After a long wait, the filming of Venom 3 is already underway. Tom Hardy, the protagonist of the symbiote saga, confirmed in a post on Instagram that the project has resumed, after the stoppage forced by the Hollywood actors’ strike.
“The last dance. Fortunately, we are back to filming. This journey has been and continues to be a lot of fun. There are always difficult moments to overcome when we work, but it doesn’t feel so difficult when you love what you do and when you know you have great material and the support of a great team all the time,” said Hardy.
In this way, then, Venom 3 begins to take shape. The actor accompanied the message with a photograph in which he is seen next to Kelly Marcelthe film’s director, and stunt double Jacob Tomuri.

Needless to say, the film saga of Venom is far from one of Marvel’s brightest diamonds. In fact, The first two installments have been beaten by critics and fans. However, with Venom 3 A very interesting possibility opens up, since it could be the first installment with the symbiote completely integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What to expect from Venom 3
The details regarding Venom 3 They are truly scarce. It is worth mentioning that, although filming has now officially started, Work had begun briefly in Spain last June. However, the strike of Hollywood actors forced all activities to stop.
As we already indicated, the next installment of Venom will have as its main attraction the fact that it could be completely integrated into the UCM. Or, at least, not be 100% limited to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
Let us not forget that in Venom: There will be carnage Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has a very brief cameo in the post-credits scene. While Eddie Brock, Hardy’s character, appears in the finale of Spider-Man: No Way Home and leaves behind a fragment of the symbiote before returning to his universe by the spell of the Doctor Strange.
It is not yet known what possible paths it will take. Venom 3 in its integration with the Marvel Studios Universe. It has also not been mentioned for sure if there is a possibility that Holland or other MCU characters will appear in this new adaptation. What Tom Hardy does seem to make clear is that this will be the final installment of the saga. Not for nothing has it included the mention of “last Dance” in his post on Instagram.
For now, the cast of Venom 3 The presence of two other actors has been confirmed, in addition to Hardy. On the one hand, Juno Templeand on the other, Chiwetel Ejiofor. Of course, it has not yet been revealed what roles they will play.
