SteelBook it is. Written and directed by Kelly Marcel, the third (and possibly final) film in the Venom trilogy stars
Tom Hardy,
Chiwetel Ejiofor,
Juno Temple,
Rhys Ifans,
Stephen Graham,

Venom: The Last Dance 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
Sony's Venom: The Last Dance SteelBook features searing, fire-struck cover art depicting Venom, well, Venom-ing as strands of his
liquid-like mass twist and pull him apart. The spine finds the film's title surrounded by black shadow in the series' stylized font. The interior of the
SteelBook is pretty standard, with a digital painting of Venom's bonding with a horse. But it's the disc hubs that continue to drive me crazy. The top
disc is easy to remove but the bottom disc takes a bit of prying. I should never have to feel like I'm about to snap a disc. Extras include:
- Venomous Laughs (HD, 3 minutes) - Outtakes and bloopers.
- Author of Mayhem: From Writer to Director (HD, 6 minutes) - Introducing the filmmaker.
- Venom Unleashed (HD, 5 minutes) - An action and stunts featurette.
- Bonded in Chaos (HD, 6 minutes) - A quickie about actor Tom Hardy's performance.
- Venom's Inner Circle (HD, 6 minutes) - A trip with the Moons.
- Brock Bottom (HD, 3 minutes) - Mrs. Chen interview.
- Savor the Last Bite (HD, 5 minutes) - A "Venom Legacy" featurette.
- Deleted & Extended Scenes (HD, 13 minutes) - "From Bar to the Abyss," "Dog Fight," "Strickland's Pursuit," "Venom's Guilty
Pleasure," "Toxin's Warning," "Penthouse" and "Xenophage Landing."
- Previs Scenes (HD, 5 minutes) - For the Airport, Desert and Lab Attack scenes.
- One Last Dance (HD, 3 minutes) - A featurette with Tom Morello and his grandson.
Venom: The Last Dance 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
The best thing that can be said of Venom: The Last Dance is that it is a decent bit of fun and that it (seemingly) brings Sony's version of the
character to a solid close, making way for whatever the MCU proper decides to do. It's too short, cartoony and choppily edited for its own good, but
fans of the series will likely find a few things to enjoy. Sony's 4K UltraHD SteelBook release makes finding something to enjoy that much easier too,
thanks to an attractive SteelBook, a striking 2160p video presentation, a fantastic Dolby Atmos track, and a fair complement of extras.
