Robert Richardson has signed on to shoot
Venom 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
One of Hollywood's most prestigious cinematographers, Richardson is a three-time Academy Award winner for his work on
JFK,
The Aviator, and
Hugo. He's frequently worked with a number of prominant directors in his career, including multiple films with Oliver Stone, Quintin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese.
Richardson is coming off work as cinematrographer on Quentin Tarantino's
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. His other Tarantino films include
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and
Vol. 2,
Inglourious Basterds,
Django Unchained, and
The Hateful Eight. For Scorsese, he's worked on
Casino,
Bringing Out the Dead,
The Aviator,
Shutter Island, and
Hugo. With Stone, he won an Academy Award for
JFK, but also worked on
Platoon,
The Doors,
Natural Born Killers, and more. Suffice to say, Richardson has got a quite the extensive resume and his experience should prove valuable for Sony's sequel.
Venom 2 will actually be a reunion for Robert Richardson and Andy Serkis, as the former was the cinematographer for 2017's biographical drama
Breathe, which happened to be the directorial debut for Serkis.
Venom 2 is slated for release in 2020. Tom Hardy will be reprising his role as Eddie Brock and will be
joined by returning star Michelle Williams. Woody Harrelson will also return as Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage.
