Sony may have taken the necessary steps to create its own Marvel universe. according to VarietyJustin Kroll, the studio has set the release dates for two upcoming movies based on Marvel characters. Kroll theorized that these dates are for Morbius the living vampire and the not yet announced Venom 2, which would likely include the return of Tom Hardy. You can read Kroll's tweet below.

Sony dates two spin-offs without Marvel-Spidey title. First is a non-consecutive sequel starting on July 10, 2020, the second is a sequel to October 2, 2020. My assumptions are MORBIUS for July and Venom for October. history to come

Venom producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach have previously indicated that a Morbius The movie with Jared Leto in the lead role would be the next cinematic entry into Sony's Marvel Universe. Arad suggested filming could begin in February. However, no additional casting announcement has been made. Last week, Leto himself teased the imminent start of production in tweeting a video of himself shaving his beard for the role. Daniel Espinosa runs the Morbius film shot from a screenplay by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

Meanwhile, Venom continues to challenge all expectations. Despite a massive influx of negative reviews, the critical reception of the film runs counter to its box office performance. Since its initial release, the film has shattered previous October records for screenings in preview and on the rough opening weekend. Venom broke more records when it opened in China earlier this month. He earned more than $ 34 million on his first day in this country and raised $ 111 million during his opening weekend. With a global total of over $ 780.5 million, Venom surprisingly managed to outperform the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and the original Star wars at the global box office. Thanks to the mid-generic scene of the film, we can think that Hardy's Eddie Brock will face Cletus Kassady / Carnage of Woody Harrelson in Venom 2.
