Venom 3 was revealed during Sony's CinemaCon 2022 presentation. The film will once again come from Tom Hardy and Kelly Marcel, who provided the story for 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Marcel has been on hand as a writer for all three Venom films now, with Hardy once again set to return as Eddie Brock.

Venom’s movie future was initially drawn into question by Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s post-credits scene, which saw Hardy transported to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Anticipation for Hardy’s return escalated after he was seen in the post-credit scene for Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he left a small piece of the Venom symbiote in the MCU.
