclusion to this symbiote trilogy. The movie gives both Eddie Brock and Venom satisfying conclusions; and even includes post-credit scenes hinting at future possibilities and those surprises that fans adore and which leaves those audiences entirely energized and asking many key questions about how things might just go in later installations within Sony's own Spider-Man Universe!
The storyline itself involves Venom stopping Knull (Andy Serkis), the symbiote creator, from escaping his prison and plunging everything into the Void. It is very exciting; however, this setup brings about those crucial final choices, ending with a sacrifice, saving Eddie but promising the universe's dangers. These post-credits scenes leave some very strong openings for a potentially intense follow up!
The Mid-Credits Scene: Knull's Return and a Promise of Future Chaos!
The mid-credits scene gives us this chilling tease! Knull's escape isn't over. He declares victory following Venom’s demise! The King in Black remains a major force (as Kelly Marcel pointed out to IGN) promising far more battles; showcasing Knull’s importance in Marvel's future, hinting at various opportunities to have crossovers, which many fans await. The vast power presented could lead to future collaborations within Sony's own movie universe; potentially including some seriously massive events! Some potential characters could include: Kraven (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Agony (Juno Temple), Morbius (Jared Leto), the three Spider-Women (Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor), and Madame Web (Dakota Johnson)! Even more is possible!
The Post-Credits Scene: Venom’s Resurrection?
This ending gives us more ambiguity! Venom, being capable of shedding small fragments earlier in the movie– we saw one fragment in Spider-Man: No Way Home – makes that comeback believable! A cockroach discovers this discarded fragment touching Agony; reviving Venom through an electrical shock! The symbolic use is not to be understated! A cockroach? Showing the potential resilience inherent in symbiotes! It adds a powerful narrative detail; creating a completely separate path, distinct and totally unexpected! This could totally lead to other interesting iterations – with someone else becoming Agent Venom. Agent Thompson's leg injury— he has no lines and his face remains hidden – directly calls to mind Flash Thompson (Agent Venom) in comics, promising an exciting potential change! This shows very creative plot decisions.
Tom Hardy and Kelly Marcel: A Hand-in-Hand Farewell
Director Kelly Marcel and Tom Hardy's comments emphasize the close collaborative approach in writing and production, focusing on the key bond built across these many movies. And both of these incredibly prominent individuals have had these kind of shared successes, and that continued development; really adding great insights for all those fans following the development and storyline, and this collaboration becomes important! The emphasis on collaboration also shows the great insight that made those crucial storytelling moments become a huge highlight. This bond, in terms of those shared emotional beats within this saga – these aspects made that ending incredibly potent, both visually and emotionally.
Spider-Man's Absence: A Calculated Choice?
Fans craved a Venom/Spider-Man face-off! Yet Spider-Man’s absence, despite past events in the wider continuity, showing his presence and emphasizing that those connections do actually matter. This shows some intelligence. It's actually fitting to conclude Venom's trilogy focusing entirely on that amazing core storyline!
Conclusion: Venom's Legacy: Ready for a New Chapter!
Venom: The Last Dance provides that superb final storyline; it’s a very emotional end and makes fans think deeply, those surprises make those viewers want more! While Knull's looming presence creates additional tension, it is Venom’s potential resurrection which presents so many questions and opens far greater possibilities. Even if Spider-Man's absence might disappoint some, it is completely appropriate for creating that epic storyline focusing only on Venom’s ending which is well-executed on a cinematic and narrative level!
