Expect More She-Venom in ‘Venom 2’ as Michelle Williams Has Confirmed She’s Returning
Eddie Brock’s ex Anne Weying (played by Michelle Williams) briefly transformed into comic book character She-Venom in Ruben Fleischer’s Venom, a surprise treat for fans that was no doubt one of the coolest moments in the movie. And it sounds like we may be getting more She-Venom in director Andy Serkis‘ Venom 2, as Williams will be reprising the role!
“I’m in,” Williams officially confirmed to Yahoo this week.
The actress added, “I’m such a fan of Andy’s, and I’m so inspired by what he’s been able to accomplish. He’s so gifted in such a specific way, and I’m very excited to learn from him and be around him.”
Williams also expressed that she hopes She-Venom gets more screen-time in the sequel.
The sequel’s script was written by Kelly Marcel. We assume that Woody Harrelson will appear in Venom 2 as Cletus Kasady (aka Carnage), but nothing has been confirmed at this time.
Tom Hardy, of course, will be back as Eddie Brock.
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director David Robert Mitchell are reuniting for It Follows sequel They Follow, and Deadline brings us the latest casting news this week.
Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Justine Lupe (Succession), Anna Mirodin (Ivan), Jayne Taini (Unbelievable), Michael Gandolfini (Daredevil: Born Again), Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Ben Krieger (Song Sung Blue), Natalie Shinnick (The Brutalist) and Jan Hoag (The Fabelmans) have joined the cast this week.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) has also been confirmed to join They Follow.
Deadline notes in their report this afternoon, “Plot details for the long-anticipated sequel are under wraps, other than it taking place a decade after the events of the original film.”
They Follow is expected to enter production this Summer. Stay tuned for updates.
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
“It’s very different from the original,” Monroe told Discussing Film. “The original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this is really quite grounded and follows the story of these two women that are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was really an interesting take on it.”
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
They Follow will feature a new score from Disasterpeace.
