We recently learned that Venom: The Last Dance will have a runtime of around 1 hour, 50 minutes. Today, reliable leaker @Cryptic4KQual brings word that the threequel, without credits, will only be 1 hour, 35 minutes.
That's going to make this movie a pretty easy watch, but 15 minutes of credits? We know there are two post-credits scenes and, as this X user later pointed out, Venom ended at 1 hour, 32 minutes and had 20 minutes of credits.
As we're sure you'll recall, the movie included a lengthy stinger introducing Cletus Kasady and then a scene from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
It appears Venom: The Last Dance will devote a good few minutes to its post-credits scenes; yesterday, we learned who they're likely to put the spotlight on and you can read more about that here.
There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding this movie that wasn't there a few weeks ago. Why? Well, it's down to rumours Venom: The Last Dance sets the stage for Spider-Man 4 and a meeting between Peter Parker and Eddie Brock which will see them team up to battle Knull in the post-Avengers: Doomsday MCU.
Whether that pans out remains to be seen but if Sony leaked that information to build interest, then we'd say it's paid off based on what we're hearing about early ticket sales.
Stay tuned for updates as we have them.
