Rescued singularly by Tom Hardy and his utter commitment to his titular character of an alien symbiote with an attitude issue,Venomblew at the box office. But the sequel, directed by Andy Serkis, turned out to be the least passable spin on the buddy comedy. Right from the second installment, theVenomfranchise gradually started degrading.
Being a part of the extended Spider-Man Universe, Tom Hardy’sVenommovies were supposed to have a larger fanbase, but unfortunately, they failed to make an impact. Now, after one hit and a mediocre sequel that barely stood a chance at the box office, Sony is back with a threequel. StarringTed Lassoactress Juno Temple, the movie is said to be directed by Kelly Marcel. However, despite the stellar cast, fans are not convinced to watch the movie.

Tom Hardy is certainly a remarkable talent in the entertainment industry. But despite his acting potential and influential star power, the actor failed to impress audiences with his second installment ofVenomin 2021.

Narrating the story of symbiote-powered Eddie Brock,Venommovies, although garnering “rotten” reviews of 30% and 57% respectively, both turned into box office successes and firm favorites of casual moviegoers. Meanwhile, die-hard fans of the comic book character weren’t quite happy with the sequels. But it seems, Sony is rather unfazed with howTom Hardy’s sequel ended up.
Therefore, this year, Sony has yet again planned on bringing out Tom Hardy’s symbiote-powered Eddie Brock to the big screen. Marking the third and finalVenommovie, the threequel is said to feature a stellar cast and a new director. Although barely anything has been disclosed about the plot or the antagonist, fans pinned their hopes on either Lobo Cartel or Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man.
