The end is near for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock in the first trailer for Venom: The Last Dance, the final film in the Venom trilogy.

“We may not make it out alive, buddy,” Eddie tells Venom in the trailer. Eddie and Venom are fugitives on the run from government agents. While they attempt to evade capture, another symbiote villain from Venom’s home planet invades Earth, threatening the safety of Eddie and the rest of humanity. Per the film’s logline, “the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.”

Venom or Bane: Which villain did Tom Hardy play best?
