AGENT VENOM Movie Rumored To Be In Development At Sony Pictures

Sony Pictures may have completed its Venom trilogy with The Last Dance, but we're now hearing that the studio is planning to continue the franchise with an Agent Venom movie...

Sony Pictures made it clear that Venom: The Last Dance would be the final part of a trilogy, and while the movie did appear to wrap-up Eddie Brock and his Symbiote pal's story (while leaving the door open for more, of course), we may now know how the studio is planning to keep the franchise going.

According to scooper Daniel Richtman, an Agent Venom movie is in development.

In the comics, Agent Venom was Peter Parker's former bully turned friend Eugene "Flash" Thompson, who bonded with the Venom Symbiote after losing his legs in service of his country. Tony Revolori currently plays Flash in the Spider-Man movies, but The Last Dance may have given us some idea of how Sony intends to introduce a whole new take on the character.

If you haven't seen Venom: The Last Dance yet, be warned of major spoilers from this point on.

As Venom sacrifices himself to prevent Knull from invading the planet, we see one of the Xenophages eating the legs of one of Strickland's soldiers, whose last name is given as Thompson. Then, in the post-credits scene, we see a cockroach near a broken vial that had previously been used to house a viral shed of the symbiote.

Though the studio may decide to ignore this set-up (wouldn't be the first time) and go with a different origin for the next Venom host, it seems likely that a new version of Flash Thompson will be cast at some point to continue The Lethal Protector's adventures in the SSU.

What do you make of this rumor? Any interest in an Agent Venom movie? Let us know in the comment section down below.

“Eddie and Venom are on the run," reads the synopsis. "Hunted by both their worlds and with net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtain down on Venom and Eddie’s last day”

In addition to Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road; The Dark Knight Rises) in his dual roles as Eddie Brock and the voice of the Venom symbiote, the supporting cast features Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave; Doctor Strange), Juno Temple (Atonement; Ted Lasso), Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill; The Amazing Spider-Man), Peggy Lu (Venom; Crazy Rich Asians), Alanna Ubach (Legally Blonde; Coco), Stephen Graham (The Irishman; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Clark Backo (Supernatural; The Changeling), and Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso; Spider-Man: No Way Home).

Great. Another borderline 2 hour live-action "f**k you" to Spider-Man/Venom fans.

@harryba11zack - Manganiello would be cool but the Venom movies didn’t take place in the Raimi universe. At best could have been the Garfield universe, not sure we want Chris Zylka back tho

@harryba11zack - Came here to say this. He deserves it too since they canceled his deadstroke movie. Doesnt have to be Raimi’s universe but the flash can just look the same here [frick]it at this point

Just watched Venom TLD. Not good.

Im ready for some new approach in the DCU where the boss is a creative himself.

The Sony verse and the MCU are a chore noawadays. Both bankrupt creatively

I wouldn't mind it if they team Agent Venom up with Kraven and Morbius (and Madame Web?) to fight Knull. The sooner they get the inevitable team-up and Knull over, the better.

I'd expect the team to be the Spider-verse movie Sony is wanting to set-up, which would be formed by Madame Web (Dakota Johnson)

• Agent Venom
• Spider-Woman (Sydney Sweeney)
• Araña (Isabela Merced)
• Spider-Girl (Celeste O'Connor)
• Spider-man Noir (Nicolas Cage)
• Spider-man (Andrew Garfield)

The others seem to be getting set-up for a Sinister Six movie:
• Morbius (Jared Leto)
• Kraven (Aaron Taylor-Johnson)
• Vulture (Michael Keaton)

@Scarilian - I wouldn't mind Madame Web be the one to pull the various characters together to fight a common threat in one universe.

I just really hope that's seperate from Garfield, Maguire or Holland. Sony's villains + Spider-Noir (and maybe Spider-Girl) fighting Knull could be fun though.

Joking aside, this seems to fit right in with Sony's track record. If they can do away with the slap stick comedy of these last ones and make it a proper action flick, i can it being a b grade pop corn flick.

He'll be too busy playing in another IP's sandbox.

@DrReedRichards - You're either referring to One piece or the hopes he gets to go back to DCU following the regime change, but i don't think that will get in the way.

Look at Taylor Johnson, or even Ejiofor more recently.

DrReedRichards - 11/4/2024, 1:32 PM
@Conquistador -

Definitely referring to his part as Crocodile, hence the "sandbox" line.

But yeah, in all seriousness, I don't see him taking on a SPUMC role if OPLA works out just as well in its 2nd season.

The Venom franchise is closing in on $2 billion at the box office (between the three movies), so it's not surprising they're going to make more of them.

Sony's on the hunt to have an avenger level team up, but only symbiote characters.

Can we just be done with spinoffs that don't involve Spider-man?

This is perfect for Manganiello, especially since Deathstroke didn't work out for him.

Holy crap you commenters got it right, Joe Manignelo would KILL IT in this role!

He's probably too busy, as he's working on One Piece Season 2 and Season 3.

Awful.

If true, it means we will never see the iconic Eddie Brock/Venom vs Spider-Man saga in the MCU.

Sony decision makers are the spawn of Satan’s a$$hole.

I blame all you fanboys who are always defending Sonys trash universe and paying to watch their garbage movies.

A Spider-Man universe without a Spider-Man is beyond pathetic

You morons are the reason they keep making these terrible movies and the reason the MCU will never reclaim the rights to Spider-Man and his countless associated characters.

Short of Disney pulling the trigger and all out buying Sonys movie division, Spider-Man will never truly be free to swing through the MCU.

Shame!

A pox on all your houses!

Venom 3 will cross $100 million domestic next weekend and probably have a final box office between $450 and $500 million.
Having cost only $120 million plus between $60 and $80 million for Promotion, it will turn a profit.
