Venom 3, officially titled Venom: The Last Dance, will hit theaters later this year. With a few months to go, Sony Pictures will soon start promoting the film and release the first trailer.
Venom: The Last Dance’s first trailer has just been classified by the BBFC (British Board Film of Classification) on May 30. The upcoming film, which is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, has been rated 15 (which is the UK equivalent of an R-Rated film), a big difference from the first two installments. On top of that, the website also reveals the length of the first trailer, which has been disclosed as 2 min and 27 seconds.
Although Sony Pictures or BBFC haven’t revealed an official release date for the first trailer yet. However, movie insider @Cryptic4KQual and other internet reports teased that the trailer is set for release sometime next week. The trailer will reportedly be shown before Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
Venom: The Last Dance will wrap up the trilogy featuring Eddie Brock and his symbiotic alien. The film will have Kelly Marcel at the helm, who wrote the script alongside franchise star Tom Hardy. The last installment will see several characters return, with Hardy as the lead, but also feature some new faces like Juno Temple, Clark Backo (Supernatural), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange). Michelle Williams isn’t officially confirmed to return, but she’s expected to reprise her role as Anne Weying, a.k.a. She-Venom.
Venom 3’s Plot Isn’t Yet Confirmed, But We Might Know Who the Villain Is
Not long ago, a crew member posted a photo showing a ballcap and a T-shirt with the Venom logo as a gift for the stunt team. The cap shows Venom’s face with green-colored scratch marks, while the “e” from Venom is turned into a 3, also green. This led fans to believe that the upcoming villain of the last film will be the symbiote Lasher. So far, there’s no confirmation about the plot or the villain.
While there has been some chatter that Venom might join the MCU, so far, the only confirmation there is that Venom: The Last Dance is the last solo film for the anti-hero. At least for now. “These things [usually] come in threes,” Hardy previously told Digital Spy in 2021. “I think it’s really important, if you go into something, thinking that one, two and three are the same…the same story, the same film. So that you don’t surprise yourself by being caught out by suddenly having to do a third from nowhere.”
“There’s got to be some continuity into a third and fourth and fifth, and if somebody says ‘no’, that’s fine. Let it go, and you move on to something else,” he concluded.
Venom: The Last Dance will screen in premium large formats and IMAX when it hits theaters on Oct. 25, 2024.
