    ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ spoilers: Post-credits scenes, unwrapped ending

    Spoiler alert! We discuss major plot points and the ending of “Venom: The Last Dance” (in theaters now), so watch out if you haven’t seen it yet.

    Many fans who went to see the latest The movie “Venom”. they were probably hoping for an appearance from Spider-Man. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, although moviegoers can say goodbye to a major character and welcome a new cosmic supervillain.

    “Venom: The Last Dance” seemingly concluded the superhero trilogy, starring Tom Hardy as both Eddie Brock and his related alien symbiote, a fan-favorite Spider-evil from Marvel comics turned “lethal protector”. The new film finds Eddie and Venom on a trip with friends to New York, looking to evade the authorities – as Eddie is wanted for murder – as well as snarling outer space beasts sent by Venom’s creator, the evil Knull (reproduced via motion capture by Andy Serkis). Long-haired blond and the brutal god of symbiotes, Knull is imprisoned on an alien planet, and the bond between Eddie and Venom is the literal key to keeping him from escaping and unleashing a wave of annihilation.

    Let’s dig into the bittersweet ending, a pair of post-credits scenes, and the odds that this really is Eddie and Venom’s last dance.

    What happens at the end of ‘Venom: The Last Dance’?

    En route from the Bay Area to the Big Apple and after a wild stop in Las Vegas, Eddie and Venom arrive at Area 51, where the government is housing and studying other alien symbiotes. Knull’s violent creatures battle Venom and the symbiotes (who find human hosts in the surrounding scientists), and Venom ultimately sacrifices himself to save the day. He breaks free from Eddie and forms a web around the vicious beasts, which allows military man Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to take out Venom with a liquid that dissolves the creatures, but also our alien hero. (But not before sharing one last moment with Eddie.)

    Eddie is pardoned by the government and finally makes it to New York, where he takes the Statue of Liberty – a landmark that Venom really wanted to visit. “I won’t forget you, mate,” he says.

    Does the new ‘Venom’ movie have a post-credits scene?

    It actually has two – one significant, the other cryptic. After the first wave of credits, we see an additional scene where Knull appear in the foreground for a malicious disgust. “The King in Black is awake,” he says, a reference to the Marvel Comics story that featured Knull setting his sights on Earth. “I will kill your world. Everyone will burn and you will watch.” He’s not targeting anyone specifically, but considering he’s a Thanos-level threat in the comics, it’s probably not great for the universe at large.

    The other extra scene is at the end after the end credits. It features a cave in a desert from which emerges a confused bartender played by Cristo Fernández (from “Ted Lasso”) that Eddie and Venom interacted with when they spent a little time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Hello?!” he shouted over a large piece of nothing as he started to walk. The camera zooms in on a nearby bug struggling against a broken test tube – and it looks a lot like the one crushed by scientist Teddy Payne (played by Juno Temple) who unleashed a symbiote and turned her into a Venomized speedster .

    So what does this all mean? Unclear. The town is similar voida purgatorial place that exists between the different universes as seen in ‘Loki’ and most recently ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. It could be a sign that symbiotes will play a role in future movies, the bartender could get a new alien friend, or while Venom might be gone, the now symbiote in Teddy still survives.

    Have we seen the last of Tom Hardy’s Venom?

    Given the Knull of it all, probably not. The post-credits scenes in Sony’s Marvel movies didn’t lead to much – and gave the bad feelings for both “Morbius” and “Madame Web”, it probably won’t be long term. But playing the Knull card means someone has plans for him, in a certain universe, and if he’s around, the symbiotes will follow.

    Moviegoers could see the return of Venom (and Knull) as early as the next “Spider-Man” movie, which begins filming next summer with Tom Holland back as the young hero holding the sails. (The concept of the film – directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and released on July 24, 2026 – is “insane”, Holland reports.) Maybe Eddie meets Peter Parker in New York City, Venom somehow comes along for the ride, and a dynamic duo becomes a great threesome.
