1.8 out of 5: Hated by critics, adored by the public, will this Marvel villain return for a 3rd film?

Released in cinemas in October 2018, the first episode of Venom became a worldwide hit, grossing $856 million! The second part, titled Let There Be Carnage, meanwhile, brought in 506 million, in the context of the post-Covid pandemic.

While the two films were panned by critics and some fans of Spider-Man’s famous foe, the general public did not hide their delight.

Tom Hardy enjoys playing this character. Venom goes into a post-generic sequence where he leaves the symbiote part of the MCU universe before returning to his dimension.

Will Eddie Brock return as Venom in the 3rd installment? After raking in 1.3 billion greenbacks in 2 movies, Sony isn’t about to release an alien symbiote that worships the human brain.

Venom 3 is definitely in the pipes! If the first two iterations were directed by Ruben Fleischer, then Andy Serkis, this 3rd episode will be directed by Kelly Marcel. The latter co-wrote and co-produced Venom 1 and 2. He also co-wrote the script for 3 with Tom Hardy.

The movie is currently in pre-production, Tom Hardy revealed Instagram on February 22.

So far, there is no information about the plot of Venom 3. Will he finally meet Spider-Man for an epic finale? Will Tom Holland, the MCU Weaver, be there?

Will we see a new Spider-Man connected to Eddie Brock’s universe? So many questions that will remain unanswered for now. However, it would be surprising if Spider-Man’s sworn enemy Venom doesn’t face off against the latter for the final battle in the movie.

What’s more, Tom Hardy wouldn’t mind mixing the worlds between Sony and the MCU: “I wouldn’t do this job if I wasn’t awake and open to any possibility or opportunity or excited about it. If both parties are willing to do it and if it’s beneficial to both, I don’t see why. It didn’t work.”he confided.

The release date of Venom 3 is not yet known.
