Venom: The Last Dance– with Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom – is new in cinemas. Does the film have an ending or post-credits scene that enriches the film?

Venom is of course a villain in Marvels Spider-Man universe, but is more of an anti-hero in Hardy's film adaptation of the character. Venom: The Last Dance is the third film in Hardy's series about the alien symbiote, following the 2018 film Poison and 2021 Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

The logline for Venom: The Last Dance reads: “Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both worlds and as the web tightens, the duo are forced to make a devastating decision that brings down the curtain on Venom and Eddie’s final dance.”

Venom: The Last Dance will be shown in previews on Thursday and will be released in theaters nationwide on Friday.

Rated PG-13, Venom: The Last Dance Written and directed by Kelly Marcel; Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stephen Graham and Rhys Ifans also star. The latter member of the cast, oddly enough, plays the role of a hippie Area 51 enthusiast named Martin, having played Curt Conners/The Lizard in a previous film Spider-Man Films.

Andy Serkis also stars Venom: The Last Dance in the performance capture role of Knull – also known as the King in Black – who is imprisoned on Klyntar, the planet of symbiotes. To free himself from his captivity, Knull must seize the Codex – a key to his freedom that exists within Venom and his host Eddie – and sends Klyntar symbiotes to Earth to retrieve him.

What do the end credits of “Venom: The Last Dance” mean for the future of Venom?

In general, end credits or post-credits scenes serve one of two functions: Regardless of where they appear, the scenes typically tie up loose ends from an earlier scene or foreshadow a possible sequel.

The practice of end credits or post-credits scenes is, of course, most common in comic book films, as several Marvel and DC Comics characters have been developed into franchises. Actually both Poison And Poison: Let there be a bloodbath had post-credits scenes.

It's not surprising Venom: The Last Dance continues the tradition and has both an end-credits scene and a post-credits scene. However, no scene suggests another Poison The film has been in the works ever since Venom: The Last Dance was advertised as the third and presumably final film for Hardy as the character.

Instead, a scene appears in the middle of the credits Venom: The Last Dance suggests that Venom's nemesis in the film, Knull, could continue his reign of terror in the film Spider-Man Universe.

I think he would have eliminated Venom, Knull – and shows his face for the first time Venom: The Last Dance Since it's been kept quiet throughout the film, in the end credits scene he menacingly roars that he's going to kill the Earth and everyone will watch it burn.

Afterwards, during the post-credits scene, the action returns to a decimated Area 51 – the main setting of Venom: The Last Dance– where a spark in a broken lab tube suggests that a symbiote still exists after the events of the third act, as they were all thought to have been destroyed.

The only character from Venom: The Last Dance The scene features the film's unnamed bartender (Cristo Fernández), who escapes from the prison where he was being held in the former government laboratory and flees Area 51 on foot.

As for Venom's future, while it's been made clear that there are no more solo films in the works for the character, it's always possible that he returns as a supporting actor. There's something telling about a line near the end of the film in which Venom says to Eddie, “Goodbye, for now” – a reference to the words spoken to Eddie/Venom by Martin (Rhys Ifans) earlier in the film.

After all, “Venom,” like “Spider-Man,” is Sony Pictures Entertainment’s big screen release, so the idea that the alien symbiote could appear in a future arose Spider-Man The film seems completely within reason.

Venom: The Last Dance will be shown in previews on Thursday before hitting theaters nationwide on Friday.
