00:01Eyes, lungs, pancreas, so many snacks, so little time.
00:07Venom 2 has officially found its director and actor-turned-filmmaker Andy Serkis.
00:11Shortly after The Hollywood Reporter exclusively broke the news, Serkis took to Instagram, writing,
00:16"...it's actually happening. I can feel it. The symbiote has found a host in me. And I'm ready for the
00:20ride. Can't wait. Are you ready, Tom Hardy?"
00:23The sequel will once again star Hardy as the journalist who joins with an alien symbiote.
00:27What the hell are you?
00:30We are Venom.
00:33Now, this won't be Serkis' first foray into the Marvel Universe. He showed off his acting chops in 2018's Black
00:39Panther as bad guy Claw.
00:41Hello. I can see you. I can see you.
00:47Venom 2 will be Serkis' third directorial effort after the 2017 drama Breathe and last year's Mowgli Legend of the
00:54Jungle on Netflix.
00:59I've never seen a man cut before.
01:02Serkis rose to fame for his motion-capture and performance-capture acting work as Gollum in the Lord of the
01:07Rings trilogy.
01:08He then cut his teeth with second-unit directing by teaming back up with director Peter Jackson for the Hobbit
01:13trilogy.
01:14His expertise with CG and performance-capture technology is one of the factors that landed him the Venom 2 gig.
01:20Sony had no comment.
