Speaking at the New York Comic Con 2024 panel on Venom: The Last Dance, both writer/director Kelly Marcel and lead actor (and co-writer) Tom Hardy confirmed that the new movie will mark the end of the Venom storyline.
“This is the last Venom movie,” Marcel said definitively. “We always wanted to tell Eddie and Venom’s story in three movies, and the arc for Venom and Eddie closes here.”
“I would never say never [on fighting Spider-Man],” Hardy acknowledged, “but as Kelly says, we specifically set up to create Venom and to bring him into a movie format, and that’s what we’ve done. And The Last Dance is the last piece within that trilogy, and we’re super excited by it.”
Having said that, Marcel also acknowledged, “As you know, there are lots of symbiote stories in the canon, so there’s lots of places to go.” And she noted that she wasn’t speaking entirely in hypotheticals: “Maybe there are even a few Easter eggs in here that might start that journey off.”
