Sony Pictures has officially announced Venom 3 is coming. When it came time to make another attempt at launching a shared Spider-Man universe, Sony understandably picked Venom as the character to lead the way. Tom Hardy starred as Eddie Brock in 2018's Venom, which was a huge box office hit despite mixed reviews. The film's success financially led Sony to announce a sequel, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage finally hit theaters in late 2021 after multiple delays due to COVID-19. The sequel was another hit for Sony, as it earned over $500 million worldwide.
The events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage left the door wide open for a third installment. After Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock spent some brief time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a Spider-Man: No Way Home post-credits cameo, he returned to Sony's Spider-Man Universe with knowledge of the wall-crawler. This once again teed him up for Venom's exciting future. However, Sony did not make any official announcements on if or when audiences will see Venom again.
