We've got good news for all of you Venom fans out there: it appears that the rumors of Sony delaying Venom: Let There Be Carnage to 2022 were not true.
In late August, there was plenty of speculation suggesting that Sony would delay the highly anticipated Venom sequel for the 'nth time. One report, in particular, claimed that several insiders came across information confirming that Sony has decided to delay Venom 2 and that an official announcement was coming after CinemaCon 2021.
It's been a few days since CinemaCon 2021 has ended and all we've gotten is good news about the Venom sequel.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is all set for October 15
Because of the ongoing virus surge resulting from the Delta variant of COVID-19, plenty of theaters all across the globe, including the United States, are closing down again. Even in areas where theaters remained open, the finances just didn't make sense. Movies like James Gunn's The Suicide Squad performed poorly at the box office despite positive critic and audience reviews. This would explain why Sony has already elected to delay Venom 2 three times.
