Venom 2, a sequel to the 2018 hit movie, will star Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote Venom is slated to start filming in Fall 2020. The movie will be directed by Andy Serkis, who directed The Lion King remake and Mowgli, and producer Matt Tolmach, who also worked on the first film.

The story of Venom 2 will be based on the popular Venom comic storyline, "Lethal Protector." It follows Eddie Brock and his symbiote Venom, as they go toe-to-toe with some other Symbiotes and the evil Life Foundation. Venom’s mission is to fight these villains and protect San Francisco from their sinister plan to use their alien powers for world domination.

It is currently unclear if any other cast members from the first movie will be returning for the sequel. Michelle Williams, who played Eddie’s love interest Anne Weying in Venom, is expected to return though no official announcement has been made yet.

The plot of the sequel remains unknown, but speculation that Woody Harrelson will return as the villain Carnage has been widespread since the first film’s release. If true, he’d be playing the biggest antagonist of the franchise, a symbiote-based serial killer named Cletus Kasady.

Audiences can expect the same exciting action sequences and thrilling visuals that the first film had when Venom 2 hits theaters. The highly anticipated sequel has been kept under wraps by producers, so there’s still much to be revealed regarding the plot. With filming set to start this fall, more details about the movie and it’s cast will surface soon.
