Venom 3 Gets a New Title and an Earlier Release Date
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the web-slinging world of Spider-Man have been eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Venom franchise. And today, Sony Pictures has announced that Venom 3 is not only getting a new title, but also an earlier release date.
The new title for the film is "Venom: Let There Be Carnage… Again". The subtitle is a nod to the film’s predecessor, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage", which was released in 2021 to critical and commercial success. The new title suggests that the film will continue to explore the complex relationship between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the alien symbiote that bonds with him, as well as the introduction of new villains and allies.
As for the release date, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage… Again" is now set to hit theaters on October 7, 2023, instead of the previously announced release date of November 2023. This move is likely intended to capitalize on the success of other superhero films that have been released in the fall season, such as "Black Panther" and "Spider-Man: No Way Home".
The film is being directed by Andy Serkis, who made his directorial debut with the first Venom film. Serkis is known for his work as a motion capture performer, having played characters such as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Groot in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise. He is expected to bring a unique visual style and tone to the film, which will likely blend action, horror, and dark humor.
The plot of "Venom: Let There Be Carnage… Again" is still under wraps, but it is rumored to introduce a new villain, Carnage, who is a serial killer that is bonded to a symbiote similar to Venom. The film is also expected to explore the aftermath of the events of the first film, including the introduction of a new love interest for Eddie Brock and the continued conflict between him and the villainous Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson).
Fans of the Venom franchise are likely thrilled to hear about the new title and release date for the third installment. With its unique blend of action, horror, and dark humor, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage… Again" is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of 2023.
