Sony's upcoming “Venom: The Last Dance” has fans buzzing as it prepares to hit U.S. theaters on October 25th, 2024. Clocking in at a brisk 95 minutes (excluding credits), the latest installment in the “Venom” franchise promises to deliver plenty of action-packed moments. But, what has sparked the most speculation are the two post-credits scenes rumored to set the stage for something bigger, possibly tying Venom's universe to the wider MCU.
The first of these scenes is rumored to feature Knull, the film's main villain, portrayed by an as-yet-unknown actor. Knull, a fan-favorite character from the comics, only has a minor presence during the film's main plot, but this post-credits tease could be hinting at a much larger role in future films. Given the hype surrounding this character, his brief appearance could be just the beginning of an expanded storyline for Venom's universe.
The second scene, however, is where things get really intriguing. According to reports (via Cryptic4KQual), Cristo Fernández, known for his breakout role in Ted Lasso, returns as the bartender from the post-credits scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home. This could be the MCU connection that fans have been clamoring for. With wild rumors swirling about Venom's involvement in a potential Spider-Man 4, the post-credits scene may offer the first tangible hint of this crossover.
With heavy marketing in Asian markets like China, where it premieres on October 23rd, and growing anticipation globally, Venom: The Last Dance is shaping up to be a key entry in Sony's ever-evolving Spider-Verse.
The anticipation around these post-credits scenes is palpable, especially for fans eager to see Venom intersect with the MCU in a meaningful way. The inclusion of Knull, although brief, is a huge tease for what's to come, and Cristo Fernández's reappearance might finally tie up loose ends from No Way Home. With such high stakes, I can't help but feel excited about the possibilities.
What do you think these post-credits scenes could mean for the future of Venom and the MCU? Will we finally see a proper crossover with Spider-Man? Let me know your thoughts!
