Despite hitting cinemas in just over a month, Sony Pictures’ Venom has added a new name to its ranks.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Ron Cephas Jones has landed a currently-unknown role in the picture. Jones is likely best known to genre fans for his ever-charismatic appearances in Marvel’s Luke Cage.

To be directed by Ruben Fleischer, the Tom Hardy-headlined Venom is set for an October 5th release. If all goes well with that film, this will be the launching pad for Sony’s shared Spider-Verse realm that already has plans for a Jared Leto-starring Morbius flick, and solo outings for Silk, Silver Sable, Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter, and plentiful more.
