The Hollywood Reporter brings word that X-Men franchise producer Hutch Parker has joined the creative team of Sony Pictures’ Venom 2.
Venom 2 will mark the third feature film Serkis will tackle as director following Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, which released on Netflix last year.
Parker jumped onto the X-Men franchise with 2013’s The Wolverine and had a hand on set producing X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, Logan, Dark Phoenix, plus the Fantastic Four reboot, and even the stalled out New Mutants.
Andy Serkis will direct Venom 2, marking his first forray in directing a comic book feature after appearing in two Marvel Studios movies.
