Venom fans, get ready for some thrilling news! Eddie Brock, played by Tom Hardy, will be returning for Venom 3, the third installment in Sony’s Spider-Man villain universe. The franchise is gearing up for some significant changes in this upcoming film, but you’ll need to exercise a bit of patience.
Eddie Brock, a character with a rich history in Marvel Comics, has evolved from being a formidable adversary of the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to a Lethal Protector who strikes fear into the hearts of even the most menacing criminals. With his iconic appearance, compelling personality, and a surprisingly sharp sense of humor, it’s no surprise that fans have been eager to see Venom on the big screen for quite some time.

Many of you may recall Venom’s cinematic debut in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. However, the character was at the center of some controversy surrounding that film. Spider-Man 3’s interpretation of Venom, while having its share of fans, left many wanting a more faithful adaptation. In 2018, we got a standalone Venom film that aimed to set the character in his own universe, separate from Spider-Man. While some fans had initial reservations about this approach, most agreed that the film was an enjoyable experience, largely thanks to Tom Hardy’s charismatic performance.
The momentum continued with the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), which introduced the popular character Carnage, portrayed by Woody Harrelson.
After a surprise appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically the end credits scene of Let There Be Carnage, followed by a return to his own universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Venom fans have been eagerly awaiting the next installment. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait much longer, as Venom 3 is actively in development, bringing a new story, a new director, and a new writer into the mix.
So, what’s in store for Venom 3? Let’s dive into the details about the cast, director, production status, and more. This article was last updated on July 31, so you’re getting the latest release date information.
When and Where Is Venom 3 Coming Out?
Sony has officially announced that Venom 3 is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on July 12, 2024. The previous Venom films enjoyed tremendous success at the box office, so a theatrical release was all but guaranteed. The first film, in particular, raked in a jaw-dropping $850 million worldwide, securing its place among the top 25 highest-grossing comic book movies ever made. Venom: Let There Be Carnage didn’t fall behind either, pulling in over $500 million with a budget of $100 million.
Originally, Venom 3 was expected to hit theaters in October 2024. However, Sony’s decision to move up the release date suggests their confidence in delivering the film, even in the face of the challenges posed by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes affecting production (more on that below).
Once the theatrical run concludes, a streaming release for Venom 3 becomes highly likely. Sony has historically collaborated with Netflix to release many of their high-profile films on the streaming platform, as seen with other Spider-Man spin-offs like Morbius. Additionally, the groundbreaking partnership between Sony and Disney+ has established a new precedent by bringing some of the most significant Spider-Man-related movies to the Disney+ platform. At present, Spider-Man fans can enjoy a collection of Spidey films on Disney+, including Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Venom also became available for streaming on Disney+ as of May 12. Hence, it’s entirely possible that Venom 3 will find its streaming home on Disney+ once its theatrical run comes to an end.
Is There a Trailer for Venom 3?
As of now, there isn’t any footage available for Venom 3, so we don’t have a trailer to share at this moment. However, to whet your appetite, here’s a trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage that might satiate the cravings of even the most diabolical web-slinging enthusiasts.
When Is Venom 3 Filming (And What’s the Production Status)?
The earliest piece of information we received about Venom 3’s production came from an Instagram post by Tom Hardy, where he revealed that the script for the film was in the works, possibly even completed. Venom 3 began production in June 2023, despite the ongoing writers’ strike by the WGA. However, things have hit a standstill due to the historic SAG-AFTRA strike that commenced on July 13, 2023. This means that until the situation is resolved and both actors and writers return to work, the project won’t be moving forward. Despite the strikes, considering its release date is in the summer of 2024, it appears that Sony is confident about getting the film completed on time. Whether this optimism pays off remains to be seen. In the meantime, stay tuned to Collider for updates on the ongoing WGA-SAG strike and its potential impact on Venom 3.

As always, Tom Hardy will reprise his role as Venom and Eddie Brock. The Oscar-nominated actor has a deep connection to the character and a genuine affection for bringing him to life. This time around, he’s expected to have even more influence on the creative direction of the Venom series. Joining Tom Hardy is Juno Temple, known for her role in Ted Lasso, in a leading role that has yet to be unveiled. We’re still waiting for news about the return of other characters like Eddie Brock’s ex-girlfriend Anne Weying, played by Michelle Williams, or the enigmatic detective Patrick Mulligan, portrayed by Stephen Graham. In the comics, Pat Mulligan becomes the first host of the Toxin symbiote, a character with a fascinating storyline. It will be interesting to see how this character develops in the film. Additionally, Chiwetel Ejiofor, known for his role as Karl Mordo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is also part of the Venom 3 cast. However, his role is being kept under wraps for now, leaving fans curious about whether he’s reprising his MCU role or taking on a new character in the Venom universe.
Who’s Making Venom 3?
Kelly Marcel, the talented writer behind both Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, will take on the director’s role for Venom 3. This is a significant shift in the director’s chair, following Ruben Fleischer, who directed the first Venom film, and Andy Serkis, who helmed the second installment. Marcel is not only directing but will also be penning the screenplay. Adding to the creative collaboration, the series star, Tom Hardy, will co-write the screenplay. This promises an exciting blend of talent behind the scenes. In addition to their creative roles, both Hardy and Marcel will be involved in producing the project, alongside key producers Avi Arad, Hutch Parker, Amy Pascal, and Matt Tolmach. With this team in place, Venom 3 is set to bring a fresh perspective and creativity to the franchise.
What’s the Venom Story So Far?
While plot details for Venom 3 are still a well-guarded secret, let’s quickly recap what Eddie Brock and Venom have experienced in their cinematic journey thus far.
In the first film, mysterious extraterrestrial organisms known as Symbiotes crash-land on Earth and fall into the hands of billionaire Carlton Drake, who believes these alien life forms could lead to the next stage of human evolution. Investigative reporter Eddie Brock’s nosiness leads him to confront Drake’s unscrupulous practices, ultimately costing him his job and his girlfriend. Later, Eddie’s path crosses with Dr. Dora Skirth, who reveals the existence of the Symbiotes in Drake’s facility. This encounter results in Eddie bonding with the Symbiote known as Venom. Despite some moral conflicts, Eddie and Venom unite to thwart Drake and the malevolent Symbiote Riot’s plans for world domination.
In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie faces his past demons when he encounters Cletus Kasady, a ruthless serial killer he had a hand in imprisoning. Their encounter leads to Kasady becoming a Symbiote himself, transforming into the formidable Carnage. With the help of his mutant girlfriend, Frances, Cletus seeks revenge on Eddie but meets a gruesome end at the hands of Venom. This film also introduces Detective Mulligan, hinting at the presence of the Symbiote Toxin. It concludes with Eddie and Venom fleeing the country and going into hiding.
Their journey takes a twist as they are transported to the MCU, courtesy of Doctor Strange’s spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home. While it may seem puzzling, given the spell’s intended purpose, Eddie and Venom’s presence in the MCU is intriguing. They suspect a connection to Spider-Man, portrayed by Tom Holland, in their interdimensional travel. However, they are soon sent back to their own dimension, leaving behind a fragment of the Venom Symbiote, which could spell trouble for Peter Parker and the broader MCU. The stage is set for some exciting developments in Venom 3.
