While everyone was paying attention to Deadpool & Wolverine potentially saving the Marvel Cinematic Universe at its lowest and the second Joker movie that exists outside the now-defunct DC Extended Universe, another comic book flick has flown under our radars. Venom: The Last Dance opens later this year, and its first trailer is a riot.
Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) weren't exactly great. Both struggled to convince critics that Sony Pictures' Spider-Man-less Spider-Man universe (yes, really) was worth investing in. However, audiences responded positively to them, so much so that both were huge box office wins for the studio; the first chomped over $850 million worldwide, and its sequel managed to clear the $500 million mark even during the late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
