The franchise's movies that have released are Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, Morbius (2022), starring Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, and Madame Web (2024), starring Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb. Hardy will return as Brock and Venom in Venom: The Last Dance (2024), the last movie of the Venom trilogy. Another SSU movie was released in 2024, Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff / Kraven. The franchise will also have TV series, starting with Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir, returning from the Spider-Verse movies. More movies and series are in development.

The franchise is connected to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), because Tom Holland's Peter Parker / Spider-Man appears in Let There Be Carnage, while Hardy returns as his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The franchise is also connected to the Spider-Verse movies, because Peggy Lu returns as Mrs. Chen in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).

Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web have negative reviews, while Let There Be Carnage has mixed reviews. All four movies have made $1.630 billion, but Morbius and Madame Web were box-office bombs.
