In the latest scheduling casualty from the coronavirus pandemic, Sony Pictures has pushed the Venom sequel, which is called Venom: Let There Be Carnage, into 2021.

The tentpole starring Tom Hardy had been set to launch on October 2 later this year, before studio executives announced on Tuesday (21) it will now open on June 25, 2021.

2018 release Venom was a surprise smash at the box office, earning $856.1m worldwide, of which $642.6m came from international markets.

On Monday Warner Bros revealed further scheduling tweaks, pushing The Batman deeper into 2021, and dating the Hugh Jackman sci-fi Reminiscence, a project that FilmNation and Endeavor Content introduced the package to buyers at the EFM in 2019, for April 16, 2021.
