La troisième entrée des films Venom , confirmée au Sony Pictures CinemaCon en avril de cette année, a été reçue avec excitation et anticipation par les fans. Le premier volet, qui a fait ses débuts en 2018, a connu un succès inattendu, et avec la sortie en 2021 du deuxième film, Venom : Let There Be Carnage, Eddie et Venom sont rapidement devenus les favoris des fans. Les rumeurs de Venom 3 ont donc été plus que bien accueillies par les fans, et les spéculations sur ce que le troisième film pourrait apporter n’ont pas cessé.
Avec les rebondissements de Venom : Let There Be Carnage, le nouveau film peut prendre plusieurs chemins. Les fans ont relevé des indices subtils qui leur ont permis de deviner le parcours de l’antihéros symbiotique. Cependant, malgré les multiples suppositions et questions, les confirmations et les réponses sont rares. La plupart des détails concernant Venom 3, y compris le titre officiel du film, restent vagues à l’heure où nous écrivons ces lignes. Afin de répondre au moins à certaines des questions que se posent les fans, nous avons rassemblé tout ce qui a été rendu public à propos du nouveau film. Voici ce que nous savons pour l’instant !
Venom 3: The Plot
Despite the teaser given at CinemaCon, the content of the teaser was extremely limited. The only indication of Venom 3 was the logo in a closing sizzle reel. Although the announcement didn’t reveal much information, the ending and mid-credit scenes of Let There Be Carnage point to a few possible directions the latest film may take.
Venom could potentially be getting a new arch-nemesis, given the death of the villains in the second film and the movie’s closing scenes showing the dead Detective Mulligan coming back to life with blue eyes. Eddie and Venom could also be exploring the multiverse if the mid-credit scenes of Let There Be Carnage are anything to go by. Given that the two were discussing the existence of a multiverse before being transported into another dimension, the multiverse avenue seems all the more plausible.
The post-credits scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home has also led to fan speculation that Venom and Spider-Man, posited as enemies in the comic books, could finally meet. The speculation comes from the fact that viewers are shown a little blob of the symbiote left behind as Doctor Strange’s spell to erase Spider-Man from everyone’s memories pulls Eddie back to his respective dimension. The meeting of the two characters was given more weight by Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis during a video interview with IGN in 2021.
As per the director:
“That’s the question on everyone’s lips. They want to know when Venom is gonna meet Spider-Man, personally, it’s never gonna happen. Oh I’m only joking, of course it’s gonna happen…it depends when you want to get there and also what the appetite is”
For now, only guesses can be made as to the possible storyline of Venom 3. No trailer or first-look clip of the movie has been released at the time of writing, leaving us in the dark regarding a definite plot for the film. However, we know that a script for Venom 3 has been penned, thanks to an Instagram post by Tom Hardy in June 2022. The contents of the script still remain a mystery.
Venom 3: The Cast & Crew
The latest Venom film still doesn’t have an established cast list. However, we can make a safe bet that Tom Hardy will be reprising his role as Eddie Brock. Hardy’s performance in the previous films has made him a quintessential part of the Venom storyline and has played a significant role in the success of the first two films. Given this, it becomes quite hard to imagine a third installment without Hardy taking on his now-popular role as Eddie and Venom. Hardy’s Instagram post of the script also establishes that we will see him in the third movie.
In addition to Hardy, other actors who may return include Stephen Graham as Detective Patrick Mulligan. Michelle Williams may also appear in the film as Anne Weying or She-Venom. Williams has also expressed her interest in reuniting with Hardy in a third movie. Talking to Variety in May 2022, the actress said:
“I have every intention of continuing with the series. I certainly hope they bring me back.”
While the first film was directed by Ruben Fleischer and written by Jeff Pinker, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel, Andy Serkis took over the reins for Let There Be Carnage, with Marcel and Tom Hardy penning the script. Given the changes between the first and second movies, only calculated guesses can be made regarding who might steer the latest installment.
Most fans predict that Marcel will write for the third movie, with the prediction given more basis by Marcel’s name being visible on the script shared by Hardy on his Instagram. Serkis has also expressed his interest in reprising his role as director once again. “I mean, yeah, of course. It’s such a wonderful world to play in. And I’m sure there will be, I’m sure there will be,” said Serkis, adding, “Well, hopefully…I don’t want to count our chickens. But yeah, of course. It was such a fun world to play in.”
Release Date
At the time of writing, no release date for Venom 3 has been confirmed. With filming for the movie only scheduled to begin in the summer of 2023, we might have to wait a bit before we finally see Eddie and Venom take to screens again.
