Venom star Tom Hardy has seemingly confirmed that filming is now underway on the upcoming sequel.

The actor posted a photo to his Instagram account with the caption "W3’R’V3N0M2 day one," before deleting the image soon after. It's possible that Hardy jumped the gun and an official announcement is imminent. He also shared a piece of Venom/Carnage fan-art and a picture of one of his dogs, Blue, with a name-tag sporting the movie's working title.

It's been confirmed that Woody Harrelson will return as serial killer Cletus Kasaday, aka Carnage, and he'll be joined by Naomi Harris as Shriek. Michelle Williams will also reprise the role of Anne Weying.

Venom 2 is set to hit theaters next October, and will be directed by Andy Serkis. Are you looking forward to the sequel? Sound off down below, and check out a recap of the first film's most batshit crazy moments.

To view the moments all at once, simply click on the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!

Tom Hardy's Performance

Yes, the star of the movie gets his very own spot on this list, and for very good reason.

Tom Hardy's performance as Eddie Brock/Venom has been lambasted and praised in equal measure, and when you see some of the choices he makes with this character you'll likely understand why.

With his accent veering constantly between standard American and that infamous New York/Boston mumble, the Academy Award-nominated actor tears through Venom like a wild-eyed force of nature, and is by far the most memorable part of the film... for better or worse!

A Nice Chicken Dinner

In easily the most gross-out moment of the movie, Eddie Brock is compelled by his ravenous new friend to eat a rotten chicken carcass out of the garbage.

Eddie starts off with a few frozen chicken nuggets before diving right into the trash and devouring the contents. He then rushes into the bathroom and vomits - quite graphically - into the toilet.

It's... not pleasant.

A Dip With The Lobsters

Once Eddie realizes that something is very wrong with him, he follows his ex Annie and her new boyfriend into a restaurant, which probably wasn't the best place to take a constantly hungry alien parasite.

Venom forces his host to try a few morsels from various plates before Brock dives into a lobster tank to cool down, biting into a live crustacean while he's at it.

Apparently, Hardy came up with the idea to leap into the tank, and fake lobsters needed to be flown in at the last minute to accommodate him.

Venom Likes Heads

Who doesn't, right?

Venom may have dispensed with that rumored R-rating, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the brutality.

There's no blood and it's never particularly graphic, but Venom does gleefully chow-down on quite a few heads in this movie, which is something we never expected to see in a PG-13 "superhero" flick.

F-Bomb

Just in case it wasn't already abundantly clear that Venom does not take place in the established Marvel Cinematic Universe, Eddie Brock drops an F-bomb towards the end of the movie.

Sure, The X-Men movies are also produced in associations with Marvel Studios and characters curse-up a storm in them, but with Sony now sharing a much closer connection to The MCU thanks to the Spider-Man deal, this is a little more surprising.

If that crossover ever does happen, Venom is gonna have to wash his mouth out with soap.

Venom Calls Eddie A Pussy

Similarly, it's hard to imagine any character associated with The MCU referring to someone else as a "pussy" (edit: Tony Stark does in Iron Man 3, which completely slipped my mind), but that's what happens in Venom.

To be fair, it's actually one of the funniest moments in the movie, as Venom urges Eddie to jump out of a window only to berate his lack of cojones when we then cut to him taking the elevator instead.

Venom Makes Out With Eddie (Kinda)

One of the early Twitter reactions got some attention when it revealed that Venom and Eddie make out in the movie, but when the scene is put into context that's not exactly what happens.

Yes, Eddie and Venom do kiss, but the symbiote is bonded to Annie at the time (we get a quick glimpse of She-Venom) which obviously doesn't paint quite the homoerotic picture many fans had in their minds after the initial Tweet.

Carnage

As rumored, Woody Harrelson does indeed show up in the mid-credits scene as Cletus Kasady in a faintly ridiculous red wig, and teases the "Carnage" to come.

It's a decent set-up for a sequel featuring the serial killing villain, but it has so little to do with the movie we just watched that it feels dropped in out of nowhere as a result.

"Meanwhile, In Another Universe"

Rather than tease a connection to the live-action MCU Spider-Man, the post-credits scene of Venom establishes a link to the animated universe of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.

We get a clip from that movie featuring Miles Morales chasing The Prowler before visiting the grave of Peter Parker, only to discover that the original Webhead is still alive in another dimension.

It's an impressive scene, but just another example of some of the bonkers choices the Venom movie makes.

Great another piece of crap movie which is gonna ruin another beloved character.

Mrcool210 - 11/16/2019, 9:59 AM

I really do hope this movie turns out good. But I am a little worried, with Andy Serkis doing this and Batman I hope he doesn't rush this movie to go do that one. Venom has potential to be great, And now that Will beal isn't wriring the script this time we could see something great. Just let it go to it's full potential and don't force a certain character in there that shouldn't be. Not yet anyway

Repian - 11/16/2019, 10:44 AM

@Mrcool210 - Now that John Jonah Jameson has turned Spider-man into a villain and Hardy's Venom has assumed the role of hero, I think the conflict is imminent.

TheUnworthyThor - 11/16/2019, 12:58 PM

@Mrcool210 - I can probably film all his scenes for Batman in a week.

Chewtoy - 11/16/2019, 10:04 AM

I wish Andy Serkis luck, because that first Venom film was... ugh.

Off Topic, If you get a chance go see MIDWAY must see movie at theater mind blown. 5 Stars out of 5 Stars.. 92% Audience score at Rotten Tomatoes. Some Audience reviews.

"Liked: Set the scene with Pearl & bombing of Tokyo. Great navel and aviation combat footage. The depiction of Halsey and Nimitz were excellent. Would have liked: Needed more explanation of just how important this battle was to the result of the war."

"One of the best war movies EVER!!!"

"Like that the telling of the events were accurate and there was no added fluff to drag out the storyline. Phenomenal movie!"
