Our long global nightmare is almost over. After blowing up the box office with 2018’s Venom, Sony was emboldened to not only make more films in that franchise but to explore other, similarly unnecessary projects. It was thus that Morbius and Madame Web were made as fans around world collectively asked “why?” and meme lords everywhere thrived.
After briefly crossing over into the MCU, a third Venom film is due out this year. Set firmly back in Sony’s live-action non-Spidey-verse, the project simply seems like another example of Sony going to the well one too many times. However, it also seems as thougy Venom: The Last Dance will indeed be the last dance.
According to Sony Motion Pictures Group chairman Tom Rothman, the Tom Hardy-led threequel is the “third and last Venom.”
Though Rothman didn’t share the reason behind the decision, the news is sure to kick off a series of worldwide celebrations similar to those held by the Munchkins upon the death of the Wicked Witch. And though Rothman didn’t indicate Sony had any intention of pulling back altogether on making horrific films with their roster of Spidey-related characters, there’s always some hope this is the first step in that direction.
