‘Ted Lasso’ Actress Juno Temple in Talks to Star in ‘Venom 3’
Written by SOURCE on April 21, 2023
Juno Temple is engaged in discussions about joining the cast of Venom 3 in a leading role, as reported by Deadline.
While any information regarding Venom 3 remains a secret, a source tells the Hollywood Reporter that the Ted Lasso star could play an existing Marvel character. Tom Hardy is returning as Venom, but there will be a change behind the camera with Kelly Marcel replacing Andy Serkis. It will be the feature directorial debut for Marcel, who co-produced and penned the screenplay for the 2018 sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
The first two Venom films have been box office successes for Sony. The first earned over $800 million worldwide. The sequel didn’t match the box office sum of its predecessor, but was dealt a bad hand given its theatrical release during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite facing an uphill battle, Let There Be Carnage had the biggest domestic opening weekend in the pandemic era with $90 million, outperforming the likes of Marvel’s Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as well as F9.
Even though Sony confirmed a third installment was in the works last year, Hardy disclosed in a 2018 Total Film magazine interview that he signed up for three movie.
In its post-credits scene, Let There Be Carnage teased a crossover with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, and anticipation only heightened when Hardy’s Eddie Brock appeared in a post-credits scene for 2021’s No Way Home. If this is Hardy’s final turn as Venom, he may be going out with on a high note.
