How To Watch The Venom Movies In Order (2024)

The Venom franchise is a part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU). The movies follow the adventures of journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venom, the titular symbiote that takes over his body. Even though Venom is a prominent Spider-Man villain, the Venom movies take place in a different continuity as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Our guide below shows you how and where you can watch all the Venom movies streaming online.

How to watch the Venom movies in chronological order

The Venom films are easy to stream as all three entries are released in chronological order. An MCU film is also sandwiched between the second and third movies because of a post-credits scene that connects Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the Venom movies.

• Venom (2018)
• Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
• Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
• Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

The first one is 2018’s Venom that gives Eddie Brock an origin story. This film introduces Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), an investigative journalist who accidentally merges with a symbiote while investigating the Life Foundation, led by Carlton Drake. The movie explores Eddie’s relationship with Venom, as they work together to stop Drake's villainous plans. While not directly part of the MCU, Venom sets up a dark, anti-heroic world for Eddie and the symbiote.

In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie and Venom face off against the more toxic symbiote Carnage. This sequel continues Eddie’s story as he and Venom face a new symbiote threat in the form of Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson), a serial killer who bonds with an alien symbiote to become Carnage. The film focuses on the evolving relationship between Eddie and Venom, exploring themes of co-dependency and chaos. It also teases connections to the larger multiverse, setting the stage for future films and crossover potential.

MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is also included in this list as it has a brief post-credits scene that features Venom and Eddie vacationing at a tropical bar. As the MCU deals with multiversal dimensions, it’s clear Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is set in another timeline as the MCU. But it’s still an interesting Easter Egg that also teases the possibility of Venom joining the MCU. It’s revealed that part of the Venom symbiote has been teleported from the Sony dimension to MCU’s current timeline. Maybe, a crossover between Tom Hardy’s Venom and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is imminent in the future.

Finally, in Venom: The Last Dance, Eddie and Venom’s saga comes to an end as both antiheroes are on the run from humans and other symbiotes. This movie introduces many other symbiotes from outer space along with Knull, the mysterious God-like ruler who created Venom and every other symbiote.

Each film adds depth to Venom’s journey as an anti-hero, combining action, humor, and darker themes surrounding identity and power.
