The latest installment in Columbia Pictures‘ Tom Hardy-led Venom franchise now has an official title and an earlier release date.
Venom: The Last Dance from director Kelly Marcel hits theaters Oct. 25, Sony announced Tuesday. Starring Hardy, Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the film that was previously untitled has moved up two weeks from its initial release date of Nov. 8.
Marcel also wrote the script, with the story credited to herself and Hardy. Hardy, Marcel, Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal and Hutch Parker serve as producers.
Hardy returns as the character that he originated in 2018’s Ruben Fleischer-directed Venom. Marcel, who worked on the first film’s screenplay, took over helming duties on 2021 follow-up Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
This will now be third Venom film to hit theaters in October, and the pre-Halloween space has worked out for the franchise. The first movie surpassed $850 million globally, while the sequel crossed the $500 million mark worldwide.
