“Venom” is Getting a Sequel

Tom Hardy in "Venom"

There’s a little more poison left…

Venom performed so well at the box office, that it is no surprise a sequel is coming our way.

The comic book character first appeared in Spider-Man 3 in 2007, but received his own origin story last year when Tom Hardy portrayed Eddie Brock as the journalist gains superpowers after being bound to an alien symbiote whose species plans to invade Earth.

Venom grossed $855 million at the worldwide box office.

Sony is now working on a sequel to the Marvel film with Kelly Marcel returning to pen the script as well as executive produce.

Hardy, Michelle Williams, and Woody Harrelson will also return, though it is believed that director Ruben Fleischer may be too busy filming Zombieland 2.

Venom 2 is expected to be released in October 2020.
