Venom: Let There Be Carnage will see 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.
Andy Serkis is taking over directorial duties from Ruben Fleischer, while Michelle Williams is reprising her role as Anne, Brock's former fiancée, and Naomie Harris is set to play sonic supervillain Shriek.
The sequel is the latest movie to be shuffled around by the studio as the coronavirus pandemic continues to shut down productions and delayed movie release dates.

It is worth mentioning that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic on March 11 as the new virus has rapidly spread to more people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
The novel coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, has infected more than one million people and killed over 179,072 worldwide. It also hit a number of celebrities and top political figures around the world.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
