As a long-time comic book enthusiast who has followed Venom’s saga since the very beginning, I can say that the post-credits scenes in “Venom: The Last Dance” are definitely worth waiting for, if only for the sheer intrigue they offer.
Contains spoilers for “Venom: The Last Dance”
In the opinion of many film critics, “Venom: The Last Dance” stands out as the finest installment of the trilogy. Throughout the movie, Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock and the symbiote character Venom continues to captivate audiences, forming one of cinema’s most intriguing partnerships. As the story reaches its end, there’s a heartfelt goodbye that adds depth to the film. The title “The Last Dance” is fitting, not only due to a dance scene featuring Venom and Mrs. Chen (played by Peggy Lu), but also because it signifies the climactic battle between Venom and Knull (Andy Serkis) and his horde of xenophages. To save Eddie and the world, Venom makes the ultimate sacrifice. In a nod to Venom’s last request, Eddie visits the Statue of Liberty, but if you’re familiar with superhero movies from the past decade, you’d know to remain seated even after the credits begin rolling.
“Venom: The Last Dance” contains two additional scenes that frame the film – a mid-credit scene offering a detailed view of Knull, and an extra scene following all credits. These scenes hint at potential stories for future movies within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, although they don’t reveal the identity of this movie’s Spider-Man character. Fans who want to catch every detail might find value in watching the entire film for any hints about the future, but let’s explore what the “Venom 3” post-credit scenes imply and whether it’s worth the wait to see them.
The villain in Venom 3’s post-credit scene is Knull – and the movie wasted him
In the mid-credits sequence, Knull issues a chilling warning: “I shall claim planets! The King in Black has awoken! I will destroy your realm! All will perish, and you shall WATCH!” It isn’t until the very end of his speech that we catch a glimpse of Knull’s ominous visage, setting the stage for the upcoming film. This mid-credits scene serves to underscore that Knull poses a significant threat in the future, as suggested by director Kelly Marcel when she told IGN, “We are laying the groundwork for Knull much like we did with Venom. The King in Black is too powerful for a mere one-time appearance.
Knull is currently trapped due to lacking a codex, an item that may have been destroyed when Venom self-sacrificed. However, it’s inevitable that Knull will break free at some point, potentially causing chaos across the Multiverse. It’s hoped that future portrayals of Knull will do justice to the character, as he seemed underutilized in this instance.

What’s with the cockroach in Venom 3? We think we might know
In the post-credits scene of “Venom 3”, a tantalizing twist unfolds. The bartender (Cristo Fernández) from the movie’s opening scenes exits Area 51 following the massive symbiote and xenophage battle. The setting appears desolate, but attention shifts as we move on from him. A cockroach scuttles across the ground, encountering a shattered glass container that might hold significant future ramifications.
To begin with, what’s the significance of a cockroach? Well, they might seem like terrifying insects, and Dr. Payne mentions their resilience earlier in the film. Interestingly, symbiotes share that same resilience. Perhaps the cockroach serves as a symbol for Venom, who appears to have survived despite supposedly perishing in an acid shower. It’s much like how “The Departed,” a movie about identifying a traitor within a criminal organization, ends with an image of a rat.
If you examine the cockroach up close, it appears that something strange is occurring. While it might be due to odd lighting, it seems to darken almost as if becoming black. If this container is the one Strickland uses for capturing Venom residue from the bar, then we might have just witnessed Venom transferring into the cockroach. This aligns with the symbiote’s behavior in the film, as it assimilates various creatures like a horse, fish, and frog. It’s possible that Venom hasn’t completed its final act, as it could bond with the roach and then travel to New York to reunite with Eddie once more.
Are Venom 3’s post-credit scenes really worth waiting for?
Similar to many superhero films, “Venom: The Last Dance” features a prolonged end credit sequence. Whether it’s worth the delay hinges on your patience for elements that could potentially hold little significance in the long run.
In a nutshell, Knull’s role in Sony’s interconnected Spider-Man Universe is uncertain. They might choose him to be the main antagonist across their upcoming superhero movies such as Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man 4” or the potential “Sinister Six” film. However, these plans could change if Sony’s universe experiences a collapse. Similarly, the post-credits scene in “Venom 3” leaves room for Venom to survive, but if he doesn’t return, they can simply explain that he perished in the acid and remained dead.
Although “Venom: The Last Dance” seems to be wrapping up the trilogy with its title and concluding events, it also subtly sets up potential future storylines. Rest assured, by the time the credits finish rolling, Venom has sacrificed himself to give Eddie a chance at a normal life. If Knull reappears in later installments, let’s hope he contributes more than just standing and staring at the ground.
