Tom Hardy’s dedication to Eddie Brock is admirable. Hardy is clearly passionate about the Venom series, but the previous two films were too hit and miss for me. Venom (2018) was decent at best. Venom: Let There Be Carnage peaked and fell off of a cliff after Carnage escaped from prison. The Spider-Man tease in the mid-credits for the long awaited confrontation between Venom and Spider-Man was the only truly memorable moment in Let There Be Carnage.
A good trailer for The Last Dance, featuring a lot the over the top wackiness (a symbiote horse!) you’d expect from the Venom films. Mrs. Chen is back for a few good laughs, and I’m wondering if Rhys Ifans appearance is somehow connected to Lizard from 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man? Possibly a special cameo or a little nod to Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man films, because I highly doubt Ifans having a part in a Venom film is just a mere coincidence.
One thing I’ll say about The Last Dance is, they did a great job of hyping up the high stakes and selling the storyline for Eddie and Venom’s possible last hurrah. I don’t have big expectations for this one, but hopefully they’ll finally hit a home run for Venom’s final standalone film.
