The third installment of the hit “Venom” franchise officially has a trailer, and once again, Tom Hardy and his ever-starving symbiote companion are trying to get along while doing good — in a bad way.
“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,” a description attached to the trailer reads. “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.”
The film is produced by Sony Pictures with a screenplay by Kelly Marcel.
The trailer shows Hardy’s twitchy journalist Eddie Brock questioning — and with Venom’s help, devouring – a team of armed antagonists, after which bigger issues are afoot.
The upcoming film will also feature “Ted Lasso” star Juno Temple as a scientist studying alien phenomena.
“We always knew it was impossible that we were alone in the universe. And it’s our job to see that remains a secret,” Temple’s character, Dr. Payne, tells a soldier played by Chiwetel Ejiofor in the trailer.
The military is then shown hunting the twosome down to give humanity a chance against an alien invasion.
“Eddie, my home has found us,” Venom tells his better half — meaning more of his fellow parasitic shapeshifters are coming.
Their army “cannot be beaten,” Ejiofor’s character says.
To that end, we see Venom tangling with a massive alien on top of an airliner mid-flight.
“We may not make it out of this alive, buddy,” Hardy warns Venom, as a title card reads, “‘Til Death Do They Part.”
“Venom: The Last Dance” also stars Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach and Stephen Graham. It is scheduled to be released in theaters this October.
Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and “Good Morning America”
