Venom 2 and Morbius Possibly Set For Release In 2020

The Sony-Verse Continues

While no one is exactly pleased that Sony are going ahead with a Spider-Man-Less Cinematic Universe, that doesn’t seen to have stalled the studio in the slightest. Thanks to the overwhelming financial success of Venom, it looks like fans can look forward to a multitude of other solo outings of Marvel’s most famous anti-heroes in the immediate future, including the symbiote’s second flick along with the debut of a certain Living Vampire.

It’s fair to say that Venom proved divisive – plenty of critics didn’t like it, and audience opinions were split. More undeniable is that the Tom Hardy-starring anti-hero movie has been a huge box office hit, currently sitting with a worldwide box office haul of $780,000 – boosted by a massive reception in China. All of which means that a sequel is surely in the works, and it seems set to arrive in 2020.

That’s because Sony has staked out two 2020 release dates for upcoming Marvel projects, linked to the Spider-Man property that it owns. One film will hit cinemas on 10 July 2020, with another to follow on 2 October 2020. While neither title has been announced, it seems highly likely that one of those projects will be Venom 2, and the other will be the previously-announced Morbius The Living Vampire movie starring Jared Leto. That film, confirmed to be in the works back in June, will be directed by Life’s Daniel Espinosa and star Leto as Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Michael Morris whose experiments to cure a rare blood disease go awry.

Do you think it’s too soon for the Lethal Protector to get a sequel? While we’re eager to see what Woody Harrelson’s take on Carnage will look like, we’re hoping that Sony don’t trip over the one semi-decent property they’ve managed to push out. As for Morbius, we’re just hoping that we don’t end up with the Marvel version of Dracula Untold!
