As 'Venom: The Last Dance' continues to dominate the international box office, bringing the franchise's total to 1.5 billion dollars, star Tom Hardy and director Kelly Marcel stated that the Sony Marvel films were always intended to culminate as a trilogy, reported Deadline.

"We knew it would be three," said Marcel, who is credited as a writer on all three films and helmed the final instalment. "We knew it was a trilogy and we knew it would end like this from the beginning."
