Venom 3 is Currently in Pre-Production

Tom Hardy’s upcoming movie sequel, Venom 3 is in pre-production. The last time audiences saw Eddie Brock was in a post-credits scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he and Venom briefly entered the MCU and then returned to their own universe, leaving behind a small amount of the symbiote. Hardy has previously expressed interest in expanding the Venom-Verse, which is Sony’s shared universe of Spider-Man villains, including characters like Morbius and Kraven the Hunter.

“Once it’s established, we then have to continue our Venom-verse,” Hardy explained. “But at the same time, we will always be looking to campaign to play with that with all the brothers and sisters who are out there, do you know what I mean? Whether we can connect the dots, that’s up to the constellations, and that’s above my pay grade, but we would be remiss not to think about that when we’re working on the material.”

Venom was released in 2018 and introduced the character of Eddie Brock, a journalist who is investigating experiments involving human trials. He is unknowingly merged with a symbiotic alien that has lethal abilities, and the fusion creates the antihero Venom. The movie explores the complex relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom, as they fight for control over Brock’s body. It was met with mixed reviews, but the commercial success of Venom paved the way for a sequel. Venom: Let There Be Carnage, directed by Andy Serkis, hit theaters in 2021 and reunited audiences with Eddie Brock and Venom. In this installment, Eddie tries to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, who becomes the host of an alien symbiote named Carnage.

Venom 3 will be directed by Kelly Marcel, who previously worked on the scripts for Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Marcel is making her directorial debut with the movie, which marks a significant step in her career. Her involvement in the previous two movies suggests that Venom 3 will maintain the same tone and style as its predecessors.
