Washington DC, Feb. 21 -- 'Venom,' the symbiote supervillian who became a favourite Spider-Man baddie, will appear in an animated film from 'Final Destination Bloodlines' directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, reported Variety.

Tom Hardy, who played Eddie Brock and his be-fanged counterpart in three live-action "Venom" movies, will be involved in the project, according to a studio source, as quoted by Variety.

It's unclear, however, if he will voice the character in this instalment or if he will serve some other role.

The project is in the early stages of development, so a lot could change. Critics more or less hated the "Venom" franchise, but the films were massive hits, collectively earning more than $1.8 billion globally.
