Duo on the run

THE final instalment of the 2018 Venom movie franchise, Venom: The Last Dance, is out now in theatres.

The comic-based franchise follows investigative journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) who gains superpowers after becoming a host of alien symbiote (extraterrestrial parasite) Venom whose species aims to invade Earth.

Taking place after Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), the third movie follows the duo on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds, they are forced into a devastating decision and bring the curtains down as they embark on their final adventure together.

Marking her directorial debut, Kelly Marcel wrote both previous Venom movies before she stepped into the director’s role for the finale.

“Eddie and Venom are fugitives in this movie, far away from San Francisco and everyone they’ve ever known,” Kelly said.

“Pursued by multiple adversaries, they’re now all the other has,” she added.

As the character is considered an iconic rival of Spider-Man, Venom Spidey fans have been holding onto the hope of finally seeing the two (or three!) fight each other on the big screen for the current franchise.

Speculation was spread around the dream grand finale as viral set photos revealed Eddie roaming the streets of New York, Peter Parker’s hometown.

However, when asked about it, actor Tom did not provide a clear statement.

“There are always possibilities, but I couldn’t possibly say anything because this is the last movie, I would love that,” he said.
