[RUMOR] Ruben Fleischer Will Not Return for Venom 2
It sounds like Venom 2 will reportedly have a new director after all. In January, it was announced that Kelly Marcel was returning to write the sequel. In that report it was hinted that director Ruben Fleischer would not be returning since they want to start production in the fall and he'll still be working on Zombieland: Double Tap. A new rumor from Discussing Film says that Fleischer won't be returning due to scheduling conflicts.
Sony likely isn't that happy that Fleischer isn't able to return considering how well the first movie did. They want to make lightning strike twice which can be harder to do without the same creative team. We'll have to see who Sony ends up choosing to direct the sequel soon.
Summary: When Eddie Brock acquires the powers of a symbiote, he will have to release his alter-ego "Venom" to save his life.
Venom, directed by Ruben Fleischer, will star Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed, Jenny Slate, Reid Scott, and Michelle Williams. It is availible for purchase as a digital, 4K UHD Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray, or DVD now.
