Venom 3: Everything We Know So Far about the Upcoming Movie

Venom fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the third film in the franchise since the second film’s release. The excitement has been exacerbated by the fact that the franchise’s popularity has grown, even with a lukewarm reception from film critics. In Venom 3, the iconic symbiote character is set to continue his adventures, and fans can expect the stakes to be much higher, with Kelly Marcel taking the director’s chair. In this article, we will discuss everything known so far about the upcoming Venom 3.

Release Date and Confirmation

Sony Pictures has yet to announce the official release date for Venom 3. But, according to insider information, the film is scheduled to hit theaters in the summer of 2024, with the tentative date of July 12. In addition to this, producer Amy Pascal revealed that the film was in the planning stages just around the time of Spider-Man: No Way Home’s release.

Cast and Characters

At present, there is only confirmation regarding Tom Hardy’s return as the anti-hero Eddie Brock. Moreover, screenwriter Kelly Marcel, who worked on the screenplays for Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, is expected to return to direct as well. As for the rest of the cast, it is uncertain if the previous films’ characters, such as Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) and Dr. Dan Lewis (Reid Scott) will reprise their respective roles.

Possible Antagonist

Detective Patrick Mulligan, Stephen Graham’s character, may play a more prominent role in the third film, given his mysterious transformation in the Let There Be Carnage post-credits scene. Additionally, he was shown to be Toxin in the comics, serving as another symbiote host who used his powers for personal gain.

Spider-Man’s Inclusion

The possibility of Spider-Man’s appearance in Venom 3 has been a burning question for many fans. After all, Eddie Brock briefly appeared in the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home, so the possibility of them clashing felt like an inevitability. However, given that the multiverse now exists in the MCU, and with Morbius interacting with it in his standalone movie, anything can happen.

Plot and Speculation

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but many believe it will pick up after the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where Eddie became a fugitive and went on the run with Venom. But, with Marcel taking on the director’s role, there is no telling where she will take the franchise. Fans speculate that the third installment will expand the symbiote universe and give more exploration of alternate dimensions and how they impact the story.

Conclusion

Venom 3 is set to be one of the most anticipated films in the coming years, thanks to its popularity and the promise of more symbiote action. Despite the lack of details revealed about plot points and cast members, fans can look forward to Kelly Marcel’s leadership behind the camera, and Tom Hardy’s return as Eddie Brock. The film promises to be a thrilling ride that will leave audiences wanting more, as the Venom series continues to expand in the comic book movie landscape.
