The symbiotes have gone full rockstar, and the multiverse has never been this loud.

Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and Venom are back, bickering louder than ever, when Knull’s hive-mind evolves in the most 2020s way possible: through music. A new generation of symbiotes has hijacked the global music scene, turning chart-topping hits into subliminal infection vectors. The plan? Enslave humanity one earworm at a time. Enter the ultimate weapon: Carnage’s twisted rock supergroup “Red Vein Riot,” fronted by a gloriously unhinged Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady, whose screams hit notes that literally shatter glass (and minds).

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man swings in for the chaos, going full undercover roadie alongside Eddie—leather jackets, fake tattoos, terrible fake British accents, and the most awkward mosh-pit dancing ever committed to film. Naomie Harris steals every scene she’s in as the enigmatic symbiote conductor “Siren,” whose voice can make crowds riot or weep on command.

The film is 80 minutes of pure, ridiculous, self-aware madness: backstage brawls with drumsticks and guitar cables, Venom trying (and failing) to do a guitar solo, Spider-Man crowd-surfing while webbing up possessed fans, and escalating musical numbers that somehow blend nu-metal, symphonic black metal, and 80s power ballads.

The climax? An apocalyptic 15-minute concert battle on a floating stage above New York, with Venom and Spider-Man launching a counter-song—a gloriously cheesy, heartfelt power ballad that literally breaks the symbiote control frequency. The crowd goes from brainwashed thrashing to cathartic headbanging in seconds. Final shot: Eddie and Peter sharing a beer on the wrecked stage, Venom quietly humming the chorus in the background.

This is the dumbest, most joyous, most Venom thing ever made.
