Venom 3 Resumes Production, Tom Hardy Posts Set Photo
Sony's Marvel movie will be released in less than a year.
Venom 3 is one step closer to hitting movie screens. On Thursday, franchise star and producer Tom Hardy took to Instagram to reveal that Venom 3 has resumed production, showcasing a behind-the-scenes photo of himself and director Kelly Marcel. Venom 3 very briefly started production earlier this year, and is now able to begin production again following the resolution of the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA Hollywood strikes. Last week, the latest tale of Hardy's Eddie Brock / Venom got a release date of November 8, 2024.
Venom 3 will be directed by Kelly Marcel (Fifty Shades of Grey), who wrote and produced the first two Venom movies. In addition to Hardy, Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor are both joining the cast. Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker will all produce alongside Marcel and Hardy.
What Is Venom 3 About?
Plot details for Venom 3 are currently unknown at this time, but fans have suspected that it will follow up on Eddie's multiversal-hopping in the post-credits scenes of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Either way, Hardy has stressed the importance of getting the story right.
"These things [usually] come in threes," Hardy explained in a previous interview with Digital Spy. "If there's going to be a new one – and they depend heavily on the success of each individual one, so you can't count on them ever happening again – every one has got to be as if it was the last one. But I think it's really important, if you go into something, thinking that one, two and three are the same... the same story, the same film. So that you don't surprise yourself by being caught out by suddenly having to do a third from nowhere. There's got to be some continuity into a third and fourth and fifth, and if somebody says 'no', that's fine. Let it go, and you move on to something else."
