The third (and possibly final) Venom movie has wrapped filming and is set for a theatrical release in October. Plot details are still under lock and key at Sony, but some Marvel fans think they've figured out who will be the villain.

On social media, an image originally posted by @misterkrasinski on X claims to reveal a look at the gift ballcap and T-shirt given to members of the stunt team for Venom: The Last Dance. The cap reveals Venom's face mixed with green-colored scratch marks, while the shirt features the "e" in Venom replaced with a "3" that's green in color. Comic book readers are thinking this is a hint that Lasher will be the villain in Venom: The Last Dance.

In Marvel Comics, Lasher is the name given to a green symbiote that was spawned from the Venom symbiote along with a few other "siblings." The character, created by David Michelinie and Ron Lim, was first introduced in Venom: Lethal Protector #4, which was published in 1993. As of now, there haven't been any official announcements or indications that Lasher is planned to be a part of the third Venom film, but fans are discussing the possibility.

Given the title of the film, it seems like there's a good chance that Venom: The Last Dance will be the final Venom movie. Tom Hardy is back as Eddie Brock after playing the character in the previous two films. The film, directed by Kelly Marcel, will also star Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clark Backo.

“We’re coming close to an end at the moment,” Temple said of the film in February, per Variety. “It’s been a wild, wonderful ride. It’s so new to me. It’s a big set! This is crazy. It’s been so much fun and I got to work with such cool people. I’ve been so lucky in my career to just have the most incredible casts. I can’t wait for it to get out into the world. I think it’s going to be a good one.”

Sony's Spider-Man Universe Continues

The sequel will be the fifth movie that's a part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe. If follows 2018's Venom and its 2021 sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, as well as 2022's Morbius and 2024's Madame Web. Kraven the Hunter was previously set to be released before the new Venom sequel, but a recent delay has pushed that movie back to December 2024.

Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theaters on Oct. 25, 2024.
