The runtime for Venom: The Last Dance has been revealed, and the third film in the series will be longer than its predecessor, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021).
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) confirmed (via Digital Spy), that The Last Dance will have a runtime of 108 minutes and 48 seconds, translating to almost 1 hour and 49 minutes with the addition of any post-credits scenes.Â
Since the film will be the final chapter for Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), and his symbiote pal Venom, and given what transpired during the last scene in Let There Be Carnage, post-credit scenes are almost surely guaranteed.
In contrast with Venom (2018), the threequel is only three minutes shorter and almost fifteen minutes longer than the second, which clocked in at a modest 1 hour and 33 minutes, a humble runtime by the standards of the modern superhero blockbuster today.Â
According to an official synopsis from Columbia Pictures (per Variety), “Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run.”
“Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.”
Venom: The Last Dance further stars Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Peggy Lu, Rhys Ifans, Stephen Graham, Alanna Ubach, and Cristo Fernández. Written and directed by Kelly Marcel, the threequel is scheduled to swing into cinemas on October 25, 2024.
