While Madame Web failed to catch traction with audiences, we’re not done with Sony’s Spider-Man Universe on the 2024 release schedule just yet. Kraven the Hunter is next up, and after that, Venom 3 will close the franchise out for the year. Well, refer to it as Venom 3 no longer, as the Tom Hardy-led threequel now has an official title. As a bonus, the upcoming superhero movie is also hitting the silver screen sooner than expected.
Sony Pictures has announced that the third Venom movie has been titled Venom: The Last Dance. Additionally, the movie, which is being distributed by Columbia Pictures, has moved from November 8, 2024 to October 25, 2024, and it will screen in premium large formats and IMAX. Given that the last two Venom movies also opened in October, this is a fitting date shift, especially since it’s right before Halloween. Now The Last Dance will face Wolf Man and Terrifier 3 as opening weekend competition.
Naturally going with a title like Venom: The Last Dance leads one to wonder if Sony Pictures is looking to wrap things up for Eddie Brock and his symbiote pal. While neither of the previous Venom movies were met with a lot of positive critical reception (CinemaBlend has been among their detractors, as seen in our Venom review and Let There be Carnage review), both were financial successes, with Venom making over $856 million worldwide and Let There be Carnage making nearly $507 million worldwide. So it’s no surprise Sony greenlit a third entry, but maybe the studio has decided it’s time to bring this film series to a close.
More to come…
