Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage writer Kelly Marcel will step behind the camera to direct Venom 3, putting the Marvel franchise in the hands of the woman who has been instrumental in shaping it from the start.
Depending on how you feel about these movies, that's either very good or very bad news, but we're definitely intrigued to find out how this trilogy will end.
Rumours continue to swirl that the threequel will be tied to Madame Web, with Eddie Brock forced to look after the young Peter Parker despite his Symbiote being aware of their hatred for one another elsewhere in the Multiverse. We're not putting too much stock into that leak for now, but Eddie's brief trip to the MCU is bound to come into play.
For starters, photos taken of Venom 3's set in Los Mateos, Spain, confirm the Lethal Protector is still hiding out in Mexico, likely during the Día de los Muertos festival. That doesn't necessarily mean Eddie will stay there, of course, and he may well find his way back to San Francisco...or New York!
In the meantime, Tom Hardy has taken to Instagram to share a new behind-the-scenes photo of him embracing the beast within. He's clearly in costume as Eddie here, but beyond that, this snap sadly doesn't reveal much about what's to come in Venom 3. The actor typically deletes posts like these after sharing them, so we've nabbed a screenshot for you to take a look at before it's potentially removed from Instagram.
Juno Temple has nabbed a lead role, as has Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Chiwetel Ejiofor. Hardy, meanwhile, returns as Eddie and also co-wrote the story with Marcel before she penned the screenplay.
As of now, we expect Venom 3 to be released in theaters on November 8, 2024.
