The hype for Tom Hardy’s third outing as Venom has reached a fever pitch with the release of the trailer for “Venom. The Last Dance.” But amidst the grotesque action and humorous antics. And the eagle-eyed fans spotted a detail that throws a wrench into previously speculated plans with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Eddie Brock’s Multiversal Mishap
The groundwork potential symbiote smackdown between Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Hardy’s Venom was laid out in the post-credits scenes of the preceding Venom films. But the audiences hanging with a bewildered Eddie Brock and a curious Venom seemingly transported into the MCU. And Venom fixated on a glimpse of Spider-Man on a television screen.
Then, in a twist during “Spider-Man, No Way Home’s” post-credits scene. And we see Brock enjoying a drink with a bartender played by Cristo Fernández. Just as he starts learning about the MCU’s heavy hitters from Thanos to Iron Man. Brock is yanked back to his own universe, inadvertently leaving a piece of the symbiote behind in the MCU.
The New Trailer and the Sony-MCU Disconnect
Here’s things get interesting. The new trailer for “Venom: The Last Dance” features Chiwetel Ejiofor. And MCU audiences will recognize him as Mordo, the sorcerer from “Doctor Strange,” collecting the leftover symbiote sample from the very same bar scene we saw in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” This has set the internet buzzing with confusion. Mordo is a confirmed character within the MCU, so his presence in a Sony-produced film raises a multitude of questions:
- Is this a new variant of Mordo existing in a separate universe entirely, or is this a continuity error?
- Does this scene signify that Sony has decided to scrap plans for integrating with the MCU. And leaving fans wondering about the future of the budding crossover?
- Could this be a hint that Marvel Studios will take the reins and introduce their own version of Venom entirely, separate from Tom Hardy’s portrayal?
The Future of Holland’s Spider-Man: A Missed Opportunity for the Black Suit Saga?
The trailer casts a shadow of doubt on the possibility of the upcoming Spider-Man movie incorporating the fan-favorite black-suited Spidey storyline, which often heavily involves the symbiote. With Sony seemingly pulling back from the MCU, fans left wondering if Marvel Studios will choose to forge their own path with the symbiote, potentially introducing their own version of Venom, or if they’ll simply keep Tom Holland’s Spider-Man universe free of the symbiote altogether.
Venom: The Last Dance – A Wild Ride Regardless
The trailer throws the MCU connection into question, one thing remains clear: “Venom: The Last Dance” promises to be a wild and entertaining ride. The trailer ends on a high note, showcasing a scene that is sure to leave audiences wanting more. We see Venom take over a horse, which then speeds off like a Ferrari before leaping off a cliff with Eddie Brock desperately clinging on for dear life. This outrageous scene exemplifies the brand of absurd, action-packed entertainment that audiences have come to expect from the Venom franchise.
Despite the confusion surrounding the MCU connection, “Venom: The Last Dance” is shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion to Tom Hardy’s tenure as the iconic anti-hero. Only time will tell what the future holds for Venom on the big screen, but one thing is certain: with a charismatic performance from Hardy and a healthy dose of over-the-top action, “Venom: The Last Dance” is poised to leave audiences thoroughly entertained.
Conclusion
“Venom: The Last Dance” trailer has ignited a firestorm of speculation and debate. While the film promises to be a thrilling and action-packed finale for Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Venom, the biggest takeaway lies in the severed connection to the MCU. The presence of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Mordo character throws a curveball at previously anticipated crossover plans.
And leaving fans to wonder about the future of both Venom and the black-suited Spider-Man storyline. Regardless of the MCU’s involvement, “Venom: The Last Dance” seems destined to deliver a satisfying conclusion for fans of the quirky and chaotic world of Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote companion.
