Kelly Marcel is returning to write the script for the movie as well as executive produce.
Despite harsh criticism, Venom pulled in $855 million worldwide. Tom Hardy will be returning as Eddie Brock, along with Michelle Williams and Woody Harrelson.

Harrelson will likely be the antagonist in the sequel as a post-credit scene seemed to foreshadow him becoming comic book villain Carnage.
There is no word yet on who will direct the film.
