Venom: The Last Dance

Summary

The first trailer for Sony ’s non - MCUMarvel movie , Venom : The Last Dance , is finally here , and a popular hypothesis explains why Eddie and Venom should be terrified of the project ’s monstrous villain . WhileVenom : Let There Be Carnagewas upfront about who the film ’s opponent would be , the next Venom project inthe growing Sony Spider - Man Universeis keeping more of its story under wrap . While it ’s been made clear that this will be the last Venom movie in this partake universe , rumors have play rearing around details followingVenom : The Last Dance ’s exciting debut trailer .

While there are peck of question about how Eddie ’s brief fourth dimension in the MCU will affect him orif the Sony Spider - Man Universe will ever in reality get a Spider - Man , attention has been rightfully take up to what exactly the hideous monstrosity is see battling Venom in the trailer . While nothing is sealed at this point , it does n’t seem to be another symbiote . However , even symbiotes have something to be afraid of lurking in the wide universe of the Marvel Universe .

The two most compelling hypothesis for Spider - Man ’s future tense in both the MCU and the SSU have been bushwhack by the lagger for Venom : The Last Dance .

Venom 3’s Monstrous Villain Could Be A Xenophage

Though theVenom : The Last Dancetrailerdoes sport a shot of several un - bonded symbiotes in a research laboratory , the many - legged and penetrative - toothed monster that debut in the back one-half of the footage does n’t seem to resemble other symbiotes that have been seen , like Venom , Riot ( the first picture show ’s villain ) , or Carnage . This creature is much more dirt ball or crustacean - like in appearance , and it seems to have more of a clear-cut " aspect . " As such , the design much more close resembles Marvel ’s Xenophages , a terrifying alien race that should give Venom cause for business organisation .

So far , both Venom picture have sport another symbiote as the primary antagonist . While an alien beast is n’t too unlike , let Venom fight a Xenophage would at least nullify iterate the exact same villain setup a third time . Beyond just looking like the monster in the trailer , Xenophages make sense narratively , too . In Marvel Comics , these creatures are lifelike predators of symbiotesand favor to dine on the brain of symbiote hosts . Moreover , the long someone has been bonded with a symbiote , the tastier their brain seemingly are . Given Eddie ’s tenure with Venom , both could be in serious fuss .

If theVenom : The Last Dancemonster is a Xenophage , it could also mean the trailer is intentionally misleading the hearing with another tale hook . Venom claim that his major planet has find out him before footage of the beast , imply the creature of Klyntar are hunt him . However , given that Xenophages prey on symbiotes , it ’s actually potential that his planet is reaching out with a monition or a asking for help instead of trying to kill Venom .

Xenophages Make Way More Sense Than The Other Leading Venom 3 Theory

TheVenom : The Last Dancetrailer does set precedence for symbiotes bond with non - human beings , so it is potential that the beast is a symbiote bonded with an alien of some sort . However , the other leading hypothesis is that the wight may be the SSU ’s rendering of Grendel . Grendel is a millennium - old tartar - alike symbiote tight tie to the symbiote god , Knull . Hardy did mention 2 old age ago wanting to get Grendel intoVenom : The Last Dance , but it just does n’t quite add up . They do n’t look awfully standardized visually , but it ’s more that Grendel would likely signal a storyVenom 3doesn’t seem positioned to tell .

Grendel , in and of itself , is a visually interesting and powerful villain , butthe creature is most interesting as a harbinger of Knull . Knull , a cosmic effect elderly than the universe of discourse who make the symbiotes , would be an interesting opposer for a pic , but he would absolutely want a full story all to himself . GivenVenom : The Last Dance ’s laggard does n’t sport or advert Knull at all , his inclusion body seems unlikely - perhaps outside a evanesce Easter egg .

How Xenophages Could Fit Into Venom 3’s Story

If a Xenophage is indeed what ’s trace Venom / Eddie , it seems to set up two major storyline possibilities for the distich . The first , as implied in the trailer , is that Klyntar has indeed found Venom and is out for blood . If so , Venom : The Last Dancecould be setting up a four - way third - act brawl between Eddie / Venom and their allies , Chiwetel Ejiofor and Juno Temple ’s unrevealed character , the symbiotes of Klyntar , and the Xenophage . There ’s a lot kick the bucket on there , but it could be an exiting possibleness if the third Venom movie want to up the stakes and deliver its biggest climactic fight yet .

The other possibility , as observe above , is that interview will be treated to a symbiote vs Xenophage fight with Venom at last sustain others of his kind on his side . It ’s potential Klyntar is sending help instead of incompatible symbiotes to make a final stand against their predators , and it ’s possible that the mysterious lab - contained symbiotes link , too . Moreover , Detective Mulligan was teased to at long last become Toxin at the remnant ofVenom : Let There Be Carnage , so he could de a powerful friend for Venom and Eddie .

Whatever happens , anticipation is mellow for finding out what exactlyVenom : The Last Dancewill oppose its nominal heroes up against . There are plenty of other mysteries put forward by the trailer , like whether Rhys Ifans is play Curt Connors and how the picture apparently hold a scene set up in the MCU , but those may not become clear until the movie releases . Whatever chance , this is Hardy ’s last film as Venom , so here ’s to hoping thatVenom : The Last Dancecan deliver a story beseem this unique take on Spider - Man lore .
