Movie fans are buzzing about the third and final instalment in the Venom trilogy. Although Venom: The Last Dance, starring Tom Hardy (who also directed) won’t be out until October 25, it hasn’t stopped franchise devotees from gushing over one of Hardy’s costars.
For those of you not up on your Marvel universe, Venom follows struggling journalist Eddie Brock (Hardy) who gains superpowers after becoming the host of an alien symbiote (Venom) whose species plans to invade our planet. The gist is Venom appears almost as Eddie’s sidekick, but one who can turn Eddie into a killing machine. In the upcoming Last Dance, Eddie and Venom are on the run when they are hunted by both of their worlds.
In the movie, Venom Horse makes a sudden appearance and an instant viral sensation was born. In the clip below, Brock (Hardy) asks Venom how fast he can make the horse run without killing it. “There’s only one way to find out,” Venom responds before turning the bay horse into an enormous black surreal equine with fangs and the alien’s signature tongue. Brock climbs aboard Venom Horse as it leaps and flies over the canyons.
And the Internet went mad. One person posted on X, “I haven’t really liked the Venom movies much, but ‘Venom-horse” rides off into the desert and flies off a mountain’ is the kind of thing that could get me to see this in theatres…”
One fan wrote “I’m not gonna lie, I think Venom Horse has to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Another added, “Venom Horse is the hardest s**t I’ve ever seen in my entire life, I don’t think you guy realize that this is going to be the greatest movie of all time.”
Whether the film will be a hit or not remains to be seen, but for certain Venom Horse has already corralled its own stable of fans.
