New ‘Venom 3’ Trailer Teases Toxin and Other Symbiote Villains: Everything We Know So Far

Yesterday, the first trailer for ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ was released, featuring Eddie Brock and Venom on the run after defeating Carnage. From what we saw, Eddie and Venom are being hunted not only by humans but also by other symbiotes.

Recently, leaked merchandise hinted that the villain in the upcoming movie could be Toxin or Lasher. The newly released trailer has confirmed that the antagonist will indeed be Toxin.

The confirmation came from the trailer subtitles when Stephen Graham’s character, who looks like he’s been captured and held in a cell, spoke.

Toxin is the child of the Carnage symbiote, making him the “grandchild” of the original Venom symbiote. Toxin is considered one of the strongest symbiotes. Based on how ‘Let There Be Carnage’ ended, Toxin has plenty of reasons to go after Eddie and Venom. Toxin’s main host, and the one in the movie, is Patrick Mulligan.

Toxin has all the usual symbiote powers like shapeshifting, enhanced strength, speed, agility, and the ability to stick to surfaces. He is considered stronger than both Venom and Carnage. However, he probably won’t be the main villain in the movie.

The trailer showed lots of symbiotes, most of them unnamed for now, and what looks like a Xenophage. Xenophages are known for hunting symbiotes, making them unique predators. They are large, insect-like aliens with strong mandibles and a scary appearance. They are introduced as enemies targeting Eddie Brock and Venom.

‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is set to release in the United States on October 25, 2024, in IMAX and other premium large formats. Have something to add? Let us know in the comments below!
