Eddie/Venom then appears in the post-credits sequence of 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home"; they're returned to their universe, but not before leaving behind a portion of symbiote.

The theatrical release of "Venom: The Last Dance" is set for October 25.

'Hallow Road' Review: Babak Anvari’s Tense Thriller Explores Parental Fear and Mythic Horror

The narrative follows an anxious set of parents who race through the night in response to a distressing call from their college-age daughter. With high-stakes performances from Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys, Hallow Road delivers a psychological slow burn that gradually introduces a darker, mythic dimension. ‎ ‎Rosamund Pike in ' Hallow Road.
