VENOM 3 Officially Confirmed To Be In The Works As First KRAVEN THE HUNTER Footage Is Revealed At CinemaCon

In news that should surprise no one, Sony confirmed at CinemaCon last night that Venom 3 is officially in the works, while a few snippets of footage were also shown from their Kraven the Hunter movie.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage grossed over $500 million at a time when the box office was still recovering from the pandemic, and with a $110 million budget, the sequel was obviously a big success for Sony Pictures. 2018's Venom performed quite a bit better with a massive $850+ million haul, of course, but numbers like these are more than enough to justify a third instalment of the Marvel Comics franchise.

Well, that's officially happening. While no details were shared during the Sony Pictures' CinemaCon presentation yesterday evening, a third Venom movie is currently in the works.

We don't know if Andy Serkis will return to take the helm following Venom: Let There Be Carnage, though many fans will no doubt be hoping to see him back behind the camera. After all, he seemed to have a much better grasp of the character than Venom director Ruben Fleischer, and laid the groundwork for a third chapter by teasing plans for Detective Patrick Mulligan to transform into Toxin.

While Venom briefly visited the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we're not anticipating Tom Holland's web-slinger factoring into this threequel as the two never met.

Sony also shared a title treatment for Kraven the Hunter, along with a few seconds of footage. Apparently, all it showed was Aaron Taylor-Johnson hanging on to a car and trying to punch through the windshield as well as a scene with him running through the snow. It's still early days for the movie, though we are a little surprised that there was no "money shot" of the actor in Kraven's classic costume.

Venom 3 doesn't have a release date, but Kraven the Hunter arrives on January 13, 2023.

Venom 3 and Ghostbusters 4. Two totally unnecessary sequels. Afterlife was the perfect ending to the franchise.

ScaryTerry - 4/26/2022, 6:41 AM

@Repian - I’m leaning toward agreement, but I have to admit I’m interested to see where GB4 will go. Venom 3 seems completely unnecessary.

Ha1frican - 4/26/2022, 9:29 AM

@Repian - I’m actually down for GB4, I thought the last one didn’t really close the book on anything it created a great springboard for a new start

thedrudo - 4/26/2022, 9:46 AM

@Ha1frican - Agreed. It wraps up the first two movies and sets up the future of the franchise. Just hoping it doesn't lean too heavy in to the OG movies. I want to see it start paving its own path.

dracula - 4/26/2022, 4:48 AM

I get why venom 3 is happening, 2 did make more than 4 times its budget, but for sure wont be watching.

Hopefully Ghost Busters 4 is as good as Afterlife

Sony better hope Kraven does better than Morbius. Doubt anyone is going to get hyped about bunny and madame web

SimplyAz - 4/26/2022, 4:51 AM

@dracula -

Ghostbusters Afterlife surprised me with how good it was, also such an emotional ending.

xfactor - 4/26/2022, 8:04 AM

@dracula - Sony pictures are just dumping money at their marvel properties at this point. Kraven is in dee trouble

SimplyAz - 4/26/2022, 4:49 AM

Surprised at the struggle to make good Venom movies, the bar was low after the first one, but somehow the second was even worse.

dracula - 4/26/2022, 4:55 AM

@SimplyAz - Only good venom movie

SimplyAz - 4/26/2022, 5:35 AM

@dracula -

A great movie
Hope Leigh Whannell does more Sci Fi movies

Tasmaniac - 4/26/2022, 5:45 AM

@dracula - Such a good movie.

MrDandy - 4/26/2022, 9:59 AM

@dracula - wrong. Sputnik is also a good Venom movie

ChrisRed - 4/26/2022, 4:58 AM

I for one really enjoyed the Venom movies, especially the second one. It’s so over the top and entertaining, just like the Venom/Carnage comics from the 90’s.
I guess Toxin will be in the next one but I’m also hoping for a villain without a symbiote. Someone like Jack O’lantern from the Agent Venom series. Also, Anti-Venom would be awesome.

Twenty23Three - 4/26/2022, 5:03 AM

Sony will keep churning out these terrible Venom movies for a while I fear.

Superheromoviefan - 4/26/2022, 5:19 AM

just stop it
sony's spiderman universe is just trash
stick to animated like into the spidervere

Frshcoupe - 4/26/2022, 5:30 AM

Don’t know why anyone is supporting Venom…should be treated like Morbius so Sony can get off their high horse.

MosquitoFarmer - 4/26/2022, 9:05 AM

@Frshcoupe - Do you also not know why some people enjoy things?

bobevanz - 4/26/2022, 5:47 AM

I'm going to Cinemacon next year, that feels like heaven for me lol

roboticJohnson - 4/26/2022, 5:51 AM

My headcanon is that the sony execs watched all the great superhero movies like fant4stic, catwoman, batman & robin, howard the duck, the spirit and everything like that, and went "yeah, we want what they have". And they're succeeding too much.

I'd be more surprised if this didn't happen. Sony is going to milk this cow for as long as they can, critics be damned.

DemonTweeks - 4/26/2022, 7:00 AM

venom 3..... can we not have venom just fighting another symbiote and instead look elsewhere in the Sony owned catalogue of characters ? i know there are a million and one symbiotes to choose from but at this stage it will just seem like more of the same rather than a move in direction.

Grab Andrew Garfields Spiderman and make it a buddy movie with Venom loving Garfield and wanting to be friends with him but Eddie not liking him and finding him annoying. plenty of jealousy related jokes etc.

Ha1frican - 4/26/2022, 9:32 AM

@DemonTweeks - Considering the scoured the Spiderman Universe and came up with El Muerto as their next project I have a feeling that’s way too much to ask.

“While Venom briefly visited the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we're not anticipating Tom Holland's web-slinger factoring into this threequel as the two never met.”

Ha1frican - 4/26/2022, 9:31 AM

Venom was bad, Venom 2 was even worse, and I get the feeling this will be the Spiderman 3 of this franchise. I won’t be watching this or at the very least I won’t be paying for it.

MUTO123 - 4/26/2022, 9:58 AM

I’m not even a Venom fan, but it genuinely weirds me out seeing Venom fans being SO happy with this version of the character. On the Eddie front, nothing about him in the comics feels like it’s made it to the screen. Yeah, Topher Grace might not have been the super bulky guy who’s lifting weights all the time… but neither is Tom Hardy; he’s a [frick]ing schlub in these movies. And in Spider-Man 3, Eddie at least hated Peter for screwing him over while the symbiote hated Spider-Man for abandoning it, and with these movies you don’t get ANY of that.

Plus, for someone who constantly talks about being “the lethal protector” and wants to go out and bite people’s heads, this version of Venom is such a whiny bitch who barely accomplishes anything and mostly just cracks unfunny jokes, and is NEVER scary or threatening at all. And from what little I’ve read, he doesn’t act like that in the comics. If I was a Venom fan, I’d be pissed off, because it would make non-fans like me go “WHY do people think this character’s cool again?”

I've never seen a studio be so devoid of self-awareness as Sony with their Spider-Man universe.
