Venom: The Last Dance Cast and Characters: Who’s Joining Tom Hardy in Venom: The Last Dance?
Hardy’s Eddie is a man on the run, with the weight of two worlds on his back, chased by ghosts he can’t outrun. The logline says it’s decision time for the duo, the kind that ends things for good by ending their co-journey. They’ve made it clear: this is the last dance. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham join Hardy in this gritty farewell. The symbiote and its host have a date with destiny, and it’s a one-way street.
Kelly Marcel sits in the director’s chair this time, the same hand that penned and produced the first two “Venom” chapters. Marcel and Hardy worked out the story together, while the usual suspects—Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker—kept things running behind the curtain. Joe Caracciolo Jr. steps in as the executive producer, making sure this last act gets its proper send-off.
