8 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2020 Movies

8. Naomie Harris Will Play Shriek - Venom 2

While this one is on the cusp of being confirmed, it's still in rumour territory for now, until we actually hear something official from the studio.

Early in October, it was reported that Naomie Harris (most famous for her role as Moneypenny in the last few Bond movies) was "in talks" to join the cast of Venom 2 as the villainous Shriek.

Born Frances Louise Barrison, Shriek's first appearance in Marvel lore came in a 1993 comic, before she went on to become romantically entangled with Carnage/Cletus Kasady, who will be played by Woody Harrelson in Venom 2. In terms of her powers, she can manipulate sound, including the ability to create concussive blasts, disorientating and confusing her enemies.

Given that Carnage is set to be a big part of the movie, it makes sense to bring Shriek in at this stage too, not only from a story point of view, but purely in terms of upping the ante, something that a big-budget sequel really needs to do.

But again, until we actually hear word from Sony that Harris has been cast (talks could always fall through, even at this late stage) her involvement is just a rumour for now.
