Unlike Norman Reedus, a handful of notable names have officially been confirmed for the “Venom 3” cast. First and foremost is Tom Hardy, who has played both Eddie Brock and Venom since the franchise’s first film, as well as in the MCU-changing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” post-credits scene. The actor has hinted that the end of the “Venom” trilogy will also wrap up his run with the character, referring to “Venom 3” as “the last dance” in an Instagram post. With that in mind, it’ll be interesting to see what the upcoming feature has in store for Eddie and Venom.
Aside from Hardy, a few “Venom” franchise newcomers have reportedly signed on the dotted line to appear. First and foremost is Juno Temple of “Ted Lasso” and “Fargo” fame, who has been cast in a currently undisclosed lead role. Alongside her is seasoned Marvel star Chiwetel Ejiofor, known to comic book movie fans as Baron Karl Mordo from the “Doctor Strange” franchise. “Letterkenny” and “Designated Survivor” star Clark Backo is also slated to appear. So far, Ejiofor and Backo’s roles in the film have yet to be revealed.
We’ll have to see what these actors will be up to — and if Norman Reedus will somehow appear in any capacity — as “Venom 3” inches closer to its November 8, 2024, release date.
