\n\tFollowing their breakout moment with Final Destination: Bloodlines, Zach Lipovsky<\/a> and Adam B. Stein<\/a> are eyeing to direct an animated Venom<\/a> movie for Sony<\/a>, Deadline can confirm.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo word on the plot of the new film, and there\u2019s not a writer attached. Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are expected to return as producers following their involvement with the live-action Venom films, as is the films\u2019 star, Tom Hardy, in some capacity.<\/p>\n

\n\tKicking off with 2018\u2019s Venom, directed by Ruben Fleischer, the franchise centers on Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist who becomes an antagonist to Spider-Man after an alien symbiote bonds to his body. The character, created by writer David Michelinie and artist Todd McFarlane, first appeared on the page in 1988\u2019s Amazing Spider-Man No. 300 and, prior to Hardy\u2019s involvement in the franchise, appeared on screen in Sam Raimi\u2019s Amazing Spider-Man 3, with Topher Grace portraying.<\/p>\n

\n\tVenom is the most successful of Sony\u2019s stand-alone Spider-Man efforts centered on villain characters from the MCU. The first film grossed more than $856 million worldwide and led to successful sequels Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Venom: The Last Dance in 2021 and 2024, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tLipovsky and Stein are riding a moment of major heat after directing Bloodlines, which last year broke out as the highest-grossing and best-reviewed installment in New Line\u2019s Final Destination series with over $317 million in global box office. Since then, they\u2019ve attached to co-write a new Gremlins movie<\/a> alongside Chris Columbus, with other projects set up so far including The Earthling at Columbia Pictures, Long Lost at Universal, and The Traveler at Paramount.<\/p>\n
