Summary:
- This new trailer has certainly stirred excitement and speculation among fans, promising an intriguing continuation of the Venom saga.
- Check out the trailer below to see the apparent retcon and prepare for the next chapter in Venom’s story.
In the post-credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie Brock was transported from his reality to Earth-616 (the Marvel Cinematic Universe).
His modest Mexico hotel room transformed into a luxurious resort, and the Venom Symbiote took a keen interest in a TV news report about Spider-Man. This set the stage for an anticipated meeting between the two characters, but Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded with Eddie never leaving his resort.
However, Venom did leave a piece of himself behind in Earth-616, sparking rumors that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker might get his own alien suit in Spider-Man 4. The new Venom: The Last Dance trailer, however, seems to contradict this setup.
Venom: The Last Dance Trailer Changes Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Ending
In Venom: The Last Dance trailer, Chiwetel Ejiofor‘s mystery villain is seen capturing the lone piece of Venom left behind in Earth-616, essentially retconning the post-credits scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
This twist has ignited fan discussions, reminiscent of the misleading Morbius trailer, which featured graffiti of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man that never appeared in the film.
The new trailer’s retcon raises questions about how Ejiofor’s character has the ability to travel between worlds, suggesting Sony might be backtracking to remove Venom from Earth-616.
The change is puzzling, especially given that Spider-Man: No Way Home’s ending left a piece of Venom for Peter Parker to potentially bond with.
With Eddie Brock back in his original universe, the retcon implies a different direction for Venom’s storyline, possibly eliminating any immediate crossover plans between Spider-Man and Venom.
This new development has left fans speculating about the future of these characters within the MCU and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
Impact on Future Spider-Man and Venom Crossovers
When Spider-Man: No Way Home was released, there was a possibility it could be Peter Parker’s final MCU appearance, potentially leading to scrapped plans for a Spider-Man/Venom crossover.
The apparent retcon in Venom: The Last Dance’s trailer could mean that those crossover plans have indeed been altered or abandoned.
The trailer also features The Amazing Spider-Man star Rhys Ifans, adding another layer of complexity to the storyline.
Venom: The Last Dance stars Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, Stephen Graham, and Rhys Ifans.
Directed by Kelly Marcel, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Hardy, the film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy, and Hutch Parker.
Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theaters on October 25.
