Most people would be happy to even make it to 91 years of age, never mind still be working. But then again, not everybody has enjoyed the same sort of longevity as Clint Eastwood, who cemented his iconic status in Hollywood half a century ago, and hasn't ever showed any signs of slowing down.
The small print in the current contract between Sony and Marvel Studios has never been made public, so it's unclear who's allowed to do what without risking the wrath of whom. That being said, the buildup for Venom: Let There Be Carnage has made things clearer than they've arguably ever been.
For almost a decade, the idea of a Zombieland sequel appeared to grow increasingly far-fetched, especially when a $23 million horror comedy that made $102 million at the box office is hardly the sort of thing that would have the studio rushing to put their hands in their pockets to franchise the absolute sh*t out of it.
Almost every major blockbuster these days is envisioned as the first installment in a trilogy. Even if the studio doesn't announce it right of the gate, you can guarantee that it's the plan in the overwhelming majority of cases. Of course, that's entirely dependent on box office performance, so by that metric we can safely assume that Venom 3 will be given an official green light sooner rather than later.
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans were waiting on tenterhooks last night throughout the Primetime Emmy Awards coverage, keeping their fingers crossed in the hopes that WandaVision would walk away with at least one major prize, having been shortlisted in pretty much all of the major categories.

Most fans will recognize James DeMonaco as the creator of The Purge, the five-film franchise that's earned over half a billion dollars at the box office. However, his latest movie This is the Night marks a startling change of pace.
When Kevin Feige ascended to the position of Chief Creative Officer and effectively folded Marvel Television, disregarding any and all shows produced under Jeph Loeb's watch as official canon, it raised several questions about the short and long term futures of the comic book company's episodic output.
It was only a few short years ago that the wider film and television industry viewed Netflix with a mixture of scorn and derision. The upstart streaming service had grand designs on world domination, with many old school figures in Hollywood scoffing at the very notion of any project that didn't air on a network or play in a theater gaining awards season recognition.
Production has wrapped on Disney Plus Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Lucasfilm aren't wasting any time moving on to the next episodic project set in a galaxy far, far away. Ewan McGregor's return as the legendary Jedi only finished up in the last few weeks, but The Mandalorian's third season is already preparing to move into the California soundstages where the majority of the streaming exclusives are being shot.
