Variety reports Naomie Harris is in talks to play the villain Shriek opposite Tom Hardy in Venom 2.

Sony’s Venom concluded with a post-credits that hinted at Carnage serving as the primary antagonist to Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock in the sequel. However, it was recently revealed that Venom 2 will also introduce the Marvel Comics villain named Shriek to the Tom Hardy film series.

Now, Variety has learned Naomie Harris is in talks to play Shriek in Tom Hardy’s Venom 2. Sony reportedly had no comment on Naomie Harris’ casting negotiations for the role of Shriek in the Venom sequel.

Naomie Harris’ credits include the role of Eve Moneypenny in the James Bond films SkyfallSpectre, and the upcoming No Time to Die. Furthermore, Naomie Harris earned an Academy Award nomination for her role in Best Picture winner Moonlight and is currently filming HBO/Sky’s The Third Day.

Introduced in Marvel’s Spider-Man Unlimited No. 1, Shriek was originally known as Frances Barrison, a drug dealer whose latent mutant powers emerged after severe trauma following a confrontation with Cloak and Dagger. Having unlocked her abilities to fire sonic energy blasts and stir up dark and violent emotions in others, Shriek eventually became the accomplice and love interest of Carnage.
