Tom Hardy Returns In Venom: The Last Dance On Max

The new film debuts on Max with mixed reviews but strong audience approval

Fans of Tom Hardy can rejoice as he returns as the iconic anti-hero in the newly released film "Venom: Ostatni taniec" (Venom: The Last Dance), which debuted on the streaming platform Max on March 28, 2025. This latest installment marks the final chapter in the popular series centered around one of Spider-Man's most notorious adversaries.

"Venom 3: Ostatni taniec" has been highly anticipated, especially after its theatrical premiere in late October 2024, followed by its availability on Video on Demand (VOD) services just two months later, in December 2024. Now, subscribers to Max can enjoy the film without any additional fees. The movie is accessible in Polish, complete with dubbing and subtitles, making it more inclusive for local audiences.

Despite the excitement surrounding its release, the film has received mixed reviews. Critics have not been particularly kind, with only 40% of reviews being positive. However, audience reception tells a different story. An impressive 80% of viewers expressed satisfaction with the film, resulting in an average rating of 4.20 out of 5. This disparity highlights the ongoing trend where audiences often embrace films that critics may dismiss.

The film will remain exclusive to Max for several months, but it is expected to branch out to other popular streaming services in the future. Netflix users will have to wait until the end of March 2026 for the film to arrive on their platform. In contrast, Amazon Prime Video will feature the superhero flick around October 2025, giving fans a chance to see it sooner.

In "Venom: Ostatni taniec," Eddie Brock, played by Tom Hardy, and his symbiotic counterpart, Venom, face a new and formidable threat from outer space. This time, they must contend with Knull, a malevolent deity responsible for creating the Klyntar race, as well as other sinister forces that threaten their existence. As they navigate these challenges, Eddie and Venom find themselves in a race against time, trying to escape the clutches of evil while grappling with their own identities.

The film's cast includes notable actors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, Stephen Graham, and Rhys Ifans. The direction and screenplay are helmed by Kelly Marcel, who has been involved with the series since its inception.

Financially, "Venom 3: Ostatni taniec" has performed well at the box office, grossing approximately $478.9 million worldwide against a budget of $120 million. This success not only recoups the production costs but also signifies a profitable endeavor for the studio, especially when considering additional revenue from VOD sales.

As the film continues to attract viewers, it remains to be seen how it will perform in the long run. The combination of a strong fan base, the star power of Tom Hardy, and the established popularity of the Venom character may help sustain its success.

In summary, "Venom: Ostatni taniec" offers fans a thrilling conclusion to the series, filled with action, suspense, and the trademark humor that has come to define the Venom franchise. While critics may not have fully embraced the film, audience reactions suggest that it has successfully captured the hearts of many, solidifying its place in the superhero genre.
