Sony Pictures has kept changing the release dates of a series of its blockbusters in the following time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of October this year, the publisher is planning to release the sequel of Venom (2018) in Summer 2021.
There has been no specific opening day of Venom 2. However, Sony Pictures has just revealed the official title of this movie as Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The title is obviously a piece of evidence that shows the appearance of Carnage (Woody Harrelson) - the supervillain as unveiled in the after-credits of the first movie.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is considered as a mysterious project in recent days. Some rumor that Director Andy Serkis and his crew have almost finished video recording. But the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the post-production, leading to the unavoidable delay.
Before that, Sony Pictures shifted the release date of Morbius - another movie that belongs to a series of films relating to Spiderman’s opponents in the Marvel Comics. The vampire Marvel movie starring Jared Leto is expected to come out in theaters on March 2021, instead of this summer.
The Morbius trailer partly reveals the incidents in this movie take place at the same time as Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Vulture (Michael Keaton) appears as the clearest evidence. Many fans suppose that Tom Holland’s superhero may star as a cameo in Venom: Let There By Carnage.
In the past, Sony used to have a plan for Tom Holland’s appearance as Spiderman in Venom (2018), but Marvel Studios didn’t accept it.
The release date of Venom: Let There Be Carnage is shifted to Summer 2021, leading to the change in the release date of the sequel of Spider-Man: Far from Home. This movie may come out in theaters at the end of 2021 or even at the beginning of 2022. At first, the third standalone movie of Spider-Man is planned to release in July 2021.
