Venom Takes a Grittier Turn in Sony’s Animated Universe

Sony Pictures is developing an animated film featuring Venom after the live-action trilogy concludes with Venom: The Last Dance (2024). Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, known for Final Destination: Bloodlines, are directing this new project. Currently, there is no confirmed release date, screenwriter, or plot details. While Tom Hardy, who portrayed Eddie Brock/Venom in the live-action films, is on board as a producer, it remains unconfirmed whether he will also voice the character. Following the mixed reception of the Venom sequels, Sony is giving the character another shot. The animated format, leveraging the creative freedom seen in Spider-Verse, allows the directors to explore stranger and grittier stories without the limitations of live-action visual effects. It remains unclear whether this new Venom film will tie into Sony’s revamped Spider-Man plans or stand alone, separate from the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe (SSMU). Sony is also planning to release Spider-Man: Brand New Day this year and the animated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse next year. As Sony Pictures Animation hires screenwriters to develop the story, fans can anticipate further updates on Venom’s transition to animation.
