As per The Hollywood Reporter, this will now be the third Venom film to hit theatres in October, and the pre-Halloween space has worked out nicely for the franchise. The first movie surpassed 850 million US dollars globally, while the sequel crossed the 500 million dollars mark worldwide. Hardy went to Instagram in November to announce that the film, touted as the series' last instalment, has begun production following a hiatus due to last year's actor strike. The project was originally scheduled for release in June 2024, but due to the labour slowdown, it was pushed to November.
In his November post, Hardy referred to the film as the "last dance" and added that the work "doesn't feel as hard when you love what you do and when you know you have great material and the support at all sides, of a great team." 'Venom: The Last Dance' is the latest title in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters. It follows Sony's release of Madame Web, which stars Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney and has underperformed since hitting theatres last month, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
