Venom: The Last Dance takes a nostalgic journey in the final trailer

If you had any doubts that the third Poison The film should actually The last dancethe final trailer is set to Cat Stevens' Wild World, the wistfully nostalgic favorite of dads everywhere. And in case you had any doubts Poison is a superhero movie – that would be weird, but if you did doubt – the world is facing another threat of apocalyptic proportions. The marketing for this film, which premieres on October 25, really wants to emphasize that the end of this trilogy is really the end.

According to the synopsis, “Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both their worlds and with the web closing in, the duo is forced to make a devastating decision that will bring down the curtain on Venom and Eddie's final dance.” This trailer makes it perfectly clear: If Eddie (Tom Hardy) and the symbiote stay together, the world will not survive. (Keyword: nostalgia trip with clips from the other Poison Adventure!) But they need each other and promise to stay together “until the end,” no matter that the creepy, anonymous, long-haired alien creator of the symbiotes is after them and ready to destroy the Earth in the process.

As we have already discussed, Venom: The Last Dance is much more closely connected to the Marvel multiverse than the other two parts. An earlier trailer revealed the results of this Spider-Man: No Way Home Mid-credits scene where Eddie accidentally left a tiny piece of a symbiote on Earth-616. Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays a high-ranking, top-secret military leader in this universe, showed up in 616 to take this symbiote away. But there is another connection to Peter Parker in the form of Rhys Ifans, who played Lizard in the series led by Andrew Garfield. The Amazing Spiderman and appeared in No way home. Is he, like Eijofor (who also plays Karl Modo in 616), playing a completely new and distinct character? Or is the double-casting of Marvel villains intentional and the whole thing some kind of multiversal mindfuck? Ifans' one line doesn't give much of a clue, but is a suitably vague piece of superhero advice: “There comes a time in every man's life when you have to make a sacrifice.”
