As Venom 3 starts finding hosts to bond to, it seems that the third (and rumoured final) outing for Tom Hardy’s titular Lethal Protector has found a perfect addition to its ranks, as Chiwetel Ejiofor has joined the team for Sony’s symbiotic Marvel anti-hero threequel.

There is no word yet on who Ejiofor is playing, although we can see him doing either hero or villain rather well, as the Doctor Strange and 12 Years A Slave star is an exciting addition to this (or any) much-awaited blockbuster.

Series writer Kelly Marcel not only pens the screenplay again (alongside Tom Hardy himself) but this time around, will be on directorial duties also. With Hardy obviously back in the symbiote/human dual leads Venom and Eddie and Juno Temple also confirmed for the film. 

We’ll have to see who else is announced in the coming weeks or whether the film tries to link to any other Sony shared universe stuff like Morbius or the upcoming Kraven The Hunter but needless to say Venom is on his way back to the big screen, and looks to be bringing the big guns for this trilogy closer!
