Is Venom: The Last Dance really worth watching? Initial reactions have finally hit the net for Tom Hardy’s final outing as the Lethal Protector.

Sony Pictures has been having a hard time with their Spider-Man villain universe in recent years. It seems each film tumbles further and further down the mountain of quality and box office success. This left many fans asking if Venom: The Last Dance would succumb to the curse of poor quality, or if Tom Hardy’s performance as the constantly sweaty ball of anxiety known as Eddie Brock would keep the film afloat as it has for the past installments of the trilogy.

With Venom: The Last Dance hitting theaters this Friday, reactions from early screenings of the film have finally hit the net. Luckily, it seems the project has survived becoming a bomb to be a moderate success with fans, similar to the response of the trilogy’s prior films. Flowers were especially given to Tom Hardy, whose performance as both Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote seem to keep the film afloat despite a few story missteps.

The Future Of Tom Hardy’s Venom

A large selling point for Venom: The Last Dance is that it will close off Tom Hardy’s journey as the Lethal Protector after almost a decade of playing the role. While many speculate that the actor may reprise his role to make a cameo in Spider-Man 4, some signs suggest that the movie will truly be an end to the actor’s time as the Spider-Man villain, despite the fact that Sony Pictures never allowed him to face off with a version of the webhead.

Despite this, the impact of Tom Hardy’s hero will likely be felt well beyond Venom: The Last Dance. The film sets up Knull as a new villain to take center stage at the heart of Sony Pictures’ villain universe. While it’s not clear where the character will go next, it’s likely that the impact Hardy’s character will have in the film will be felt for a long time to come.
