The first trailerforVenom: The Last Danceis here, and with it comes the reveal of a formerSpider-Manstar’s surprising return to the Marvel Multiverse. In a blink and you’ll miss it moment, eagle-eyed fans have spottedRhys Ifans, the star ofThe Amazing Spider-ManandSpider-Man: No Way Home, makes an appearance. TheHouse of the Dragonstar appears to be a companion Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) meets while on the run from the government, though details surrounding Ifans' character are still a mystery.
Spider-Manfans will undoubtedly recognize Rhys Ifans as the man who broughtDr. Kurt Connors, AKA The Lizard, to life inThe Amazing Spider-Man. There, the once good-hearted geneticist turned himself into a hulking reptilian monster, hellbent on turning New York City’s population into lizard monsters like him. His plans were thwarted by his protégé, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), but the character was one of the numerous villains to return inSpider-Man: No Way Home.
It’s unlikely that the character Rhys Ifans is playing inVenom: The Last Danceis Dr. Connors from the priorSpider-Manmovies. Not only does the film take place in a totally different universe than both movies, but Ifans isn’t the only Marvel veteran who will be playing a different character in the third and supposedly finalVenomfilm. Also in the cast isChiwetel Ejiofor, who previously played the rogue sorceror Baron Mordo inDoctor StrangeandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Their fleeing from the government may be a matter of concern for the Lethal Protector, but that pales in comparison to an impending symbiote invasion that it hurling toward Earth. Despite the world-ending stakes, the trailer forVenom: The Last Dancealso includes plenty of comedic moments that the series has become known for, such as Venom dancing with Mrs. Chen (Peggy Lee) and a surreal sequence involving a symbiote-possessed horse.
