After watching Venom 3, many fans are wondering whether The Last Dance is the last movie for the infamous symbiote. Will Tom Hardy return for Venom 4 in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe? Here’s all you need to know about the future possibilities of Venom and Eddie.
Is Venom: The Last Dance the final movie or will there be a Part 4?
At the moment of writing, no official plans for a Venom 4 have been revealed by Sony. Furthermore, Venom 3’s title, multiple hints dropped by Tom Hardy in the past, and the film’s ending have all suggested that The Last Dance could be the last solo Venom movie.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Hardy stated that he and director Kelly Marcell gave this film all they had. His comments suggested that he is satisfied with Venom: The Last Dance, his final solo outing in the SSU. He said, “Everything in the kitchen sink that we wanted [to give] time allocated [is] in this movie. This is the purest version of Kelly and I together.”
However, he has shown a willingness to take on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. So, he could return for that. But he also confirmed not having a role in MCU’s Spider-Man 4, as he hasn’t received a script for that. Additionally, the ending of The Last Dance likely brings the Venom trilogy to a fitting end.
In the final act, Venom saved Eddie and took the Xenophages down while sacrificing himself to keep Knull trapped on Klyntar. Eddie said goodbye to his friend and got closure, truly making this Venom’s last dance. So, it is highly likely that there won’t be a Venom 4 unless The Last Dance becomes almost as profitable as the first film, which made $856 million. Then, Sony might be inclined to do another solo Venom movie.
There could still be multiple ways to bring Venom back from the dead. However, crossover events like Spider-Man vs. Venom, Avengers: Secret Wars, or a Sinister Six movie set in the SSU would be far likelier than another solo Venom movie.
