"Venom 3" to Begin Filming Next Month

Production on the third installment of the Venom franchise is set to begin next month. 

Plot details are unknown other than Tom Hardy is reprising the lethal protector Venom. Hardy first played Eddie Brock back in the original 2018 movie, where he faced off against the Riot symbiote and its host, Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed).

The first movies had arrived from two different directors, with Ruben Fleischer directing the first and Andy Serkis helming the latest pic.

British screenwriter Kelly Marcel is set to direct the Marvel and Sony Pictures movie. She had previously served as a writer and producer for the first two Venom movies.

Marcel will direct the project from a screenplay based on a story by her and Hardy.

Producers include Marcel, Hardy, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker.

The filming comes amidst the current Writers Guild of America strike, which is likely going to extend until then and beyond and could affect the production of the sequel.
