A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise made its way through production last year, shutting down for several months along the way due to the Screen Actors Guild strike. The film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, reached theatres back in October and has earned over $472 million at the global box office… making it the least successful entry in the franchise, since Venom made $856 million and Venom: Let There Be Carnage made $501 million. It has been given a digital release as of today, December 10th – but if you’re holding out for the physical media release, you don’t have long to wait. Venom: The Last Dance will be reaching 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 21st, and copies are available for pre-order on Amazon!
Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Venom: The Last Dance are also being packaged together in a 4K trilogy box set, and the 3-movie collection comes with a collectible Venom action figure! That box set can be pre-ordered HERE.
The first Venom was scripted by Jeff Pinker, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel. Ruben Fleischer directed that film, which made $856 million. But then Fleischer turned his focus to making Zombieland: Double Tap and Uncharted – so Andy Serkis took over as director on Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Which was written by Kelly Marcel, working from a story she crafted with star Tom Hardy. That sequel earned $506 million at the pandemic era global box office. Serkis said he would be glad to return to the helm for a follow-up – but when Venom 3 actually did come up, he opted to focus on other projects instead. So Venom: The Last Dance marks the feature directorial debut of Kelly Marcel. She also wrote the screenplay, based (again) on a story she crafted with Hardy.
Here is the official synopsis from the studio: In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
Hardy reprised the role of Eddie Brock / Venom for this sequel, and he is joined in the cast by Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Clark Backo (Letterkenny), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). Plus, Serkis shows up as Knull, the God of the Symbiotes.
4K and Blu-ray copies of Venom: The Last Dance are supposed to have the following special features: – Deleted & Extended Scenes – Venomous Laughs: Outtakes & Bloopers – Bonded in Chaos: Tom Hardy – Author of Mayhem: From Writer to Director – Venom’s Inner Circle – Venom Unleashed: The Action & Stunts – Select Scene PreVis – One Last Dance – Tom Morello x Grandson Music Video – Savor the Last Bite: The Venom Legacy – Brock Bottom: Mrs. Chen Interview. Only a few of those made it onto the DVD.
