But Andy Serkis is right in saying that the appetite of the audience likely will dictate the direction that Sony goes with the Venom franchise… and it requires some participation from Marvel Studios, who currently are sharing Spider-Man with Sony in the MCU movies, which will continue with Spider-Man: No Way Home this coming December.
Sony also moved Venom: Let There Be Carnage up to October 1, after bouncing the movie around its release calendar.
Which means fans won’t have to wait that long to see how the relationship between Eddie Brock (Hardy) and Venom has developed.
