Sony Pictures Animation is working on a new animated film featuring Marvel’s iconic anti-hero, Venom, marking the character’s first lead role in an animated feature.

The project is being directed by the filmmaking team of Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, known for their work on the upcoming Final Destination: Bloodlines. This will be their first venture into animation, as they have primarily focused on live-action films.

Currently in early development, the film does not yet have a writer attached. Sony is reportedly assembling a writers’ room to begin crafting the story. Details about the animation style, production process, and whether the film will be released theatrically or on streaming platforms have not been disclosed.

This animated project follows the success of Sony’s live-action Venom trilogy, which starred Tom Hardy as journalist Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote. Released between 2018 and 2024, the three films collectively earned nearly $2 billion worldwide. Hardy, who also produced the later films, is expected to be involved in the animated feature, though it is unclear if he will return as the voice of Venom.

Producers from the live-action series, including Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach, are anticipated to continue their roles with the animated film. Additionally, Kelly Marcel, who wrote and directed Venom: The Last Dance, is reported to be part of the project.

This development highlights Sony Pictures Animation’s ongoing commitment to expanding its portfolio of animated superhero films, building on the success of its Spider-Verse series. Further announcements regarding the creative team, voice cast, and release schedule are expected in the future.
