Venom 3: Every symbiote Confirmed (So Far!) For the Epic Finale!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage – A Symbiote Swarm Descends on Earth!

Sony's Venom movies have unleashed a whole bunch of alien symbiotes on unsuspecting Earthlings. We are talking everything beyond Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and his special black and white symbiote, this entire franchise has explored other amazing symbiotes, expanding the storyline for this interesting movie franchise; from the very beginning. The entire Venom movie series – which began in 2018 and continues with the upcoming Venom: The Last Dance (October 25, 2024)—has dramatically expanded the lore for these alien creatures who have found their way to Earth. Let's be real – this entire thing involves a significant amount of invasion from various alien creatures!

These symbiotes? They're from Klyntar, and they aim to consume worlds and bond with unsuspecting humans (and other creatures too). We see how things developed– from the original movie's Life Foundation to brand new ones revealed in the Venom 3 trailer–things only got more insane! Get ready, this article covers every symbiote (revealed so far). Spoiler warning – this article covers many spoilers!

Venom, the most famous symbiote of all, arrived via a crashing spaceship that carried a collection of symbiotes, originally captured by that now infamous Life Foundation. The symbiote bonded with journalist Eddie Brock and prevented Riot (another symbiote) from escaping. They later defeated Carnage, only to get involved in that incredibly short stint into the MCU (courtesy of Spider-Man: No Way Home)! He's back in Venom 3, causing major chaos, adding various animals that also get attached; meaning the level design has been updated for Venom 3. Those include venomized frogs and horses which really sound weird and could add interesting scenes!

Riot: The First Symbiote Threat!

Riot, the silver symbiote, is the main villain from that initial Venom movie. Escaping the Life Foundation's clutches after its original crash landing, he teamed up with that truly awful villain Carlton Drake.  Their goals are closely tied– this shared goal resulted in intense conflict. He got destroyed; ultimately a pretty bad ending for the main villain from the first installment!

She-Venom: Anne Weying's Dual Identity

Anne Weying (Eddie Brock's ex) also bonds with Venom, becoming She-Venom. She’s done it several times already! That close symbiosis made it clear the connection wasn't impossible – she became super useful to Eddie! And yes, despite Venom’s desire for another encounter she totally rejected the proposal in Venom: Let There Be Carnage! It’s entirely unclear if She-Venom might return in Venom 3.

Carnage: The Monstrous Spawn of Venom

Carnage first appears as a sneak peek in the original film and later debuts as the main villain in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It emerges after Venom lays some eggs. They bond with the incredibly dangerous Cletus Kasady, this insanely powerful pairing makes a scary, intense plot. Later conflicts however result in Venom consuming that terrible spawn, creating this satisfying ending.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage teases the next threat,  Toxin!  In the comics, Patrick Mulligan is the first host.  His glowing eyes in Venom 3’s trailer suggest the arrival of this dangerous new threat; making an interesting sequel arc which develops an extremely critical aspect which is developed fully throughout Venom 3. He’s likely about to bond.

Remember that whole Life Foundation experiment?   Besides Venom and Riot, they tried using some other symbiotes (yellow and blue). Those things never bonded properly and resulted in many dead victims and experiments resulting in more animals being used.

Government-Captured Symbiotes: A Venomized Army Awaits!

That first Venom 3 trailer showed a huge change that greatly elevates those already high stakes. This government-funded organization had managed to capture some really amazing specimens.   It shows parts of Venom (presumably after the MCU visit). Based on those images we’re likely to see somewhere around four to six contained symbiotes. These could be those AgonyPhageLasher, and Scream symbiotes.  It could also just be all new, unseen things! All that really matters however, these things are extremely likely to be actively pursued during the remainder of the movie and this entire arc is likely going to be one of the most intensely action-focused sections from Venom 3!

Klyntar Attacks: A Symbiote Invasion Looms!

The ending scenes of that Venom 3 trailer, reveal something pretty terrifying.   Klyntar,  Venom's home planet, actually arrives on Earth—bringing some serious trouble. Those massive amounts of symbiotes threaten an overwhelming invasion; meaning an even bigger fight, with plenty of amazing possibilities! And this invasion leads to the introduction of Knull – the creator and perhaps one of the most powerful beings across all of Venom's lore!

Conclusion: Get Ready For a Symbiote Showdown Like No Other!

Venom 3 promises a crazy conclusion to that symbiote trilogy. Lots of unseen and incredibly deadly alien threats will completely redefine those existing limitations that the prior movie might've explored. There’s plenty more unseen monsters which would create some interesting dynamics and moments of intense violence, with Eddie Brock and Venom facing their toughest challenge ever. The sheer volume and power contained here creates another of those incredibly satisfying events and experiences for the audience.
