The highly anticipated “Venom 3” is poised to conclude Sony’s Spider-Man “spinoff” movie series, offering fans a final adventure with Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote. Since the introduction of Venom in 2018, the movies have been guilty pleasure success stories, blending action, humor, and a unique anti-hero narrative. The journey of the conjoined “Lethal Protector” has captivated audiences, making each installment a thrilling addition to the Spider-Man Universe.
In 2018, Sony Pictures ventured into creating Marvel movies independently of Marvel Studios, marking the birth of the Spider-Man Universe. A notable success from this venture was the introduction of Venom, a film based on the iconic Spider-Man villain, featuring Tom Hardy as the enigmatic Eddie Brock.
The film’s popularity soared, setting the stage for a sequel, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which also achieved considerable success at the post-pandemic box office in 2021. Now, the eagerly awaited third installment, simply titled “Venom 3,” is on the horizon, promising to conclude the trilogy with a bang. Here’s everything we know about Venom 3.
The Director’s Chair: Kelly Marcel Takes the Helm
Continuing the tradition of changing directors for each Venom installment, Kelly Marcel is set to make her directorial debut with “Venom 3.”
Marcel, previously an actress turned accomplished screenwriter, has been involved in crafting the narratives for both preceding Venom movies. Her portfolio includes notable works such as “Saving Mr. Banks,” “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and contributions to television shows like “Terra Nova” and “The Changeling.”
Venom 3 Release Date
“Venom 3” is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 8, 2024, as reported by sources. Additionally, its streaming premiere is set for Netflix in 2025, ensuring that fans can enjoy the thrilling conclusion to the Venom trilogy on both the big screen and the streaming platform.
As “Venom 3” inches closer to its release date, the excitement and speculation among fans continue to grow. With an intriguing mix of familiar faces, new additions, and the promise of a captivating narrative, the film is poised to deliver a fitting conclusion to the Venom trilogy, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
Plot Speculations: Picking Up the Trail from the MCU Cameo
As of now, concrete details about the plot of “Venom 3” remain shrouded in mystery. However, the film is expected to resume the narrative thread left dangling in the post-credits scene of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.”
The second film concluded with Eddie Brock and Venom returning home after a brief foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The duo found themselves on the run, escaping prison with Venom’s assistance. “Venom 3” is likely to explore the consequences of this escape and delve into the reasons behind their return to San Francisco.
Notably, parts of the film were shot on location in Spain and London, hinting at a potential shift in setting to an international stage. Questions arise about the circumstances that lead Eddie and Venom to Europe and the adversaries they might face in this new locale.
Star-Studded Ensemble: Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor Join the Cast
While Tom Hardy reprises his roles as Eddie Brock and Venom, two confirmed additions to the cast are Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Temple, known for her role in “Ted Lasso,” is slated to play a co-lead role in “Venom 3,” suggesting her alignment with Venom and a possible romantic subplot with Eddie.
Ejiofor, with Marvel experience from “Doctor Strange,” is expected to bring a fresh character to the mix, though his role remains undisclosed. Speculations abound about whether he will befriend Eddie or emerge as the primary antagonist.
Returning Faces: The Uncertainty of Supporting Cast Members
Despite the logical expectation of bringing back supporting cast members from the first two movies, no confirmations have been made.
Michelle Williams, who portrayed Eddie’s ex-fiancée Anne Weying, and Reid Scott, who played Anne’s fiancé Dan Lewis, are yet to be confirmed. Stephen Graham, who survived apparent fatal wounds in “Let There Be Carnage,” might return, potentially bonded to another symbiote, as hinted in the previous film.
Connection to the MCU: A Symbiote Left Behind in Spider-Man: No Way Home
While not a direct tie-in, Tom Hardy’s cameo as Eddie Brock/Venom in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” left a piece of the Venom symbiote in the MCU.
Although the universes are separate, this intriguing setup could pave the way for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to bond with the symbiote in the future. Sony’s intentions to bring Venom and Spider-Man together on-screen have been no secret, and the success of “Venom 3” may influence these plans.
Trailer Anticipation: Awaiting the First Glimpse
With production for “Venom 3” quickly resuming after potential disruptions, expectations are high for a trailer debut at CinemaCon in April. Sony’s penchant for unveiling trailers at this event, as seen with “Kraven the Hunter” in 2023, suggests that fans might get their first glimpse of the highly anticipated sequel sooner rather than later.
