Tom Hardy May Have Revealed Venom 3's New Title Almost Two Years Ago

gamerant.com:

TheVenom3 title has been unveiled, marking a significant moment for fans eagerly awaiting the next installment. Interestingly, it appears that Tom Hardy may have inadvertently revealed the title two years ago, hinting at what was to come.

Venom 3, now titled Venom: The Last Dance, has been in development for some time. Eddie Brock made a cameo appearance in the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home, suggesting a potential return of Venom. Filming for Venom 3was officially confirmed in April 2022. Sony has recently shifted its original release date to October 25, 2024.

Nearly two years ago, Hardy shared a photo of the Venom 3 script on his Instagram story with the caption «Here we go.» In the bottom right corner, he added a sticker-like image reading «LAST DANCE.» Initially, this may not have been taken seriously, perhaps not even as a hint. However, with the recent Venom 3 title announcement, it seems this could indeed have been a subtle title drop that fans overlooked. Furthermore, in November of last year, Hardy hinted at the title once again in an Instagram post, thanking the Venom 3 crew and mentioning «The Last Dance» as they resumed shooting.

Despite Sony's efforts to maintain secrecy surrounding production details, speculation about the sequel's plot has run rampant. Clues from previous cameos and on-set photography suggest that Venom: The Last Dance will pick up shortly after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, setting the stage for another thrilling adventure. While much remains unknown about the film's narrative, one thing is certain: the return of Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom is eagerly anticipated, alongside newcomers Juno Temple (Fargo), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), and Clark Backo (The Changeling), who are set to bring fresh energy to the franchise.

Once again, the dynamic duo of Kelly Marcel and Hardy will take on co-writing duties, with the former also directing, building upon their successful collaboration on both previous Venom installments. With
