In Venom: The Last Dance, the story gets intense, especially as it wraps up with big surprises and action-packed scenes. The film builds on the existing Venom universe and teases what could come next, possibly setting up future movies or storylines.
The main character, Doctor Pain, has an interesting and sad story. Throughout the movie, she feels connected to the symbiote creatures because of the pain of losing her brother. This deep sorrow motivates her actions. In the final moments, she tries to save her colleague, realizing that the explosion could be deadly. At this point, her symbiote transforms, giving her super speed, which is surprising because that’s not a common power in the comics.
In the comics, her symbiote is called Agony, known for using acid as a weapon rather than super speed. But in the movie, she’s given this new ability, possibly hinting that Sony might want to expand the Venom universe with her as a key character.
Rex Strickland also has a big moment in the movie. His character has always wanted to stop the symbiotes, especially Venom, to end the chaos brought by the Klyntar race and the powerful being known as Knull. In the end, Rex sacrifices himself by using acid to destroy Venom and the other symbiotes, hoping to put an end to the danger. His story seems finished, but in the comics, Rex’s consciousness survives, even after his death, so there’s a chance he could return in a future film.
A major part of the story introduces the concept of the Codex, which is important in the comics. The Codex is like a memory chip left in a human body after a symbiote bond breaks. It holds the memories and experiences of the host and can connect to the Hive Mind, a shared consciousness of all symbiotes. In the movie, Knull, the dark god of the symbiotes, needs the Codex to escape his prison, a planet made by his own creations to keep him locked up. The film explains that Knull’s prison can only be unlocked using the Codex, making it a crucial plot device.
As for Eddie Brock and Venom, their story seems to have come to an end. Eddie is shown alive in New York, which opens up possibilities for him to meet Spider-Man, given that Spider-Man also lives there. The movie hints that Eddie might get a job at the Daily Bugle, which would be a fun nod to the comics. While Venom is thought to be dead, it’s clear that he could return, especially since the Codex and Hive Mind connections leave room for more storytelling.
The post-credits scene teases something huge. We see Knull, who is still trapped, vowing to destroy the world when he finally gets free. It’s a scary moment because Knull is an incredibly powerful villain.
There’s also a scene with a broken vial that might contain a small piece of Venom. This piece is likely going to bond with a cockroach, setting up Venom’s return in some form.
The movie leaves many questions unanswered, like whether Knull will escape his prison and how Eddie’s future will unfold. It gives a sense of closure but also leaves the door open for more adventures.
Fans are eager to see if Eddie and Venom will meet Spider-Man in future movies or if the story will take an even darker turn with Knull’s threat.
Overall, Venom: The Last Dance is full of action, emotional moments, and hints for what could happen next in the Venom universe.
