Sony Pictures has officially confirmed Venom 3. They made the announcement during their CinemaCon panel. But there is no word on the crew and release date of the film. The announcement isn't a surprise as the previous two films of the series: Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, were successes at the box office. Both the films saw Tom Hardy playing Eddie Brock, the journalist who comes in contact with an alien symbiote. The Marvel character was previously played by Topher Grace in 2007's Spider-Man 3.

It isn't clear whether director Andy Serkis, who helmed Venom: Let There Be Carnage, will return to direct the third film of the franchise. 

Apart from the third instalment of Venom, Tom Hardy has the Netflix thriller Havoc in his kitty.
