In an era where superhero films reign supreme, Venom boldly claims its stake in pop culture lore. With Wicked set to enchant U.S. theaters on November 22, 2024, excitement brews. Now, Venom: The Last Dance‘s X account unveils a new poster, offering homage to the upcoming musical by director Jon M. Chu. The tantalizing caption reads, "Don’t miss the final movie in the trilogy." Take a peek at the Venom-Wicked mashup poster.
What Lies Ahead for Venom and Wicked?
Marking the October 2024 arrival of Venom: The Last Dance, the Marvel universe stretches further. Fans can relive the thrill as Tom Hardy jumps back into Eddie Brock/Venom’s shoes. Crafted with care by Kelly Marcel, the movie features a stellar cast. Chiwetel Ejiofor, portraying Rex Strickland, joins the ensemble, along with Juno Temple as Dr. Teddy Payne, and Rhys Ifans as Martin Moon. Adding to this lineup are Stephen Graham playing Patrick Mulligan and Peggy Lu reprising Mrs. Chen. Clark Backo, Alanna Ubach, and Andy Serkis round off this star-studded party as Sadie Christmas, Nova Moon, and the chilling Knull, respectively.
The plot of Venom 3 mixes thrills with complex narratives. Eddie and Venom find themselves pursued mercilessly by their own worlds. As adversity looms, a life-altering decision awaits, closing their saga in heart-thumping style.
On a parallel track, Wicked takes a magical route, inaugurating its two-part storytelling of the cherished musical. Brought to life by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox’s pen, the film assembles charismatic titans. Cynthia Erivo steps in as Elphaba Thropp, and Ariana Grande charms as Galinda Upland. The cast also sees Michelle Yeoh dazzling as Madame Morrible and Jeff Goldblum weaving spells as the Wizard of Oz. Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Marissa Bode add layers as Fiyero, Boq, and Nessarose.
Echoing with the splash of bright emerald and melodies as timeless as Oz, Wicked spins the untold saga of its iconic witches. Cynthia Erivo, known for Harriet, embodies Elphaba, a young woman embarking on a life-altering journey. Alongside, Ariana Grande’s Glinda strives for social appeal. United at Shiz University, their paths diverge beneath the shadow of the Wizard of Oz. As Glinda yearns for popularity’s allure, Elphaba remains steadfast in her essence. The ensuing chaos confirms their destinies in Oz, defining the good and wicked in unforeseen ways—a friendship transformed, destinies realized, and myths reimagined.
With both Venom and Wicked preparing to electrify audiences, cinematic immersion has never been more tantalizing. As we buckle up for these otherworldly journeys, the anticipation electrifies the cultural landscape.
