8 Jan – The last we heard of a potential sequel for "Venom" was in late November, when Sony Pictures revealed there will be two Marvel movies in 2020 and it was speculated that one of them will be "Venom 2". While the October 2020 release date remains a speculation, now it is at least confirmed that a sequel is in the works, as Variety reported that a writer has been tapped to pen the script. Kelly Marcel, who wrote and produced the first movie, will be back as a writer as well as an executive producer for the sequel.
