In the biggest sign yet that Hollywood’s autumn plans are being altered by the coronavirus surge driven by the Delta variant, Sony Pictures has delayed the release of the big-budget sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Instead of opening in theatres on September 24, the Venom sequel will now debut on October 15.
