Venom 4 (2025) continues the saga of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the symbiote Venom, delving deeper into the complex relationship between the two. The film picks up after the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where Eddie and Venom have formed a more stable partnership. However, their lives are once again thrown into chaos when a new, more dangerous symbiote emerges, threatening to destroy everything they hold dear.
The new antagonist, named Riot, is a powerful symbiote with a deep connection to Venom’s past. Riot is controlled by a former ally of Eddie’s, who seeks revenge for past wrongs. As Eddie and Venom navigate the treacherous landscape of their new enemy, they must also confront internal conflicts and the growing influence of the symbiote on Eddie’s personality.
The film features intense action sequences, including a climactic battle in a high-tech facility where Eddie and Venom face off against Riot and its host. Along the way, they receive unexpected help from a new ally, a scientist (played by a yet-to-be-announced actor) who has been studying symbiotes and their effects on human hosts. The movie explores themes of redemption, trust, and the duality of human nature.
The production budget for Venom 4 is estimated at $150β180 million, reflecting the high-quality visual effects and action sequences. Given the success of the previous films, with Venom grossing $856 million and Venom: Let There Be Carnage earning $433 million, Venom 4 is expected to perform well, potentially increasing the franchiseβs net worth through box office earnings and merchandise sales.
