"Venom 2" will be released in 2020? Sony reveals the release dates of two Marvel movies

According to foreign media reports, Sony Pictures recently announced the release dates of two Marvel movies, but did not disclose the specific names. The first of the two movies will be released on July 10, 2020, and the other is a sequel, scheduled for October 2.

On July 10, this is most likely the Spider-Man spin-off movie "Morbius the Vampire" starring Jared Leto. Like "Venom", Morbius is a villain in the Spider-Man universe.

Michael Morbius was originally a Nobel Prize-winning biologist who experimented on himself to treat a rare blood disease, but the experiment failed and caused him to suffer from hemophilia. Morbius grew fangs and needed blood to survive. His bite could be fatal, but the victim would not become a vampire. At the same time, he also has some other characteristics of vampires, such as aversion to light, the ability to fly, strong speed and self-healing ability.

The film is directed by Daniel Espinosa, the director of "Alien Awakening" and "The Hideout", and the script is written by Matt Sazama and Burke Sharpless, two screenwriters of "Lost in Space". According to previous news, the film will begin production early next year.

As for the sequel project scheduled for October, it will either be the sequel to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" or "Venom 2", but the possibility of "Venom 2" is very high. After all, the first "Venom" starring Tom Hardy was a box office hit, and it is expected that the second part will be put on the agenda.

Venom broke the North American October opening record with an opening of 80 million US dollars. The cumulative North American box office has exceeded 210 million US dollars. In addition, Venom has also performed well in overseas markets, led by China. The film's box office in China has exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, becoming the best-selling single-person superhero movie; the cumulative overseas box office has exceeded 560 million US dollars.

Before the film was released, Tom talked about the sequel and said that he had "signed a three-film contract" with Sony and "everything is open." He also said that it depends on the audience's reaction, which is the most important thing.
