VENOM Production Delayed; Now Expected To Begin Filming At The End Of October

It's been widely reported that Venom would begin filming Fall 2017 and while, that's still the case, it looks like it'll actually be getting started just a little later than expected. Come take a look!

Following the announcement that Academy Award-nominee Tom Hardy would play Eddie Brock/Venom in an upcoming spinoff movie directed by Ruben Fleisher (Zombieland), it was reported soon thereafter that Sony Pictures was hoping to get production underway by the end of the year, which came as a surprise to many.

It was then revealed back in June that the studio was potentially eyeing September 1st as a filming start date, but now, according to a new report from our friends over at Omega Underground, that plan has changed ever so slightly and production has been delayed to October 23rd.

It's uncertain what led to the delay, but it appears as though crew availability in Atlanta may have played a factor as there are currently several big-budget blockbusters filming in the area, including Marvel's still-untitled Avengers 4, so it may have benefitted them to wait a little bit longer to get started. It's also unknown whether the film has completed casting several major roles, including Cletus Kasady/Carnage and Ann Weying, both of which have yet-to-be formally announced.

Plot details remain under lock-and-key, but in addition to Hardy, Riz Ahmed (The Night Of) is also said to be in talks for a major role. Fleisher will direct with a script from Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle scribes Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner.

So, what do you guys think? Excited for Venom? Sound off with your thoughts below!

@manofillintent1 - I also hope. I would want to see Joel edgerton as venom

Delay it forever, I say. Or at least until the Marvel Spider-Man films have a chance to actually do the symbiote arc justice, THEN spin off Venom.

Origame - 9/10/2017, 2:38 PM

@MrDandy - Come on. Are you saying you'd rather see the symbiote story again, which has been done so many times in so many different mediums, instead of the first big budget superhero horror movie?

MrDandy - 9/10/2017, 4:07 PM

@Origame - You mean seen only one time on film and done very very badly. Then yes. You can get to the solo film in due time. Patients is a virtue and if there is anything the MCU has proven, patients pays off.

Origame - 9/10/2017, 7:05 PM

@MrDandy - There's no way an R rated Venom horror movie can come from Disney. And that's what will have to happen if Marvel was in control. And one time on film doesn't negate the multiple attempts elsewhere from cartoons and what not. Stories like Winter Soldier were only comic stories before their movies. We've seen so many tellings of Venom's origin that we need something fresh. Sony's actually giving it to us.

And the MCU have not proved a thing with patience since they seriously just rushed this movie out and it made past 800 mil at the box office. If anything Sony IS taking their time in comparison.
