Is Michelle Williams Not In Venom: The Last Dance? Director Shares Insight
The highly anticipated film Venom: The Last Dance will soon hit theaters. Among many familiar faces from previous Venom movies, one important absence in this latest venture is Michelle Williams, who plays Anne Weying.
The director of the film, Kelly Marcel, recently discussed the absence of Williams in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Marcel revealed that they intentionally wanted Eddie and Venom to be isolated.
She explained that the main characters needed to be out of their “comfort zone” so they could rely solely on each other. Marcel highlighted their journey towards symbiosis and becoming the Lethal Protector together.
As their alliance progresses, the danger they face escalates, putting the world at risk. Marcel emphasized that their decisions lead to their downfall, ensuring that none of the characters from previous Venom films, except Mrs. Chen, fit into this storyline.
When asked about rumors linking her to directing the James Bond film, Marcel expressed her astonishment and humility at being considered for such a prestigious role.
She acknowledged the lack of female directors helming the legendary franchise and expressed gratitude for being mentioned alongside other talented directors.
Rumors surrounding potential directors for the Bond film also include Bart Layton, Yann Demange, David Michod, and Edwards Berger.
As for Marcel’s current project, Venom: The Last Dance is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, featuring a star-studded cast including Tom Hardy, Peggy Lu, Juno Temple, Cristo Fernandez, and more.
