This comes after conflicting reports about Venom 2's release date that surfaced just last week. Multiple sources reported that the film could be delayed to January 21, 2022, before Variety reported that the news of a delay was inaccurate.
Venom 2 has already been delayed three times. It was originally set to premiere in June, before getting pushed back to September 17, September 24, and finally its current release date, October 15.
The movie was most recently delayed because Hollywood is still reacting to the Delta variant of COVID-19 surging across the United States. This has led to some movies bringing in below-average box office numbers.
Tom Hardy will reprise his role as Eddie Brock in Venom 2, and he'll face off against Woody Harrelson's Carnage, who was teased in the original's post-credits scene.
