Sony Sets Animated Venom Feature With Final Destination: Bloodlines Duo

The project begins early development under Sony Pictures Animation without a writer or release date.

Overview

  • Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein are attached to direct and are expected to produce the animated installment.
  • Sony Pictures Animation has opened a writers' room, but no screenwriter is currently attached.
  • Tom Hardy is understood to be involved in some capacity, though whether he will voice Venom or serve off-camera is unclear.
  • Longtime Venom producers Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are likely to return, with specifics still being finalized.
  • The shift to animation follows a three-film live-action run that grossed roughly $1.8 billion worldwide and suggests the new film is years away.
