The release date of the third instalment of the Marvel Universe superhero franchise Venom has been advanced by a couple of weeks. The film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, will hit the cinemas on October 25, 2024. It was earlier scheduled for theatrical release on November 8, 2024. While the plot of the film is still under wraps, Tom Hardy will return as the male lead, playing Eddie Brock. Apart from Hardy, the film also features Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clark Backo in crucial roles.
