‘We Knew It Would Be Three’: Tom Hardy And Kelly Marcel Reflect On Venom Trilogy Following Release Of The Last Dance
Tom Hardy and Kelly Marcel speak up about Venom being a trilogy in the Marvel universe. Following the release of Venom: The Last Dance, the actor and director spilled the beans over the films.
Venom: The Last Dance has hit theaters, marking the end of the Venom Trilogy, which was hailed by Mavel and Sony Pictures. Following the release and the massive response from the audience, Tom Hardy, who played Eddie Brock/Venom, and the director of the film shared that they always knew that there would be three movies. Marcel has been a major part of the films since the beginning, as she added her points into writing and directing the first installment until the third.
In conversation with People Magazine, the actor and the filmmaker revealed that when Sony approached Marcel with the offer to direct the Venom series, she took it up to make a note that three parts of the storyline are released simultaneously.
The director stated, “We knew it would be three. We knew it was a trilogy and we knew it would end like this from the beginning.” She went on to explain, “Sony asked me to [direct] and I was like, ‘Oh, okay then.’ I have been on the first two movies and it felt like we knew that this was the third and final one and knew that this one was going to be both a blast but emotional as well.”
