Venom Trailer Sparks Confusion Over Spider-Man Continuity

Jun 04, 2024 5:33 PM

The new trailer for "Venom: The Last Dance" introduces a continuity error that has puzzled Spider-Man and MCU fans. The trailer features Chiwetel Ejiofor in a role that appears different from his portrayal of Mordo in the Doctor Strange films. He is seen collecting the symbiote left behind in the No Way Home post-credits scene, raising questions about the film's timeline and universe. Fans are debating whether Ejiofor is playing a multi-universe character or if this is a plot hole similar to casting Gemma Chan in different roles within the MCU.

nWhy is Chiwetel Ejiofor playing a new character in "Venom: The Last Dance"?

Ejiofor's appearance suggests he may be portraying a different character than Mordo, possibly due to the multiverse storyline. It could also be a continuity error or a strategic plot twist linking multiple universes.

"Venom: The Last Dance" continues the saga of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who must navigate the complexities of the multiverse. With the appearance of MCU characters and unresolved plot points from "Spider-Man: No Way Home," the film is set to generate significant interest ahead of its October 25, 2024 release. Notably, actor Rhys Ifans also appears in the trailer, adding to the speculation and excitement among fans.
