According to People, Sony Pictures announced during CinemaCon in April that Venom 3 and a sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife would be releasing in the future. However, the SAG-AFTRA strike, which spanned from July 14 to Nov. 9, delayed the filming of both movies.

The second installment followed investigative journalist Eddie Brock (Hardy) as he wrestled with his inner alter ego, Venom, and visited serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) in prison. Venom: Let There Be Carnage took in more than $502 million at the worldwide box office, reported People.
