‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Devours September 2021 Release Date
Last spring, Sony’s Columbia Pictures delayed their highly anticipated Venom: Let There Be Carnage from its planned October 2, 2020 date all the way to June 25, 2021. Now, with that date quickly approaching, the studio has shifted plans by pushing the Venom sequel to September 17, 2021, adding the Spider-Man spinoff to a growing fall slate that includes Candyman, Resident Evil, Malignant, and Halloween Kills, among several others.
Venom 2 is directed this time by Andy Serkis with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie Brock, who is of course also the alien symbiote known as Venom. Woody Harrelson, who popped up as Cletus Kasady in the first film’s post-credits scene, ultimately becomes Carnage in the film.
Michelle Williams is also back, with Naomie Harris co-starring as Shriek.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
