A sequel to 2018?s Venom has been in the gestation stage since the comic book spin-off became a semi-surprise smash, defying expectations that it was too weird (or simply not good) to make Aquaman money. But it did make Aquaman money (or near to it), so Sony ? who has nothing to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe owned by Disney ? is doubling down for part two, even, as per Variety, hopefully bringing back one of the writers from the original.
