"Venom 2" Delayed by One Week

The release date for Tom Hardy’s highly-anticipated movie “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”, has been delayed one week from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24.

The “Venom” sequel, which has been postponed several times during the coronavirus pandemic, was most recently pushed to September from June 25 due to the pandemic.

The delay means that the movie will no longer premiere on the same day as Disney’s star-studded sequel “Death on the Nile” and Universal’s animated sequel “The Boss Baby: Family Business”.

However, the sequel is set to premiere alongside “Dear Evan Hansen” and “The Sopranos” prequel film “The Many Saints of Newark.”

Andy Serkis is directing the follow-up to “Venom,” which sees journalist Eddie Brock and the outer-space parasite who lives inside him facing off against Woody Harrelson, who is playing notorious redhead serial killer Cletus Kasady, better known as Carnage.

Michelle Williams is also set to reprise her role as Anne, Brock’s former fiancée, and Naomie Harris playing the sonic supervillain Shriek.

The movie began filming in late 2019, where it picks after the end credits scene of 2018 original, which teased the first meeting between Eddie and Kasady.
