Agent Venom Movie Rumored to Be in Development at Sony Pictures

Key Takeaways

  • A new Venom movie may feature a different Spider-Man character as the symbiote’s host.
  • Sony has a rumored Agent Venom movie in development, but details remain uncertain.
  • Sony wants the Venom franchise to continue even without Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock.

As a gamer with over two decades of comic book and movie-related experiences under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and skepticism about the rumored new Venom movie featuring Agent Venom. If you remember, I was there when Eddie Brock first bonded with the symbiote in the comics, and I must say, Flash Thompson as the host is an intriguing development.

There might be a fresh spin on the “Venom” series being cooked up by Sony Pictures. If accurate, this upcoming film could see a different Spider-Man character taking on the role of the symbiote’s host rather than Eddie Brock.

The movie titled “Venom: The Last Dance” marked the end of Tom Hardy’s portrayal as Eddie Brock, the renowned symbiote host from Marvel Comics in the Venom trilogy. Despite a lower-than-anticipated domestic box office debut, the film has been thriving internationally and maintaining its strength both domestically and abroad. With an impressive global box office earnings of $317.1 million, Sony seems unwilling to relinquish the Venom franchise, even if Hardy has bid farewell to the role. A buzz suggests that a new character might soon take over as the symbiote’s host in future installments.

According to trusted insider Daniel Richtman, there are plans for a movie featuring the character known as Agent Venom, who originates from the Marvel Comics where Flash Thompson takes on this alias after bonding with a symbiote. However, some misinformation has been spread regarding Richtman’s report. A Twitter account suggested that it was uncertain whether the Agent Venom film would take place on Battleworld, a planet from the comics created from fragments of destroyed realities following the Multiverse’s collapse. The same account also speculated that Agent Venom could be released prior to Avengers: Secret Wars and would have a significant connection to Sony’s upcoming Silver Sable movie. Richtman has since clarified that he did not make these claims; his original report simply stated that an Agent Venom film is currently being developed.

It isn’t certain whether the Agent Venom movie shares continuity with Hardy’s trilogy or exists in its own universe. However, the ending of Venom: The Last Dance suggests that the franchise might persist beyond Eddie Brock. Although Venom appeared to perish while selflessly saving Eddie and the universe, the post-credits scene of a potential Venom 3 hints that there remains a fragment of the symbiote that could attach itself to another host.

In the comic books, Flash Thompson consents to unite with a symbiote following his leg amputation during the Iraq War. Yet, he can only be connected to the symbiote for 48 hours at most, or else it might seize full control of him, potentially leading to destructive outcomes. A movie titled “Agent Venom” could expand on the ending of “The Last Dance” or create a fresh, original origin story for Flash Thompson’s version, although this is purely hypothetical.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation after watching Venom: The Last Dance. With Knull seemingly emerging as an enduring menace, it appears Sony intends to keep the franchise alive, with or without Tom Hardy. Given that their Spider-Man Universe hasn’t exactly set the box office alight except for Venom, it’s not surprising they’re looking to capitalize on their most successful Marvel property (apart from the main Spider-Man films). Whether this strategy will prove fruitful is yet to be determined.

Venom: The Last Dance is now playing in theaters.
