The third part of the “Venom” series is finally titled “Venom: The Last Dance.” Sony has also moved the film's release date forward to October 25, 2024, instead of the previously announced November 8 date.
Story details are still being kept under wraps, but Tom Hardy will return as the deadly protector Eddie Brock/Venom in the film, which also stars Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clark Backo.
Kelly Marcel will make her directorial debut with the project. She also wrote the script from a story she developed with Hardy. The film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Hutch Parker, and Marcel Hardy.
The first two “Venom” films (2018’s “Venom” directed by Ruben Fleischer and the 2021 sequel “Let There Be Carnage” directed by Andy Serkis) earned $1.3 billion at the box office.
Sony first announced a third film was in the works during its CinemaCon showcase in April 2022. The project will be Venom's first appearance since the credits sequence in 2021's “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
In February, Temple spoke about the project diverse, to tease that filming was about to end. “We're getting close to the end right now,” she said. “It's been such a wild, wonderful ride. It's so new to me. It's a great set! It's crazy. It's been so much fun, and I've worked with such amazing people. I've been so lucky in my career to have the most amazing cast. I can't wait.” “Until he gets out into the world. I think it would be a good idea.”
Production on “Venom 3” was halted due to the SAG-AFTRA strike last year, but cameras started rolling again at the end of November.
The Columbia Pictures film will be released in premium large formats and IMAX.
