Head on below for the breakdown by the ComicsLord:

Venom The Last Dance Ending

Venom The Last Dance is a messy movie with a barebones plot, but to recap what happened; basically, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the Venom symbiote are on the run after the events of 2021’s Venom Let There Be Carnage.

Venom The Last Dance begins with an exposition dump by Knull (voiced by Andy Serkis). He reveals that he is the god of the void and darkness who created the symbiotes. However, he was betrayed by the symbiotes and imprisoned on the planet Klyntar. Even Knull is trapped there, he can escape by finding something called the Codex. To achieve this, he sends his symbiote hunter Xenophages across the universe to find symbiotes with the Codex that will set him free.

Throughout the movie, the plot is essentially Eddie Brock and Venom running from both a Xenophage sent by Knull, and the forces sent by General Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Strickland wants to capture Venom because he believes that they are a threat to Earth, while there is another character, a scientist named Dr. Payne (Juno Temple), who wants to learn about them and believes them to not be a threat.

After hijinks in Mexico, across the Nevada Desert and Las Vegas, the third act of the movie begins when Eddie and Venom are finally captured by General Rex Strickland’s forces. However, the Xenophage attacks the Area 55 base where they are. To survive this attack, Dr. Payne releases all the other random symbiotes that they have already captured in the past to help defeat the Xenophage.

However, the Xenophage manages to call for reinforcements and this brings in multiple Xenophages. The Xenophages pretty much kill almost every symbiote, so the Venom symbiote separates himself Eddie and sacrifices itself to defeat to the Xenophages. With the death of Venom, the Codex that Knull needs is also destroyed in the process, so he will no longer send Xenophages to Earth.

The end of the movie reveals that Eddie is alive and in New York but without Venom. Meanwhile, the last surviving symbiote is the one that attaches itself to Dr. Payne.

Is Venom Dead?

Yes, Venom is dead and there are no signs indicating that he’s still alive.

Who Is Dr. Payne’s Symbiote, Or What Is Dr. Payne’s Symbiote?

The last surviving symbiote attaches to Dr. Payne at the end of Venom The Last Dance. However, this symbiote isn’t named in the movie itself.

From its design, it could either be Scream or Agony. That being said, Dr. Payne’s symbiote has super speed, which is an ability that no other symbiote from the comics has. In addition, Dr. Payne herself is not a character from the comics.

This is Scream.

This is Agony.

Does Spider-Man Appear?

As much as we want it to happen, Spider-Man does not appear in Venom The Last Dance. This marks five straight movies without Spider-Man in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU).

Venom The Last Dance Post-Credits 1

This mid-credits scene features another scene with Knull talking. He warns everyone that “The King In Black is awake”.

However, the fact is that he is still imprisoned on Klyntar, so this tease is a bit funny and confusing.

Venom The Last Dance Post-Credits 2

There is a post-credits scene at the very end of the credits in Venom The Last Dance.

This scene shows the Mexican bartender (Cristo Fernandez) from earlier in the movie still alive and well, escaping from the ruins of Area 51 or Area 55 (General Rex Strickland and Dr. Payne’s base of operations).

The camera then zooms to a broken vial, the same vial containing the last surviving symbiote that attached itself to Dr. Payne. We see a cockroach approaching the broken vial, before the scene fades to black.

What does this mean? Well, it could imply that there’s some leftover symbiote in the broken vial and this could lead to the birth of more symbiotes later on in the future of this universe.
