After two episodes released in 2018 and 2021, the third part of the adventures of Venom has just been released in theaters. And like any self-respecting Marvel film, Venom : The Last Dance full of easter eggs and references in all directions. Here are the 12 best easter eggs of the latter Venom :
Fuck and laugh Klyntar
Venom : The Last Dance opens with the introduction of Fuck, the new big bad in Marvel’s Sony universe. Created in 2018 par Donny Cates et Ryan Stegman, Knull is a primordial and evil godoften nicknamed the “God of the Symbiotes” or the “King in Black”. He is the one who created all the symbiotes in the Marvel Universe. He is also the one who forges the sword All Black also called Necro-Sword. An ultra powerful weapon capable of killing gods that manipulate Gorr in the last Thor : Love and Thunder. Because of the danger he represents, Knull is banished by the Celestials to a kingdom of darkness called Klyntar. This place, a sort of prison, forms a living planet. It is in this cold and dark place that Knull is held prisoner, and it was from here that he gave birth to the symbiotes.
The Xenophages
Also created by Fuck, these creatures are sent to Earth to find traces of Venom. In the comics, the Xenophages appear for the first time in 1990. Originally, before their history was altered with the creation of Knull, Xenophages are predators of Symbionts.
We redo the post-credits scene from No Way Home
The film also opens with a replay of the post-credits scene from Spider-Man : No Way Home. Like in the movie Jon Wattswe find Eddie Brock in Mexico. The character changed dimension and parachuted onto the Terre-616that of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The sequence lasts a little longer than in No Way Home. Time for the bartender to approach the Snap Thanos and the disappearance of half the universe for 5 years. As in the Jon Watts film, Eddie is recalled to his reality and leaves a little piece of Venom in the MCU. Just to remind you that the symbiote could soon arrive in the MCU.
Eddie plays Peter Parker
A little later in the film, Eddie decides to go and free stray dogs from the hands of animal traffickers. As Venom beats them up one after the other, in a shot, we can see Eddie hanging upside down. A direct and obviously reference to Spider-Man.
Venom can fly
To leave Mexico, Venom and Eddie cling to an airliner. During a line, Eddie complains that Venom can’t fly. To which the symbiote replies that it knows how to fly. Indeed, in the comics, Venom has the ability to grow wings on his back. A capacity which was notably featured in the crossover King is Black or in the video game Spider-Man 2.
Rex Strickland
In Venom 3, Chiwetel Ejiofor joue Rex Strickland. If, in the film, he never transforms into a symbiote, in the comics Rex Strickland has the Tyrannosaur symbiote. And he notably served with Nick Fury et Wolverine during the Vietnam War.
La spirale de Knull
It’s fleeting, but spiral de Knull is present in the film. Indeed, in the comics, when Knull corrupts a symbiote, a red spiral appears on the latter’s forehead. During a sequence on Klyntar, we can see this famous spiral which reminds us a little Jigsaw.
The presence of Rhys Ifans
This is one of our main questions in the film. What does Rhys Ifans In Venom 3 ? As a reminder, Rhys Ifans played Dr. Curt Conners in The Amazing Spider-Man. He even becomes the terrible Lizard and makes Peter Parker see all the colors. Here, he plays Martin, a hippie science fiction fan who wants to explore Zone 51. What are his links with the character of The Amazing Spider-Man ? The mystery remains…
A reference to Harry Potter ?
When Eddie repeats Knull’s name, Venom shuts his mouth and tells him not to say his name. Is this a reference to Harry Potter and to Voldemort whose name should not be pronounced? Maybe.
The Codex
In Venom 3, Eddie Brock and Venom are responsible for the Codex. The latter was born when Venom saves Eddie’s life in the first film. In the comics, the Codex is a kind of universal memory that preserves the memories and consciousness of the symbiotes.
Eight new symbiotes
At the end of the film, 8 new symbiotes appear in the Zone 55. Hardcore comic book readers will have recognized Lasher, Phage or even Agony. Some recurring symbiotes from the Marvel universe who come to lend Eddie a helping hand at the end of Venom : The Last Dance.
Ms. Chen’s fourth appearance
Mme Chen is back in Venom : The Last Dance. Eddie finds his trail in Las Vegas. The character played by Peggy Lu marks here his fourth appearance after the first two Venom et Spider-Man : Across the Spiderverse.
