Venom 3 Release Date, Cast, Director And More Details

You can't have a "Venom" movie without Tom Hardy. Aside from perhaps Max Rockatansky in "Fury Road," Eddie Brock is Hardy's most famous character. He clearly relishes playing the perpetually overwhelmed journalist and the constantly angry but well-meaning alien, but who will be joining Hardy in this third outing for Sony?

Well, we know two big names who've signed up for the film. First, there's Juno Temple — who stole the spotlight as Keely Jones in "Ted Lasso" — and then there's Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Mordo in the MCU's "Doctor Strange" series. According to reliable scooper Daniel Richtman, Ejiofor will be playing Orwell Taylor, the leader of The Jury, a vigilante group created to kill Venom. Of course, that hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but either way, we're glad to see Ejiofor here as he's one of the best actors in the game, giving mind-blowing performances in projects like "12 Years a Slave," "The Martian," and "The Man Who Fell to Earth."

As for the rest of the cast, we're assuming that Michelle Williams and Reid Scott will return as Anne Weying and Dr. Dan Lewis, respectively. Chances are also pretty good that Stephen Graham will be coming back as Detective Patrick Mulligan, as "Let There Be Carnage" teased his character might become pretty toxic. Plus, Peggy Lu is still clearly game to appear in these movie. The actress made a hilarious cameo as Mrs. Chen in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," so we're pretty sure she'll be back to her cranky ways in "Venom 3."
