The upcoming Sony Pictures/Marvel endeavor, Venom 3, is anticipated to premiere in October 2024, according to star Juno Temple. In a conversation with Variety at a Ted Lasso function, the British actress shared her excitement about the imminent start of filming.
Since its greenlighting in April 2022, Venom 3’s progress has been consistent, promising the comeback of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and his alien symbiote sidekick to the cinema. Kelly Marcel, who wrote the scripts for the franchise’s first two films, is at the helm as director, taking the reins of this newest audacious escapade. Just last month, Marvel veteran Chiwetel Ejiofor – known for his role as Mordo in the Doctor Strange movies – was added to the star-studded cast.

A Quick Review of Venom’s Cinematic Journey
The character of Venom has seen varied reactions to its cinematic portrayals. Making its first movie appearance in 2007’s Spider-Man 3, directed by Sam Raimi, Venom was played by actor Topher Grace. Fans’ responses to the character were lukewarm, with many feeling that the film didn’t authentically capture Venom as represented in the comic books.
However, Venom received its own standalone film in 2018. With Ruben Fleischer as the director and Hardy taking on the role of Venom’s human host, Eddie Brock, the movie explored the character’s origin story and offered a more accurate representation of Venom’s persona. Despite mixed critical reception, Venom performed exceptionally at the box office, laying the groundwork for subsequent films.
The sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, was launched in 2021 with Andy Serkis stepping in as director. The film dug into the relationship between Venom and Carnage, another infamous Spider-Man antagonist, played by Woody Harrelson. This follow-up broadened the Venom cinematic universe and prepared the groundwork for future interlinked narratives, including a brief crossover of Eddie and Venom into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
