The 2024 movie schedule is about to get shaken up.
This week, Sony moved its Marvel anti-hero film “Venom 3” from July to November 8, 2024.
Led by Tom Hardy as journalist Eddie Brock, who becomes inhabited by a wise-cracking alien symbiote, the currently untitled movie is a sequel to 2021’s “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.”
While the actors strike effectively ended on Wednesday night, its reverberations will be felt for years. Many films slated for 2024 were in the middle of production when the labor dispute began 119 days ago — and will be forced to change their release dates.
“Venom 3,” which was written and directed by Kelly Marcel, will need to quickly resume shooting to be completed in-time for its fall debut.
Likewise, “Mission Impossible 8,” the sequel to “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One,” was shuffled from June 2024 to May 23, 2025, because it’s still filming.
However, while “Dune: Part 2,” starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, was finished, its release date was moved Nov. 3, 2023 to March 15, 2024 to allow its red-hot lead actors to promote the sci-fi epic in interviews and on social media.
Director Jon M. Chu’s two-part “Wicked,” a screen adaptation of Stephen Schwartz’s 20-year-old Broadway musical, had 10 days of filming left when the strike kicked off on July 14. Part One remains on-schedule for November 27, 2024.
While the “Venom” series has never been popular with critics — The Post called it “the worst comic book movie franchise out there” — the first two films raked in a combined $1.36 billion at the worldwide box office.
