When asked about the future of Sony Pictures’ Tom Hardy-led Venom franchise, executive producer Amy Pascal has confirmed that Venom 3 is currently in the “planning stages right now.” However, Pascal understandably wasn’t able to elaborate more about their plans for the third installment following Venom: Let There Be Carnage as their current focus is towards the debut of the highly-anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“We are in the planning stages right now but what we are focused on is getting everybody to come and see No Way Home,” Pascal told Collider.
