Andy Serkis will officially direct “Venom 2” for Sony, TheWrap has learned.
According to Games Radar, Serkis said he’s had meetings with Sony executives to direct the sequel after a Hollywood Reporter report last month that he was in contention for the job.
“Venom” grossed $856 million worldwide during its 2018 theatrical release and starred Tom Hardy as the symbiote — the actor will reprise his role in the sequel, while Michelle Williams is expected to return as well alongside Woody Harrelson as Carnage. Kelly Marcel, one of the screenwriters of the first film, is writing the script for the sequel.
