The finale of Venom 2 obviously sets up the next instalment in the Tom Hardy-led film series, so you may be interested in learning more about Venom 3.
The original Venom film was an origin story in which the symbiote arrived on Earth with three alien companions intent on taking over the world. The sequel to the superhero film series, Venom 2, follows Carnage and Shriek as they cause havoc for Brock. The ending of Venom 2 then sets up Brock’s entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where J. Jonah Jameson is busy disclosing who Spider-Man is. Is there no way for our beloved anti-hero and symbiote to return home?
That’s a lot to take in (and may make seeing the Marvel movies in order even more difficult), but with Venom 3 confirmed, there’s going to be even more turmoil on the horizon. Here’s everything we know so far about Venom 3, including the release date, cast list, narrative, and more.
When Will Venom 3 Be Released?
According to Dexerto, Venom 3 is expected to be released in October 2024.
Previous Venom films were released in the winter, so it’s plausible (though not guaranteed) that Tom Hardy’s third excursion as Venom will be released in November. The fact that Venom 3 is presently in production adds to the likelihood, though the ongoing 2023 Writers Strike and the actor’s strike have an effect and cause delays.
Who Will Be in the Cast of Venom 3?
The Venom 3 cast will be led by Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock. Stephen Graham, who plays Detective Mulligan and Toxin, is another major cast member. That is, assuming the plot follows the direction implied by the end of Venom 2.
We could also see the return of Michelle Williams as Anne Weying and Reid Scott as Dr Dan Lewis, as well as a few other minor characters who have helped to humanize the Venom films.
Here is the list of expected cast members in Venom 3:
- Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom
-
Michelle Williams as Anne Weying
-
Stephen Graham as Detective Mulligan
-
Juno Temple
-
Chiwetel Ejiofor
What Will Happen in Venom 3?
We believe that Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham) will become Toxin in Venom 3. This was established in the Venom 2 post-credits sequence, which established him as the major cinematic villain for the future monster film.
At the end of the last film, Mulligan, who had previously been a kind guy, awakens his eyes after a supposedly fatal injury to see that they are flashing blue. This appears to imply that Mulligan, like his comic book counterpart, will someday become Toxin.
The toxin is meant to be a spawn of Carnage, just as Carnage is a sort of spawn of Venom. That effectively indicates that Venom is Toxin’s grandfather, but don’t dwell on that for too long.

The Toxin symbiote is essentially made up of all of its forefathers’ best abilities, making them a force to be reckoned with. While not necessarily bad, it is possible that the film does not take that road in the first place.
Is There a Venom 3 Trailer?
There is currently no Venom 3 trailer, and we may have to wait until the summer of 2024 to see one. For now, you can watch the trailer for Venom 2 below:
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spider-Man Going to Appear in Venom 3?
Venom 3 will most likely not feature Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Eddie could run into another Spider-Man actor variant in his realm, but because Venom was brought back to his dimension after No Way Home, the chances of him running into Tom Holland’s version of the Web-Slinger are unlikely.
Will Venom 3 Be Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Venom 3 is unlikely to take place in the MCU. Eddie and the symbiote were last seen being taken back to their own reality in the universe, which is presumably where his next feature will take place rather than an MCU film.
Where to Watch Venom 3?
Venom 3 will very certainly only be available in theatres when it is released. While we may expect Venom 3 to be available on streaming services at some point, it appears highly unlikely that Sony Pictures will launch the film on one alongside the theatrical release. While you wait, both Venom films are now accessible to stream on Netflix.
Conclusion
For fans of the symbiotic antihero, Venom 3 carries a lot of potential. While no official release date has been announced, the excitement for the third instalment is strong. Fans can expect another thrilling and enthralling chapter in Venom’s cinematic evolution with a skilled creative team and the continuous success of the Venom franchise.
