Amy Pascal Confirms Venom 3 is in the ‘Planning Stages’

When asked about the future of Sony Pictures’ Tom Hardy-led Venom franchise, executive producer Amy Pascal has confirmed that Venom 3 is currently in the “planning stages right now.”

However, Pascal understandably wasn’t able to elaborate more about their plans for the third installment following Venom: Let There Be Carnage as their current focus is towards the debut of the highly-anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home.

“We are in the planning stages right now but what we are focused on is getting everybody to come and see No Way Home,” Pascal told Collider.

F0llowing its theatrical release on October 1, the sequel broke pandemic box office records by becoming this year’s second highest-grossing film in the U.S. with a domestic gross of over $200 million and a worldwide gross of over $480 million.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage was directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay written by Kelly Marcel, based on a story by Tom Hardy and Marcel. It features the return of Oscar-nominated actor as the titular lethal protector.

The sequel also stars returning cast members, Michelle Williams, Reid Scott, and Peggy Lu. It also features the introduction of Woody Harrelson as the maniacal serial killer Cletus Kasady/Carnage, Naomie Harris as Frances Barrison/Shriek, and Stephen Graham as Detective Mulligan.
