Venom: The Last Danceis out now, bringing the Tom Hardy-starring trilogy to a close.

As anyone who watched that film will know, however, Mulligan is not really dead.

Toxin roars

He survived his encounter with Carnage and now comes off as infected with a symbiote of his own…

So, does that mean that Toxin features in Venom: The Last Dance?

Mulligan survives and does indeed transform into Toxin a dark red symbiote.

Toxin scares a crook.

Most recently he bonded with teenager Bren Waters.

That’s all very different to the character we see in Venom: The Last Dance.

In the movie Mulligan is imprisoned in Area 55, the secret base underneath the decommissioned Area 51.

So, is Stephen Graham’s character in Venom: The Last Dance meant to be Toxin?

The answer is: we don’t know, but probably not.
