According toDeadline , Harris has formally sign on to the flick . Withfilming reported to envelop in May , the actor is a surprisingly late addition . He is n’t the only one , however , withDoctor Who ’s Matt Smith in final talksto number aboard the undertaking . As with Smith , the specifics and nature of Harris ’s role stay unwaveringly under wrap .

Whilst it remain to be seen whether it indeed lives up toVenom ’s financial succeeder , Morbiusis certainly put an interesting hurl together .
