Venom 4: Lethal Genesis (2025) delivers a high-voltage, action-packed continuation of Eddie Brock’s (Tom Hardy) symbiotic saga, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be both a hero and a monster. After the events of Venom 3: Maximum Carnage, Eddie and Venom are facing new, even more dangerous threats, all while exploring deeper questions about their connection and their place in the world.

Plot Overview

The movie picks up after Eddie Brock and Venom’s uneasy truce, as they’ve settled into a bizarre but functional partnership. However, a new adversary emerges in the form of The Lethal Protector (played by a new villain, possibly Keanu Reeves), a merciless anti-hero with an advanced version of symbiote technology that threatens to destabilize the fragile peace Eddie and Venom have built. This new antagonist has mastered not only symbiotes but also the dark art of manipulating the human mind, challenging Eddie’s sanity and his bond with Venom.

At the same time, Eddie’s past begins to catch up with him, forcing him to confront unresolved issues from his career as a journalist. As the stakes rise, Eddie must make a decision: go on the run with Venom or confront his enemies head-on. But with a twisted new symbiote threat lurking around every corner, Eddie and Venom’s complicated relationship will be tested like never before.
