Venom 3 has a new logo, and this time, it offers a different visual update on the symbiote-centric franchise. The Marvel movie is touted as Tom Hardy’s final appearance as Venom, as is evident from the actor describing the movie as Eddie Brock’s “last ride.” With Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor confirmed as the only actors cast in Venom 3 so far (apart from Hardy), not much is known about the plot of Venom 3. In the case of the title reveal of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, it was evident that Carnage would be the movie’s big villain. But with Venom 3’s simplistic title design, it’s difficult to ascertain the premise.

Instead of a subtitle like “Let There Be Carnage,” the Venom 3 title logo includes a red number 3 behind the Sony Pictures franchise’s logo. Revealed as a part of Sony Pictures’ lineup of upcoming projects at the CES 2024 (source: Discussing Film), the logo has divided the Internet with some social media users desiring a subtitled official title like the previous movie or a pun like “V3NOM” that would go well with the movie’s absurdist humor. It’s uncertain if the red 3 signifies the return of Carnage, considering that Venom bit its head off in the 2021 sequel. As the Venom comics have no shortage of symbiotes, the title might have a hidden meaning.
