Does Venom 3 Have A Post-Credits Scene? A Spoiler-Free Guide

Tom Hardy's time as Eddie Brock/Venom is coming to an end, but not before one last dance with his favorite symbiote. Sony's "Venom: The Last Dance" is hitting theaters, and it will bring the trilogy centered on Marvel Comics' Letha Protector to a close. In these films, Venom is more of an anti-hero, but he has traditionally been a villain for Spider-Man. That is neither here nor there, though. What's important is that Hardy has made it clear that this is his final film as Eddie Brock/Venom. So, how will he and director Kelly Marcel bring things to a close? And are they going to set anything up for the future?

Credits scenes are a staple of the superhero genre. It's not too much to expect that Sony might be laying some groundwork for the future via "The Last Dance," especially with only the R-rated "Kraven the Hunter" officially on the books for the studio's "Spider-Man" spin-off universe. What comes next? Is that going to be hinted at in this film? We're here to offer up a spoiler-free guide to the credits scenes in "Venom 3." Seriously, no spoilers at all here, so proceed without fear. With that said, let's get into it.

In short, yes, "Venom: The Last Dance" has two different credits scenes that audiences can stick around to watch. One takes place after the flashy end credits sequence, as more of a mid-credits scene, sort of like the one attached to 2021's "Venom: Let There Be Carnage." The other takes place at the end of the credits, more of a post-credits scene. 

As for how important these scenes are? Well, the first one could easily be labeled as essential for viewers who are invested in what's going to happen in Sony's universe of Marvel movies after this. As for the second, well, that one could have some interesting implications for the future as well, but that's all we'll say for now. You might be a little confused about what that means, but you can come back here and learn more after the movie.

This movie is laying a lot on the line. Not only is it Hardy's last go-around as Eddie Brock, but its trailers have also revealed that the powerful Marvel Comics villain Knull will make his big screen debut in the film. Plus, Marcel has made it clear that Knull isn't going to be a one-and-done villain, so that's something to pay attention to. What can fans expect from the film before the credits roll? Here's the official synopsis:

In "Venom: The Last Dance," Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance.

Marcel also penned the screenplay working from a story she cooked up with Hardy. The cast also includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Stephen Graham, Peggy Lu, and Alanna Ubach.

"Venom: The Last Dance" hits theaters on October 25, 2024.
