Sony Pictures has announced the title of the highly anticipated third installment in the 'Venom' franchise as 'Venom: The Last Dance.' The film's release date has been moved up to October 25, 2024, from the previously scheduled date of November 8. Fans can expect to see Tom Hardy reprise his role as Eddie Brock/Venom, the lethal protector, in this latest installment.
Joining Hardy in the cast are Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clark Backo. The film marks Kelly Marcel's feature directorial debut, with Marcel also penning the screenplay based on a story she developed in collaboration with Hardy. The production team includes Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Hutch Parker, Marcel, and Hardy.
The first two films in the 'Venom' series, released in 2018 and 2021, collectively grossed $1.3 billion worldwide. The announcement of the third film was made during Sony's CinemaCon presentation in April 2022, generating significant excitement among fans.
'Venom: The Last Dance' will see the return of the iconic character following a cameo appearance in the credits of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' in 2021. The film's production faced delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike but resumed filming in late November.
