With less than one week to go until Venom: The Last Dance arrives in theaters, a spoilery new TV spot has been released with a worrying name: "Sacrifice."
In the teaser, we see Eddie Brock about to be devoured by a Xenophage before walking away from the downed helicopter we've previously seen him and Venom share a tearful exchange in. However, as he does so, a whole group of Xenophage close in for what could be the fugitive reporter's final moments!
It's hard to say whether Sony would showcase such a huge spoiler in a TV spot but the studio has a track record of doing so (The Amazing Spider-Man 2's final scene was all over previews for that sequel way back in 2014, for example).
"I love playing Venom, but the contract's up and we always knew we were doing three and this is the best of them all," Hardy recently said when asked if this really is it for him as Venom. "We poured everything into it and absolutely love it. It's an environment based on what people want so who knows what the future holds."
When he was asked the Spider-Man question, the actor responded, "I'll fight Spider-Man whenever he wants...I would love that, who wouldn't? I'd love to fight Batman as Venom. There's so much to do with these characters."
The social media embargo for Venom: The Last Dance lifts on Monday before full reviews drop on Wednesday. You'll want to check back here then to find our verdict on the threequel.
In the meantime, you can watch this spoilery new TV spot in the player below.
