Venom was reached with so-so reviews and some subpar feedback. That being said, it also made $856.1 million in the worldwide box office, from a $100 million dollar budget. So it's safe to say it made quite enough money back, and there's enough of an audience out there that want to see a sequel. Good news for them, because that's exactly what they'll get.
Cinematographer Robert Richardson talked with
Collider about
Venom 2, so here's what he had to say.
“I was looking forward to entering into that arena with Batman years ago with Ben [Affleck]. I thought, ‘Well this is something I haven’t done that I would love to try to do.’ And then Andy Serkis, who I worked with on Breathe, gave me a call a month ago and said that he was up for this and would I be willing. I’d seen the film. I watched it again, then they sent me a script and I felt like, yeah, I would say yes anyway to Andy just because I would say yes to Andy, but I also think it’s a great…"
He continued, "I think it’s unexplored yet, and it’s going to explode, and this film, I think, will help it explode, because you have a remarkable central character with Venom, but now you’ve got Woody Harrelson, who’s going to obviously make his own little entrance here, and we’ll see what else comes in with the Sony Marvel collaboration.
I look forward to it. It’s a massive change for me, but I’m excited. I think Hardy is one of our best. He never misses. I so look forward to sitting with him and watching him perform”
He definitely seems to be excited for the potential
Venom 2 has to offer. We don't know too much about the sequel yet, other than the fact that Carnage will most likely be the main villain. Also, who knows? With the recent Spider-Man fiasco, maybe the webhead will make his way into the script. Time will tell.
