• A "Venom" sequel is in the works with writer Kelly Marcel, a writer of the first movie, according to Variety.
• With the stunning success of "Venom," and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" winning a Golden Globe on Sunday, Sony's Spider-Man movie universe shows no signs of slowing down.
• Sony owns the rights to 900 Marvel characters, and has several other Marvel movies in development.

"Venom" was one of 2018's most surprising success stories.

It broke the October opening weekend box-office record with $80 million, and went on to score $855 million worldwide. Tom Hardy's bizarre comic-book movie, which is based on one of Spider-Man's most popular enemies, shattered expectations, so it's no surprise that a follow up is on the way.
