Once again, Mexican traditions will come to the big screen. After the success of Venom: Carnage Unleashed, Sony gave the green light for a third installment starring Tom Hardy and the peculiar symbiote. And now that it is about to start filming, the first images of the locations have revealed that certain scenes of Venom 3filmed in Cartagena, Spain, will be influenced by the Day of the Dead.
Last weekend, some images began to circulate on social networks. In them you can see some painted walls, and altars that undoubtedly refer to such an important celebration for Mexican culture. It is striking that, if the film will set some of its scenes on the Day of the Dead, filming does not take place in Mexico.

Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
