Venom And Ghostbusters Sequels On The Way

Venom

Sony Pictures hit CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday night, and in addition to some direct Spider-news and presentations, announced sequels to both Venom Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Few details were offered on either, but with the box office success of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, another outing was surely a no-brainer (no jokes about the movies themselves, please) for the studio.

Tom Hardy seems certain to return as Eddie Brock and his violent alien symbiote dual identity, but there's no word on when the movie might emerge.

We know even less about the new Ghostbusters movie, but Afterlife director Jason Reitman has said that he planned to launch a new universe around the ghost-catching concept, layering in post-credit scenes to suggest just that. We'll have to wait and see what form the new film takes.

The announcement came in the form of a mash-up reel, which included footage of the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody, The Equalizer 3, never-before-seen clips from Tom Hanks’ A Man Called Otto and Kraven The Hunter.

Also on stage as part of the presentation? Viola Davis, bringing the trailer for historical action drama The Woman King and David Leitch, who offered 15 minutes of Brad Pitt-starring, darkly comedic action thriller Bullet Train.
