Venom 3 in Pre Production
53Tom Hardy is gearing up for another season of playing Eddie Brock, also known as Venom, in the upcoming third installment of the Venom film franchise. In a recent Instagram post, the actor shared a behind-the-scenes video from a previous Venom movie and announced that the third film has entered pre-production.
Hardy first played the character in the original 2018 film, where he faced off against the Riot symbiote and its host, Carlton Drake. In addition to playing Eddie Brock, Hardy also voiced the Venom symbiote, creating a hilarious dynamic between the two characters.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Venom ever since the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage in the fall of 2021. The character was also seen in the post-credits scene for Spider-Man: No Way Home, leaving a small piece of the Venom symbiote in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it’s unclear if he will appear in future MCU films, the fact that the third Venom film is entering pre-production suggests that Sony still has more stories to tell about the character.
Sony has been expanding their Spider-Man Universe with upcoming projects like Kraven the Hunter, which stars Aaron Taylor Johnson as the titular character. In the comics, Kraven is the world’s best hunter and becomes obsessed with hunting Spider-Man after believing him to be the world’s most dangerous predator. It’s unknown if Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will appear in Kraven’s origin story.
With the third Venom film entering pre-production, it’s possible that filming could begin later this year. Fans will have to wait and see what adventures Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote will embark on next, but one thing’s for sure: Tom Hardy is ready for another season of playing this iconic character.
