What Song Is In The Venom 3 Trailer (& What It Means)

:0:1

A new trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has appeared online, and the marketing for the Marvel Universe film uses a familiar song to set the film's tone. Following two successful franchise entries, there is hope that the story of Venom 3 could be the best in the franchise, providing a suitable sendoff as the seeming last appearance of Tom Hardy as the iconic Marvel antihero. The previews for the movie promise excitement and humor will be found in the film, but they also contain a note of a sad finality, and the music in the trailer highlights that.
Sony has worked hard to build a universe of Spider-Man characters to mixed success. While Venom and its sequel have been box-office hits with mostly decent critical reviews, Morbius and Madame Web have been some of the biggest superhero flops of all time. While Madame Web may become a cult classic, the current setup places more pressure on Venom: The Last Dance to succeed. Fortunately, the new trailer for Venom: The Last Dance features a number of promising sequences, raising some real potential for the film's ability to connect with audiences.
The Venom: The Last Dance Trailer Song Is "Wild World" The Cat Stevens Song Was Released In 1970 Close The new trailer for Venom: The Last Dance is set to the popular Cat Stevens song "Wild World". The song was originally released in 1970 and went on to become a big hit for the artist. It appeared on the album Tea For The Tillerman and is considered to be perhaps the artist's greatest hit. Many other artists have covered the song throughout the years, but the version playing in the trailer is the original, although it has been remixed with much of the trailer's music and score for thematic effect.
There are some consistencies in feel and tone in this choice and the decision to use "Space Oddity" as the song in the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer. The David Bowie song is from 1969, and also discusses feelings of distance. While "Space Oddity" is about alienation, "Wild World" is a song about a breakup and the ending of a relationship. The Cat Stevens song lyrics see the singer let go of this love, but with some strange and negative attachment remaining. Both songs reflect with some distance on the world beyond themselves and help to add to Venom's story.
Why "Wild World" Fits With Venom: The Last Dance's Story The Cat Stevens Song Chronicles The End Of A Relationship Close "Wild World" is a song about goodbyes, and Venom: The Last Dance is set to be the last film in the Venom franchise. The dynamic between Eddie Brock and the Symbiote in the films has been akin to a romantic relationship and, following this, it makes sense for "Wild World" to be featured here as that relationship comes to an end. If The Last Dance is going to have any level of finality, it will likely see some ending between the characters of Eddie and Venom that is hinted at in the Cat Stevens song.
There is an element of darkness and even manipulation in the song. The relationship at the heart of "Wild World" is not a wholly positive one, and there is a level of co-dependent desperation that comes from the song's lyrics. Following this, the strange relationship between Eddie and Venom is oddly perfect for the song. As their story comes to a close, the distance between them will be perfectly served by the themes and feel of the song featured in this trailer.
Venom: The Last Dance is set to bring the franchise to an end, and any dance must be set to music. The feature of "Wild World" in the trailer reflects perfectly on the reality that Eddie and the symbiote have built around themselves in these years. Using this song helps to frame their relationship, as well as to set this trilogy-ender on a path toward finality. This new trailer gives a taste for Venom: The Last Dance, giving the film an awful lot to live up to once it is released in October.

Venom: The Last Dance Venom 3 is the third and final installment in Sony's symbiote trilogy starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock. It follows the events of Let There Be Carnage, where the anti-hero fought serial killer Cletus Kasady, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Brock was briefly transported to the MCU through the multiverse.
