For fans ofMarvel, Spider-Man, and especiallyVenom, now is the time to bring home one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time. TheVenom3-Movie Collection, in 4K Ultra HD no less,is now on sale through Amazon at 34% off. Plus, it comes with an awesome,limited edition collectibleVenom figure too.
Thesix-disc box setincludes both the4K Ultra HDandBlu-rayversions of the threeVenommovies. The trio of films consists ofVenom,Venom: Let There Be Carnage, andVenom: The Last Dance. The latest,Venom: The Last Dance, recently premiered in theaters in October 2024 todisappointing box office results.
Sure, Sony’sVenomtrilogy wasn’t exactly an award-winning movie franchise. However, plenty of people who watched the flicks would say they had a good time doing so. Not to mention thatthe series is nowtechnicallya part of the Marvel Cinematic Universethanks to a bit of dimensional portal jumping.
Venom, released in October 2018, was a massive box-office success for Sony. The film raked in about $850 million for the studio on a budget of around $116 million. The success of the firstVenommovie emboldened Sony to go all in on a Spider-Man universe of movies that didn’t actually include Spider-Man. Outside of theVenomseries, this “Sony Spider-Man Universe” includedMorbius,Madame Web, andKraven the Hunter. All of which were considered both critical and financial failures.
Venom: Let There Be Carnagewas not a failure though. TheVenomsequel ended up earning Sony over $500 million at the box office. Once again starring Tom Hardy as both Eddie Brock and Venom, the follow-up film also introduced Woody Harrelson as the iconic Spider-Man/Venom villain Carnage. Fans had been hoping to see Carnage on the big screen for decades, andHarrelson as Cletus Kasady was an inspired choice.
Following the conclusion of the movie, Venom fans who stuck around were treated to a mid-credits scene. It’s here that the universes of the Sony Spider-Man Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe begin to meld. The Eddie Brock and Venom combo are teleported into the MCU proper, and while here, a portion of the symbiote breaks away. This scene is then continued in a post-credits scene forSpider-Man: No Way Home. We see Brock and Venom sent back to their proper Sony universe. However, the rogue symbiote offspring remains on the loosewithin the MCU.
IsThe Last Dancethe Last Dance?
TheVenom3-Movie Collectionis rounded out by the recently releasedVenom: The Last Dance.The movie introduces a lesser-known (but extremely dangerous) Marvel villain, Knull, who is voiced by Andy Serkis. The character’s inclusion is minimal, andit feels as if he’s there to set up a wider Sony story. But following the financial failure andcritical panning ofThe Last Danceand the other SSMU spin-offs, it may be unlikely we just back into this universe of characters.
Outside of the six-disc set, theVenom3-Movie Collection also comes with a cool, limited-edition Venom figure. It’s designed to replicate the version of the antihero from the film trilogy. It comescomplete with a gross extended tongue and swappable symbiote arms.
If you’re big into comics and physical media, theVenom 3-Movie Collectionis a must-have. And while it’s priced at $45 off,there’s no better time to buy it than now.
