So, it’s official, Venom 3 is actually called Venom: The Last Dance – and fans are already trying to work out what that might mean for Eddie Brock and the titular symbiote. A select few even have a wild theory that the title hints at a rather unexpected appearance…

“Michael Jordan cameo confirmed?” one hopeful wrote ona Reddit thread, as another chimed in: “Already looking forward to the Michael Jordan memes.”

“VENOM IS TAKING ON MJ????” said a third.

Like its predecessor,Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the story for the next installment will be written by Hardy and Kelly Marcel, and directed by the latter. As it stands, we have no idea as to its plot, though it’s worth remembering that the second movie ended with detective Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham) seemingly absorbing the super-sonic powers of Naomie Harris’s villain Shriek. There was alsothat post-credit scene, of course, which saw Eddie and Venom get mysteriously transported to a universe where Tom Holland’s Spider-Man exists, and could lead into the upcoming movie.
