10 Recent Movie Moments Everybody Was Waiting For
3. The Death Of Eddie Brock - Venom: The Last Dance
In a similar way to Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Venom 3's title of The Last Dance automatically conjured images with an undeniable finality to them. It very much felt like this was the end for Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock.
This wasn't exactly a theory that was unfounded or baseless. The character's teased entry into the MCU to face off against Tom Holland's Spider-Man was relegated to a mere post-credit scene before being shipped back home, and with the SSU living on borrowed time, what else was there to do with the character?
The entire plot of the third film in the trilogy revolved around Eddie and Venom creating a Codex within themselves that could unlock Knull (Andy Serkis) from his prison, and bring about the end of the world. The only way to stop this from happening was for either Eddie or Venom to die.
Together, they ultimately made the sacrifice to save the world, but at the last moment, Venom spit Eddie out and saved him. Yes, one of them had to die, and while everyone thought it would be Eddie Brock, expectations were subverted, and it was Venom who danced his last dance.
