Regardless of the reaction, Sony’s Venom movies will be around for a long time. Having already released the first Venom film in 2018, followed up with a sequel in 2021, the Tom Hardy-led franchise has its share of fans, but also a large contingent of detractors. Some question why it exists, posing questions about the logic behind making Venom movies without Spider-Man.
Hardy is noted for having played a greater role in the sequel, as he tried to take control of the anti-hero symbiote-powered and further define it. The second film had him as producer. Sony has made both films profitable, and it is not surprising that they have begun development of a third film.
It has been confirmed by Hardy that he was paid $7 million for his first appearance in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. His financial return for Venom was not disclosed, however it is possible to assume that it was greater than the salary he received in the original film. But as it would seem, Venom 3 may be Hardy’s most lucrative outing of all.
Tom Hardy’s Big Venom 3 Payment
According to Variety, Tom Hardy, star of the upcoming Venom 3, will earn $20 million for his acting duties in the film. He will again be serving as producer for the film as he did with Venom.
Hardy’s Making Bank From Venom
It is clear that Sony wants to make an investment in Tom Hardy. The actor is a star with considerable social media cache and has considerable star power.
The actor isn’t only playing Eddie Brock, he does voice acting for Venom, which could have allowed him to make more money. It’s important to note that he is also the co-producer of this third installment.
Some fans still have a question: Will Hardy’s Venom meet Tom Hollands Spider-Man, however? Given Holland’s involvement in the MCU, it seems unlikely. Marvel Studios is currently exploring the Multiverse through its latest projects. But, it’s all possible. Especially when one considers that Eddie Brock briefly existed on the MCU’s Earth-616, as seen in the mid-credit scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
It’s not known when Venom3 will hit theatres. However, principal photography hasn’t yet begun.
