Sony hopes to shoot Venom 2 this Fall

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It was only last week that we passed along word that the powers that be over at Sony are eyeing MOGLI director and THE LORD OF THE RINGS actor Andy Serkis to helm the sequel to their hit adaptation of VENOM starring Tom Hardy. And today we hear Sony is planning to shoot VENOM 2 this fall.

But that's not all. We're also hearing that on top of Serkis, Sony is also looking into BUMBLEBEE director Travis Knight and RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES director Rupert Wyatt to take the helm. Now, I don't know about you, but personally, I'd like to see Serkis take the director job for this new movie. If for no other reason than he's the ballsiest choice. 

Who would YOU like to see helm VENOM 2, Andy Serkis, Travis Knight, or Rupert Wyatt? Let us know below!

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for language, the original film followed the adventures of 

Eddie Brock, a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancee. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?

VENOM is directed by Ruben Fleischer (ZOMBIELAND) and features Tom Hardy (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD), Michelle Williams (SPECIES), Riz Ahmed (ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY), Jenny Slate (HOTEL ARTEMIS), and Woody Harrelson (ZOMBIELAND, NATURAL BORN KILLERS). Jeff Pinkner & Scott Rosenberg and Kelly Marcel wrote the script, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal produced.

VENOM is now available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. Buy it HERE.
