Venom: The Last Dance has released its first official trailer, featuring Tom Hardy as the Deadly Patronus in the final film of the trilogy. The trailer also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, who previously played Baron Mordo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Is he playing the same character? Poison 3?
Is Baron Mordo in Venom: The Last Dance?
When viewing the trailer, it is possible that Baron Mordo is not in it Venom: The Last Dance. The trailer featured creatures from the home planet of the Symbiote title making their way to Earth, along with government forces trying to prevent it. Somehow, Eddie Brock is believed to be the key to their arrival and so is pursued by the military, with Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character leading the charge. While Venom has been involved with complex journeys at his end Venom: Let There Be Carnageit doesn’t look like that will come into play with this third movie.
However, one could be confused as this would be Ejiofor’s second-third time in a Marvel film, having played the villainous Baron Mordo in the first two Doctor Strange movies. Plus, the Mordo he plays on Multiverse of Madness he’s not the same Mordo from the first Strange film. It’s easy to assume that since this is a Marvel movie, the actor could easily just be playing another variation of the character. Watching the trailer, however, it’s obvious that Ejiofor is simply playing what appears to be Venom’s human foil this time around, similar to something like Tyrese Gibson’s Simon Stroud in Morbius. Finally, this upcoming Poison The film is being produced and released through Sony Pictures, making any connection to Disney’s MCU unlikely.
