A new report about Venom 3’s working title may have hinted at who the villain of the third movie in the Sony’s Spider-Man Universe spin-off could be.
Who will the Venom 3 villain be?
According to The Cosmic Circus, the working title for Venom 3 is Orwell. Rather than referring to famous author George Orwell, the outlet suggests it could instead be related to the Venom-affiliated character Orwell Taylor.
In the comics, Orwell Taylor seeks to kill Eddie Brock/Venom after the antihero kills his son while escaping from the Vault — a superhuman prison that Taylor’s son worked at. He ends up creating a team called “the Jury” whose sole purpose is to take down Venom and bring him to justice. The working title suggests that Orwell Taylor could be the villain of Venom 3, following Riot and Carnage as the villains of the first and second film, respectively.
Venom 3 will be directed by Kelly Marcel, who is also writing the film. Marcel previously wrote both 2018’s Venom and its sequel, along with Fifty Shades of Grey and Saving Mr. Banks. It will once again star Tom Hardy and be produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker. For the third movie, Ted Lasso star Juno Temple has also joined the cast.
