THE LAST DANCE Promos Reveal A New Look At Tom Hardy’s Lethal Protector In Action

Venom: The Last Dance is fast approaching and promotional tie-ins with Pizza Hut and Wendy’s have revealed a new look at Tom Hardy’s fan-favorite (well, some fans) Symbiote in action.

That black goo – don’t worry, it’s just garlic sauce – looks oddly appetizing but on closer inspection, we see that some of the artwork has recycled images of Venom from the previous movies. For most franchises, that wouldn’t fly, but in this one’s case…why not?

Bizarrely, Venom’s character design hasn’t undergone any noteworthy changes since the first movie was released in 2018. That’s despite fan backlash over the fact he has no logo on his chest, making Venom the one constant in a genre that frequently switches up costumes and appearances to, primarily, sell toys and merchandise.

This mostly new artwork comes as early box office tracking suggests Venom: The Last Dance is on course to open with between $80 million – $120 million at the North American box office next month.

That would potentially be the trilogy’s highest debut and one of the year’s biggest opening weekends. While it hasn’t felt like there’s that much buzz surrounding the threequel, we’ll get more accurate tracking figures once tickets go on sale.

Likely helping matters are the rumblings Venom is going to feature heavily in Spider-Man 4. Sony may have leaked word of that crossover to increase interest in Venom: The Last Dance but, if those rumors don’t pan out…well, there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans (and many who will be relieved too, of course).

Check out this new look at the movie’s Lethal Protector in the X posts below.
