Venom The Last Dance X Review: Tom Hardy is all set to bid farewell to the Venom franchise with the upcoming threequel, Venom: The Last Dance. Ever since appearing in a cameo role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans have been eagerly anticipating the potential connection of Tom Hardy's Venom to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in unexpected ways.

Here's what the watchers have to say about the action-comedy movie.

Is Venom: The Last Dance hit or flop?

Venom: The Last Dance will follow after the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021). It marks Tom Hardy's final foray into the role of Eddie Brock/Venom, following his acclaimed performances in Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021). This time around, Hardy shares a story credit with Kelly Marcel, who assumes the directorial reins for the film.

Early reviews of Venom: The Last Dance have flooded social media, with many calling it a befitting farewell to the franchise. Watchers raved over the chemistry between Eddie Brock and the symbiote Venom, calling it the highlight of an otherwise "decent" film.

"First half is a mess, but the 3rd act is a fun action packed sequence," said an X user. Another one wrote, "I laughed so much and cried during #VenomTheLastDance, an absurdist tale of friendship that Hardy has been so committed to over the last 7 years with self-awareness. Need an entire film just for Venom frog. The shoe gag killed me."
