Venom Reunites With Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock In Marvel Art Set After The Last Dance

Venom: The Last Dance said farewell to the duo that was Venom and Eddie Brock, but some fan art beautifully gives the two characters a reunion in an unexpected way. At the end of Venom 3, Venom heroically sacrifices himself in order to protect Eddie and the rest of the humans. While fighting a hoard of horrifying aliens, he merges with the creatures, forcing them toward certain doom underneath an acid bath.

However, while it looks like Venom may be gone for good, the film did hint that he could return through the small sample of Venom symbiote General Rex Strickland secured at the start of the movie. In a post-credits scene, this same sample is seen as a cockroach approaches, which gave way for the artist behind this comic strip to create a beautiful reunion moment for Eddie and Venom. Perfectly capturing the humor and tone of the films with Venom inhabiting a cockroach.

What The Venom 3 Fan Art Means

Venom’s Comedy Timing Is Perfect For Comics

The image shows Venom calling to Eddie in an excited and loud manner, as he declares that he is now bound with a cockroach. Eddie responds in surprise, asking if the cockroach is really his friend, and announcing that he believed he was dead. And in a simple and enigmatic response that perfectly fits both this comic book format and the style of Venom from the trilogy, he yells “Surprise!” Of course, the comic is a playful take on these two characters and an odd reunion, but it could give way to a more credible story down the line.

Our Take On The Venom 3 Fan Art

Venom Has A Serious Thing For Animals

One thing that the Venom movies absolutely is not, is subtle. The films feature heavy foreshadowing with references to later moments and signposting that is delivered in a heavy-handed manner. For instance, Venom 3 introduced Dr. Teddy Payne by first recounting her incident with lightning as a young girl. Later, the movie sees her bond with a symbiote and have lightning powers. Strickland appears early in the piece as he is controlling the acid bath to dispose of Area 51 materials, and later, the acid bath plays a key role in the film’s ending.

One other important detail repeated in Venom 3 is the fact that Venom can bond with animals. He bonds with a horse, a fish, a frog, and finally the massive creatures sent by Knull. While it’s possible that the earlier bonding was a hint at Venom’s method to take down the beasts, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that all of this happened, and the last time his symbiote is seen, he shares the screen with a cockroach. Of course, it could just be a funny image, but it feels as though Venom: The Last Dance was setting up a Venom cockroach, just like the fan art depicts.
