Sony, in a series of new release announcements, has unveiled its plans to debut the much-anticipated “Venom 3” in the summer of 2024. Specifically, fans of Tom Hardy, who stars as Eddie Brock, can look forward to a July 12 release, following the successful outings of “Venom” in 2018 and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” in 2021.
Journey to the Release
First revealed to the public in 2022, we’ve seen Tom Hardy’s character Eddie Brock, and his symbiotic partner, on an exciting trajectory towards “Venom 3“. The announcement of a summer release has electrified fans, especially since this is ahead of the initial date. Just last month, Juno Temple, an eminent English actress in the cast, let slip that the team was eyeing an October 2024 release. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she expressed being “thrilled” to commence filming “very, very soon.”
The Pressure of Summer Release
This third installment faces a distinct challenge, marking its summer debut. Both prior movies, despite releasing in October, were commercial successes: the original “Venom” raked in $856 million globally, while “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” amassed $502 million. It’s crucial to underline, however, the latter’s revenue was influenced by the aftermath of the global pandemic.
As 2024 approaches, “Venom 3” will jostle for audiences alongside other significant releases: Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” and Universal’s “Twisters”, set to premiere on July 5 and July 19, respectively. Thus, “Venom 3” finds itself uniquely positioned, vying fiercely for its share of box office revenue.
Shifting Dynamics for “Venom 3”
A significant departure in this third entry is the change in the directorial reins. Kelly Marcel, previously known for scripting the series, has taken up the director’s mantle for “Venom 3“. Furthermore, there’s a shake-up in the ensemble with the addition of Marvel veteran, Chiwetel Ejiofor. Despite unforeseen production delays, largely attributed to an ongoing strike, Sony’s decision to expedite the release suggests they’re confident in the film’s timely delivery and anticipated success.
For the Fans
For those looking to reminisce or catch up, the trailer for “Let There Be Carnage” is available for viewing.
In Conclusion
Sony’s bold move to adjust “Venom 3“‘s release date is a testament to the company’s belief in the film and its potential success. As Tom Hardy returns to the screen, and with the added allure of a new director and cast members, fans and critics alike eagerly await summer 2024. The stage is set for an electrifying box office showdown, and only time will reveal the ultimate victor.
