Some pretty cutting reviews didn't stop Venom being a hit at the box office, nor did they halt plans for a sequel.
部分相当尖酸刻薄的影评并未阻止《毒液》成为热门电影，而且也没有中断片方制作续集的计划。

“I can't say anything other than that it is happening,” Venom co-writer Jeff Pinkner said in an interview.
“我只能说《毒液》续集确实在制作中，”《毒液》的联合编剧杰夫·皮克纳尔在一次采访中说道。

With Tom Hardy at its centre as journalist Eddie Brock, the Marvel title has been one of the highest grossing films of the year, taking more than $850 million at the box office worldwide.
漫威这部影片的主角是汤姆·哈迪，他在片中饰演记者艾迪·布洛克，这部电影是今年票房最高的影片之一，其全球票房逾8.5亿美元。

In spite of his insistence that he must stay silent on the sequel, Pinkner did, in fact, go on to hint at a major new character for the next instalment.
尽管皮科纳尔坚持，关于续集他什么都不能说，但他其实还是给出了暗示，那就是续集会有一位重要的新角色。

“Without revealing anything that I'm not supposed to reveal, it is not impossible a future Venom movie Spider-Man will play a significant role,” he said.
“我不会透露我不该透露的任何信息，不过在《毒液》今后的续集中蜘蛛侠担任重要角色并非不可能。”

“I think it's fair to say that everyone involved would be very excited by a Spider-Man/Venom movie.”
“公平地讲，我认为参与制作的每一个人都会因一部有蜘蛛侠和毒液的电影而兴奋不已。”
