Venom (Sony Pictures)

JAKARTA - The production house Sony Pictures has announced that the screening of Venom: Let There Be Carnage in theaters has been postponed again.

This comes after cases of COVID-19 increased sharply in the United States. The delta variant COVID-19 is also affecting the cinema industry again.

Although several tentpole films such as A Quiet Place Part II and F9: The Fast Saga received box office numbers, there were many films that were considered to have failed to bring profits. To avoid this, Sony delayed the release of Venom.

This is the third delay for the film starring Tom Hardy. Venom 2 was previously scheduled to premiere on September 17 and then September 24.

Directed by Andy Serkis, Venom: Let There Be Carnage tells the story of Venom and Carnage, Venom's eternal enemy.

The film is expected to follow the success of its first part in 2018 which grossed $855 million.

Meanwhile, Tom Hardy as the main character expressed his desire to continue the story to Venom 3. "The third part will not get the green light if the second is not successful, but the studio is very impressed with the second part," said Hardy quoting Comicbook today, August 13 .

Venom: Let There Be Carnage will premiere October 15.
