The new film, which as the title suggests is being billed as a finale to the saga that began with 2018’s original, sees Eddie Brock and Venom take to the road on the run from authorities following the events of Let There Be Carnage. 

A trailer was previously released, showing Tom Hardy reprising his dual role as Eddie and Venom, as well as giving fans a first glimpse at the new characters of Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who play a scientist and soldier, each carrying out research on symbiotes at Area 51, respectively.

Other new additions to the cast include House of the Dragon’s Rhys Ifans as Martin, an alien enthusiast who Eddie and Venom cross paths with on the run, and Andy Serkis, who appears as the voice of Knull, the creator of the symbiotes.

Venom 3 age rating: Is it suitable for kids?

If you’re wondering whether Venom 3 is suitable for children, it depends on where you’re based.

In the US, Venom: The Last Dance has been rated PG-13 like the previous two movies, meaning anyone under the age of 13 can watch it as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. 

However, if you’re based in the UK, the film has been rated 15 for strong violence and language, meaning nobody under the age of 15 can watch it in cinemas.

Hardy confirmed that the movie would be his “last” in a post on Instagram on 1st October.
