Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote, Venom, will hit the silver screen again later this year. The monstrous bond between humans and the extraterrestrial life form first slithered its way into the hearts of audiences in 2018.
The wide fanfare of the movie spawned a trilogy. The third and final movie, “Venom: The Last Dance” will be released in October this year. The movie was earlier slated for a November release but had to shift its schedule for one obvious reason.
Venom 3 Release Date Was Reportedly Changed Due to US Elections
Originally slated for a November 8 release, Venom: The Last Dance is hitting the theatres sooner than expected with an October 25 release date. While official channels haven’t confirmed the reason behind the move, speculation points towards a strategic decision to avoid the storm of the 2024 US Presidential elections.
Release dates are a very crucial factor for any movie to maximize its commercial reception. Reports claim that the movie shifted its release date to avoid being overshadowed by the elections. With the polls happening on November 5th, the movie might be aiming for a pre-election release to capture more audience attention and avoid getting lost in the election noise.
What To Expect From Venom: The Last Dance?
Venom 3 is officially titled Venom: The Last Dance capping off the Sony trilogy. The movie is shrouded in secrecy, but rumors offer some cool hints. The title suggests this might be the end of the road for Eddie Brock and his symbiotic partner.
Juno Temple from Maleficent has been cast in a lead role in the movie alongside other talented names like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Clark Backo. And of course, Tom Hardy will grace the screen with his presence.
Further, characters from Morbius, Kraven the Hunter, and Madame Web can pop up in the movie to further build the Sony Spider-Man Universe. Finally, with two films under its belt, The Last Dance is expected to answer lingering questions. What’s the true story of Venom’s origins? What’s Eddie’s fate, and how will the symbiote continue to impact their world?
Only time will tell what Venom: The Last Dance has in store, but one thing’s for sure: it’s bound to be a thrilling conclusion (or exciting new chapter) for this fan-favorite duo.
