Tom Hardy has a script for Venom 3 ready to go
We don't know what Venom 3 will be about, but we know it will be slimy and full of teeth

Venom: Let There Be Carnage was one of the biggest movies of the last 12 months, especially if you don’t count movies that feature Doctor Stephen Strange or Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, so it was hardly a surprise when Sony announced back in April that it was greenlighting a third movie about Eddie Brock and his slimy, toothy, man-eating buddy Venom. We still don’t know anything about that third movie, especially since Spider-Man: No Way Home just spun the big multiverse twist from the end of Carnage into a joke (which was the right choice, of course), but we do now know that Venom star Tom Hardy and writer Kelly Marcel have some idea, because they’ve just finished a draft of a Venom 3 script.
Hardy teased the existence of the Venom 3 script on Instagram (via IGN), revealing nothing but a cover page with no title (just a funny MS Paint cartoon of Venom with his tongue making a three) and a “Story By” credit for Hardy and Marvel with a “Written By” credit for just Marcel. The two of them also have story credits on Venom: Let There Be Carnage, so if it matters to you that Hardy is retaining control of this franchise, there you go.
And that’s it for stuff we know about Venom 3, which leaves a lot of questions. They already did Carnage for the last movie, which is the obvious thing for a Venom movie, so they’ll have to work a bit harder this time. They could bring in more of the other symbiote characters from the comics, but most of them aren’t very interesting at all (certainly less interesting than Carnage), unless Venom and Carnage have to team up to fight other symbiote characters. They could also tie it in with the recent King In Black event from the comics where Venom had to stop Knull, the evil god of the symbiotes, but that seems too big for a Venom movie.
On the other hand, Knull is also the creator of All-Black The Necrosword, which is going to be a thing in Thor: Love And Thunder, so that makes it timely (even if Venom is in a separate universe from the MCU). On yet another hand, though, King In Black wasn’t great, so hanging too much stuff on it might not be a great idea. We’ll see!

They should just do something totally out of left field, like Venom and Carnage have to team up to stop an unending onslaught of adorable puppies.
They’re coming right for us!
I sure hope Dan’s in it!
Cool he has a script, I guess that’s a step up from whatever the first two Venom films had.
I’m waiting for some studio executive to realize that paying a writer to write scripts for these movies is just not worth the extra money. Like it’s not helping, just stop.
I watched Let There Be Carnage on a plane recently and while the entire movie is a total mess the opening specifically was some of the worst stuff I’ve seen in quite a while.
The twist is that the Venom franchise saved its “hero fights a dark reflection of himself” plot for the second movie, instead of the first, as is usual for the Marvel movies. So it’s a toss-up which of the other two other plots they’ll use: will it be “Long-gone person from hero’s past returns,” which is the usual plot for movie #2, or “Hero hits rock bottom/goes on the run when the consequences of his actions catch up with him,” which is standard for movie #3?

Did they, though? Isn’t the villain of the first movie also a venom?
Yeeah they just did Venom fights another Venom for two films. I wonder which Venom Venom will fight for the climactic finale!
When I first saw the headline, I thought to myself, “Shouldn’t there be a ‘Venom 2′, first?”Then I thought a little bit longer, and thought, “Oh, yeah. Woody Harrelson.”
Venom 3: Please forget we made Venom 2 and Morpheus(but love the memes). Please come see this because it’s all we got now!!!
Not even knowing Morbius’s correct name is the meme at it’s peak.
Venom’s gonna ven.
I’m surprised its getting a third, after how bad Venom 2 was.
Hopefully he keeps it to himself.
A sequel to Upgrade first please as in this case it was a better Venom film with a better Tom Hardy in this case!
another Venom has to be Tom Hardy’s obsession and not another Mad Max? Come on man.
Man, he REALLY wants people to forget that his worst movie is Star Trek: Nemesis.
Do Knull you cowards! Venom fighting other symbiotes is exhausting.
