Venom 2 confirmed to have a new screenwriter

Although Venom did not receive good reviews in North America, the film grossed over $840 million worldwide, with China taking the largest share of the box office, reaching 1.858 billion yuan. With such a good box office, a sequel is naturally on the agenda.

According to IGN, Venom co-writer Jeff Pinker said a sequel is on the way, but he may no longer be the screenwriter.

In an interview with Discussing Film, Pinker was asked about the possibility of a Venom sequel. He said: "Right now I can only say that it is happening, and I can't reveal anything else." When asked if he would return, he replied: "I won't, as of now, I haven't."

Earlier in the interview, he was also asked if the Spider-Man starring Holland is set in the same universe as Venom. To this, Pinker replied: "I won't reveal anything I shouldn't say, but it's not impossible for Spider-Man to play an important role in a future Venom movie."

In fact, regardless of the box office, the ending of Venom also hints at a sequel. We saw that Venom survived, continued to be in Tom Hardy's body, and also went to meet the big boss Carnage.

Sony previously announced two Marvel movies, one of which is an "untitled Sony/Marvel movie" scheduled to be released on October 2, 2020, which is most likely "Venom 2".
