Marvel followers have been left scratching their heads over a personality look within the trailer for Venom 3.

On Wednesday (3 June), Sony launched the primary take a look at Venom: The Final Dance, the third and remaining movie within the Spider-Man spin-off franchise.

As Sony owned the rights to characters from throughout the Spider-Man characters, their movies sometimes occurred away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), however as licencing offers modified, the studios have been collaborating.

In Spider-Man: No Approach House, Tom Hardy, who leads the Venom sequence, confirmed up in a mid-credits scene set within the MCU and now, within the trailer for The Final Dance, one other MCU character has proven up. Nonetheless, their inclusion doesn’t seem to make sense.

Within the trailer, Chiwetel Ejiofor reprises his function of Karl Mordo, who was launched in Physician Unusual and returned as Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity.

However the character is worlds away from the one seen within the Physician Unusual franchise as he’s kitted out in military gear and is main a gang of operatives to seize Venom, indicating that he’s taking part in a distinct model of the character altogether.

That is complicated followers contemplating the truth that Mordo will be seen on the similar location Venom is predicated within the No Approach House post-credits sequence, that means this movie is theoretically set throughout the MCU and Mordo must be the identical character we’ve seen earlier than.

Followers have subsequently deduced that the movie shouldn’t be set within the MCU – however that different Mordo’s look within the bar is a continuity error.

After watching the trailer, many expressed their confusion on-line.

However proper right here he’s within the MCU & he’s not taking part in Baron Mordo, who he beforehand performed within the MCU… & he’s taking again the symbiote that was left within the MCU. Good Job Sony!”

One other added: “I’ve questions. Like, why solid the actor that performs Mordo? Why was not-Mordo in 616 amassing the symbiote? Doesn’t that spoil No Approach House’s finish credit score scene?”
