The Venom franchise continues its symbiotic journey with the upcoming film Venom: The Last Dance. Fans of Eddie Brock and Venom have been eagerly anticipating the next chapter after the success of Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021). Here’s everything we know so far about the release date, cast, trailer, and what might unfold in the next installment of this dark Marvel universe.
Venom: The Last Dance Release Date
While Sony has not confirmed the official release date for Venom: The Last Dance, rumors suggest it will hit theaters sometime in 2025. With Sony’s slate of Marvel-related films like Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web lined up, Venom is expected to follow shortly. Given the three-year gap between previous entries, a mid-to-late 2025 release would align with the production timeline of the Venom series.
Who’s in the Cast?
Fans can count on the return of Tom Hardy, who will reprise his role as Eddie Brock/Venom. Hardy has been the heart of the franchise, masterfully portraying the duality of the struggling journalist and his alien symbiote counterpart.
- Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom: Hardy’s intense and humorous portrayal is one of the franchise’s highlights, and his return is eagerly awaited.
- Michelle Williams as Anne Weying: Brock’s ex-fiancée and She-Venom, who briefly bonded with Venom in previous films.
- Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady / Carnage: Though Carnage perished in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, there’s always a chance he could reappear, either through flashbacks or multiversal hijinks.
- Stephen Graham as Patrick Mulligan: His transformation into Toxin, another powerful symbiote, was teased at the end of the last movie. He could play a more central role in Venom: The Last Dance.
There may also be new characters joining the fray, with speculation that other symbiotes or Marvel characters could make appearances. There’s been particular buzz about the possibility of Spider-Man or additional symbiotes like Anti-Venom joining the storyline.
Story: Where Will the Plot Go?
While no plot details have been officially confirmed, the title Venom: The Last Dance hints at a potential climactic confrontation for Eddie Brock and Venom. The post-credits scene from Let There Be Carnage teased a possible crossover with Spider-Man, suggesting that the multiverse might play a role in the upcoming film.
With Patrick Mulligan on the verge of becoming Toxin, The Last Dance could see Venom facing off against his fellow symbiotes in a battle for dominance. The film could also explore more of Venom’s origins and expand the symbiote mythology introduced in previous films.

When Will the Trailer Drop?
No trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has been released yet. However, with the film slated for a 2025 release, fans can expect to see a teaser by the end of 2024. Sony has a pattern of dropping trailers roughly a year before the premiere, so we may not have to wait too long for our first look at the symbiote’s return.
What to Expect
Given the success of the first two films, Venom: The Last Dance will likely continue to balance its signature blend of chaotic action, dark humor, and the evolving relationship between Eddie and Venom. Fans can look forward to more intense symbiote battles, potential multiverse crossovers, and a deeper dive into the mythology of the symbiotes.
Sony’s Spider-Man universe continues to expand with films like Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web in the pipeline, so Venom: The Last Dance might play an important role in linking these stories together. Could this be the moment when Venom and Spider-Man finally share the screen?
Final Thoughts
While much about Venom: The Last Dance remains a mystery, there’s no doubt that it will be one of Sony’s biggest superhero films when it finally releases. The return of Tom Hardy, potential new villains, and a more connected multiverse storyline all point to an exciting chapter in Eddie Brock’s symbiotic saga.
