Venom's current state spans three kinds of release. On the film side, Venom: The Last Dance, the final chapter of the trilogy, began streaming on Netflix on June 5, 2026, roughly seven months after its theatrical release. Tom Hardy stars as Eddie Brock, with Kelly Marcel directing and co-writing the script with Hardy. The film follows Eddie and the symbiote facing a new threat.

On the merchandising side, Medicom Toy announced on July 23, 2026 that Carnage from Venom: Let There Be Carnage is joining its MAFEX action figure line. That figure stands approximately 23 cm tall, includes four interchangeable head parts and tentacle accessories, and costs 19,580 yen with a May 2027 release. It shares the announcement window with an Avengers: Endgame Iron Spider renewal and a Moon Knight figure from the Disney+ series.

In publishing, Venom is one of five Marvel manga titles that launched on Kadokawa's KadoComi site in Japan on October 12, 2026, following Marvel's announcement of the Kadokawa partnership at a New York Comic Con panel on October 11. Iron Man and Spider-Man lead the slate, which also includes Deadpool, Spider-Gwen, and Venom. Each title's first chapter opens with a free preview.

The three stories track the character through streaming, collectibles, and manga, with no shared production details beyond the established films.
