Venom dies to save the world from Knull

Venom makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect Earth and Eddie Brock from Knull’s invasion

The biggest turnaround in Venom: The Last Dance it’s the fact that Venom sacrificed his life to defeat the Xenophages that are hunting him. After fighting a single Xenophage for most of the film’s runtime, Venom and Eddie Brock find themselves cornered in the Area 51 research facility by multiple Xenophages. Almost all of the humans and symbiotes who joined the fight fell victim to the creatures, who continue to reassemble their bodies whenever they are injured. Realizing that the Xenophages are nearly invincible, Venom makes the decision to absorb them and throw acid on himself.

Before carrying out his plan, Venom says goodbye to Eddie Brock and puts a shield on him, warning him that it will just be goodbye. “for now”. This line not only acknowledges a previous exchange between Eddie and Venom, but also suggests that there is still hope for a reunion in the future. After all, Venom is also very difficult to completely kill in the source material, and Venom: The Last DanceThe second post-credits scene teases Venom’s return with a cockroach making its way to the canister that contained a piece of the symbiote that Venom left behind in the bar at the beginning.

Juno Temple’s Payne joins the symbiote’s agony

Dr. Payne is the only character capable of retaining her symbiote

Venom: The Last Dance features Dr. Payne from Juno Temple with a dream flashback to his childhood. According to the flashback, she witnessed her brother being struck by lightning, which also burned his left arm. Dr. Payne takes a small sample of a symbiote while defending Orwell Taylor’s symbiotes and helping Eddie Brock fend off the Xenophages. After her colleague loses her symbiote to one of the creatures, Dr. Payne breaks the canister and lets the symbiote take control of her body. As a result, the Agony symbiote is born.

In the comics, Agony and four of his fellow symbiotes are used by the Life Foundation as bodyguards.

Agony is also known for fusing with its fellow symbiotes to create a supersymbiote called the Hybrid.

Eddie Brock kills someone for the first time

Eddie Brock feels remorse for knowingly killing someone (in self-defense)

Venom and Eddie Brock are chased through the desert by a Xenophage, who can only track Venom’s codex when Venom fully takes control of Eddie’s body. Therefore, Eddie must travel alone, and Venom can only help Eddie with his tentacles and head. At one point, the military arrives to capture them, which forces Venom to transform and thus attract the attention of the Xenophage. A free battle ensues in a river, causing Venom and Eddie to become separated. Venom tries to jump back into Eddie’s body, while Eddie fights two soldiers. Eddie incapacitates one of the soldiers, but is forced to shoot the other with his own gun..

After surviving the battle and reuniting with Venom, Eddie Brock is deeply affected by his decision to kill the soldier. Eddie can’t shake the image of the soldier’s face and regrets having to use lethal force to defend himself.

However, pulling the trigger alone is a totally different story.

An army of symbiotes fights xenophages in Area 51

Xenophages are almost impossible to defeat, even by symbiotes

Venom: The Last DanceThe final battle is not limited to just Venom, the military and the Xenophages. At least six symbiotes are also stored at Area 51, held for research as the US government investigates extraterrestrial life. When the fight begins, the two heroic scientists release all the symbiotes, which unite with some of the workers and attack the Xenophages. Unfortunately, most symbiotes and their hosts die quickly, including Patrick Mulligan and his symbiote, Toxin, who provided information about Knull and his minions.

Each symbiote has a special ability. For example, one of them seems to be especially strong, while others can create more complex weapons. Toxin can fly and Agony has super speed and electrical abilities. However, most of these symbiotes are no match for the Xenophages, who can easily kill the symbiotes by eating them and pulverizing them with the saw-like teeth on the back of their heads. In the end, only Agony survives.

Knull is trapped in the void and needs a codex to escape

Knull can only escape Klyntar if he collects Venom’s Codex

Venom: The Last Dance establishes that Knull has been trapped on Klyntar for eons and is trying to escape with the help of the Xenophages. According to Venom and Toxin, Knull can only escape Klyntar when he acquires a codex, which comes into existence when a symbiote resurrects its hosts after their death. Since Venom resurrected Eddie Brock during the events of PoisonVenom has held the key to Knull’s escape for about a year.

Knull’s story in Venom: The Last Dance follows his history in Marvel Comics very closely. Just like the source material, Venom: The Last Dance‘s Knull is also the creator of the symbiotes, betrayed by them when they gained free will. Following Venom: The Last DanceAfter the codex exposition, it is possible that a new codex will be created if Agony ever resurrects Dr. Payne, or if Carnage returns and brings Cletus Kasady back with him. After all, a resurrected Carnage is the key to Knull’s escape from Klyntar in the comics.

Eddie Brock has a short stay in the MCU

Venom: The Last Dance’s opening scene takes place in the main MCU timeline

Venom: The Last Dance begins with Eddie Brock talking to Cristo Fernandez’s bartender about Thanos and the Infinity Stones, shortly after Spider-Man: No Way Homepost-credits scene. Just like that post-credits scene showed, Eddie Brock is sent back to his home timeline, where he meets an almost exact copy of the same bartender.. However, this version of the bartender doesn’t know who Thanos is. He is also shocked when he sees Venom’s tentacles preparing a cocktail for Eddie, and even more so when authorities confiscate a piece of the symbiote that Venom left behind.

Venom: The Last Dance from the Spider-Man: No Way HomeThe post-credits scene takes on a whole new meaning. While Spider-Man: No Way Home suggested that Venom had left behind part of himself in the main MCU timeline, Venom: The Last Dance confirms that he did this in Sony’s Spider-Man universe. Venom: The Last DanceThe post-credits scene reveals that the bartender survived the battle at Area 51 and escaped the facility, while the symbiote piece presumably attaches itself to a cockroach and escapes. Consequently, the MCU’s Earth-616 remains symbiote-free, at least until Spider-Man 4 reveals the opposite.

Interestingly, Knull never meets any other character in Venom: The Last Dance. In truth, Knull doesn’t even get up from his chair throughout the entire film. But this only suggests that Knull’s first appearance is just the beginning.

In the comics, Marvel King in Black The plot sees Knull successfully escape Klyntar and attempt to take over Earth. The Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men join forces to fight Knull and his army, while Venom is chosen as a new host by Captain Universe and defeats Knull with special help from the Silver Surfer.

Eddie and Venom go on a road trip (sort of)

Eddie Brock and Venom encounter two familiar faces while escaping the xenophages

Everything Eddie Brock wants to do after the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way HomeThe post-credits scene is about finding a place to rest and recover.

No Spider-Man appearance in Venom 3

Spider-Man does not appear at any point in Venom: The Last Dance

While Spider-Man’s adjustments to the multiverse are what leads to Eddie Brock and Venom being momentarily transported to the MCU’s Earth-616, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man plays no role in Venom: The Last Dance. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men are also completely absent from Venom’s final adventure, and no other Spider-Man variants are mentioned. As it stands, then, the Poison the trilogy ends with minimal references to Spider-Man, including Venom’s iconic white emblem, which the antihero always sports on his chest in the source material.

Given that Eddie Brock is in New York City, Knull promises to return, and a piece of the symbiote appears to have survived the battle of Area 51, it’s still technically possible for Venom to encounter Spider-Man in the future. Perhaps the symbiote will regenerate into a full-size Venom and reunite with Eddie Brock. Meanwhile, Spider-Man’s potentially multiversal adventure in the next MCU film Spider-Man 4 could open new portals between timelines, which could allow Eddie Brock and Venom to finally meet Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and join forces to defeat Knull in a live-action adaptation of the Marvel Comics film. King in Black plot.
