In the trailer,Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character was seemingly collecting the piece of the Venom symbiote that stayed behind in the MCU.Spider-Man: No Way Home’s post-credits scene featured Hardy’s Eddie Brock at a bar in the MCU, with the character soon being teleported back to the SSU, with a piece of Venom staying behind.

Venom: The Last Dance Theory’s MCU Connection Explained
There Are Two Pieces Of The Symbiote
The situation is tricky asTed Lasso’s Dani Rojas actor Cristo Fernández returns inVenom: The Last Dance’s trailer as seemingly the same bartender he played inSpider-Man: No Way Home. The character was talking to Hardy’s Eddie Brock about MCU events in a bar in Mexico when Eddie was taken back to the SSU, and the piece of Venom stayed in the MCU. That said, a newVenom: The Last Dancetrailer theory shared on Twitter by@Beyonder_10explains how the SSU film’s trailer might have been misleading.
According to the theory, there are two different versions of the bar and the bartender. Eddie Brock would have returned to the SSU, leaving a piece of Venom behind for Holland’s Peter Parker to come into contact with inSpider-Man 4. Then,the character returned to the SSU in the same exact place he was in the MCU, so the bartender in theVenom: The Last Dancetrailer is a variant of the MCU one, and Venom left another piece of the symbiote behind as he arrived. This SSU part of Venom is then collected by Ejiofor’s character.

Why Venom 3 Undoing Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Ending Makes No Sense
There Are Too Many Issues
Venom: The Last DanceretconningSpider-Man: No Way Home’s post-credits scene would be one of the worst moves Sony has done. Besides killing any potential for a future symbiote storyline in the MCU, the move would face a few issues. First is the fact that Ejiofor’s character is the one to retrieve the piece of the symbiote seen in theVenom: The Last Dancetrailer.The actor is already known to MCU fans, as Ejiofor has played the sorcerer Mordofor years in the franchise. His SSU character going to the MCU would make the thirdVenom’s story too convoluted.
Besides, if Ejiofor’s mystery character were to collect the Venom piece in the MCU, thenVenom: The Last Dancewould inevitably have to be a multiversal moviein some way. However, that is not at all what the trailer showed will be the case. The story seems to be much more focused on the origin of Hardy’s Venom catching up to him than thrusting the characters into another universe. Asthe film has been confirmed to be the SSU’s final Venom entry, then it is better that it is self-contained and leaves the multiverse for other projects.
Venom 3’s Latest Update Is Worrying For Sony’s Troubled Spider-Man Universe
Tom Hardy’s Venom: The Last Dance has received an update that puts in question the future of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe after controversial releases.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Is Perfectly Set Up To Feature The Symbiote
The Hero Is At His Lowest Point
Spider-Man: No Way Homehas set up the perfect way for Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4to feature the symbiote. Peter Parker will be ready for a classic Spider-Man story in his next solo film, with the character going through the hardest time yet in his life, as the Green Goblin killed Aunt May and Doctor Strange’s spell made everyone he loved forget Peter. That setup makes it perfect forPeter to be influenced by the symbiote, donning the black suit and becoming more aggressive.
That could lead to the first time there is a multi-movie arc for the black suit, withHolland’s Peter Parker wearing the symbiote fromSpider-Man 4untilAvengers: Secret Wars. The final movie in the Multiverse Saga would make for a poetic ending to the MCU’s symbiote story, as Spider-Man first donned the black suit in the comics' Secret Wars event. With the MCU perfectly set up for the symbiote saga,Venom: The Last DanceundoingSpider-Man: No Way Home’s Venom scene would make no sense at all, which is why the SSU theory could be on to something.
