Here's everything we know about Venom: Let There Be Carnage, including the movie's release date, cast, and story details. Sony Pictures has been in the Marvel movie game since the early 2000s with Sam Raimi's trilogy, and the studio has repeatedly had hopes of creating a cinematic universe. Sony began working with Marvel Studios in 2015 to make Tom Holland's Spider-Man part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This was a massive hit from the start, but that didn't stop Sony from exploring new ways to capitalize on the Marvel brand and the 900 Spider-Man-adjacent characters it has access to.
Sony finally found what seems to be the starting point for a shared villain universe when Venom made it big after its release in 2018. The movie starred Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock aka Venom and became a huge box office hit, despite the mixed reactions to the film itself. Fans around the world gravitated towards Venom's quirks and a more accurate big-screen take on the symbiote anti-hero than Spider-Man 3 included. Once the movie became a success, Sony immediately began working on Venom 2 and has made progress on other Spider-Man villain movies, like Morbius and Kraven the Hunter.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will be directed by Andy Serkis after Ruben Fleischer was unable to return for the sequel. As the latest installment of the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, which sees Sony's movies coming to Disney+, there is a lot of interest in Venom 2. Here's everything we know about the upcoming movie's release, cast, story, and marketing.

Sony originally announced an October 2020 release date for Venom: Let There Be Carnage. This plan changed due to COVID-19 shutting down theaters for much of that year. The studio first elected to delay Venom 2 to June 2021, but the movie was pushed back again a few months later. Venom: Let There Be Carnage will release exclusively in theaters on September 24, 2021. This is close to the same early fall window that the first movie received on its way to earning over $850 million worldwide.
The cast of Venom: Let There Be Carnage features plenty of returning characters from the first film and a few important additions, including Frances Barrison a.k.a. host of the symbiote Shriek. Tom Hardy returns to star as Eddie Brock, while Woody Harrelson is back as Cletus Kasady aka Carnage after a cameo in Venom's post-credits scene. Michelle Williams is also returning as Anne Weying, Eddie's love interest and She-Venom. Naomie Harris leads Venom 2's cast of new characters, as she'll play Frances Barrison a.k.a. Shriek. There are also constant rumors about Tom Holland's Spider-Man making an appearance.
Plot details for Venom: Let There Be Carnage are still largely being held under wraps. The sequel picks up after the events of the first movie and will continue Eddie Brock's journey as the host of an alien symbiote. This will include interviewing Cletus Kasady prior to his death sentence. However, Kasady's Carnage symbiote kicks in to protect him, allowing the serial killer to escape. This will lead to Venom and Carnage clashing for the first time on the big screen.
The first trailer for the upcoming sequel provided the first official look at the movie's design for the highly anticipated live-action version of Carnage. It also leaned further into the comedic dynamic between Eddie and Venom. Venom: Let There Be Carnage's trailer only teased the eventual symbiote throwdown the film will contain, but it also included references to the Avengers and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise, both of which raised questions aplenty for Marvel fans to ponder.
