Let’s Talk About the Ending and End-Credits Scenes of Venom: The Last Dance

Venom: The Last Dance mightiness beryllium precisely that for this mentation of the character—but, surely, Venom volition unrecorded on. The film’s ending and end-credits scenes hint astatine where things mightiness go successful the aboriginal and, with the movie present successful theaters, it’s clip to speech each astir it. Major spoilers are below.

In the film’s large finale, Venom detaches himself from Eddie and dies, on with each the evil xenophages sent by Knull to secure the codex the brace are holding. With 1 of them (in this lawsuit Venom) dying, the codex erstwhile again goes distant and keeps Knull successful his unbreakable symbiote prison. Eddie past goes to New York, arsenic per their plan, and that’s that.

Or is it? We precise intelligibly spot that Juno Temple’s quality Dr. Teddy Payne survives and she inactive has a symbiote successful her. The movie benignant of explains the crushed Venom and Eddie clasp the codex is due to the fact that Venom utilized his powers to bring Eddie backmost to life, which was the cardinal to unlocking this peculiar codex. So, with a quality and symbiote inactive together, there’s the imaginable of a resurrection, and thereby a codex inactive exists. That gives anticipation to Knull, starring into that archetypal end-credit scene.

The archetypal end-credit country shows Knull inactive successful prison, promising to get retired and that the “world volition burn.” He past looks up, revealing his scary and menacing face. Basically, the country says adjacent though Venom: The Last Dance introduced this supervillain without truly utilizing him, he’s inactive connected the array and possibly we’ll spot him again successful the future.

That’s past followed by the film’s 2nd end-credit scene, which shows Cristo Fernández’s bartender quality escaping Area 55 aft the battle. Earlier successful the movie, this universe’s mentation of the quality was taken into custody but that communicative ne'er wraps up. Here it does, but not earlier we besides spot a portion of symbiote perchance going into a cockroach. Is that however Venom volition survive? Seems similar a possibility.

Basically, The Last Dance feels similar the past creation for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock but successful the infinite Marvel multiverse, determination are inactive symbiotes, inactive humans linked to symbiotes, and inactive an evil being that tin power oregon destruct immoderate of it.

Personally, I didn’t find the supra teases that compelling. The champion portion of Venom: The Last Dance‘s ending is the “Memories” by Maroon 5 montage showing Eddie reminiscing astir each the bully times with Venom. It’s a surprising, touching, and satisfying decision for this mentation of the character, 1 that is improbable to beryllium topped moving forward, adjacent with each the escaped ends.
