The reshuffle of release dates continues. Hot on the heels of the announcement of a new launch date for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which has been postponed until June 2021, Paramount has revealed that the launch of “Without Remorse,” the action thriller starring Michael B Jordan will also be delayed.

The adaptation of the eponymous novel by Tom Clancy, “Without Remorse” will finally reach US theatres on Oct 2, a date initially reserved for the “Venom” sequel with Tom Hardy.

To begin with, “Without Remorse” was due to release in US theatres on Sept18.

Directed by Stefano Sollima (“Sicario: Day of the Soldado”), the action movie based on the book by Tom Clancy (“Jack Ryan”) will bring together the acting talents of Brett Gelman, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell, Jacob Scipio, Jack Kesy, Todd Lasance, Luke Mitchell and Cam Gigandet alongside the star of “Creed II,” Michael B Jordan.

The story will follow John Kelly, aka John Clark, a former US Navy SEAL, as he attempts to avenge the murder of his wife. In his quest for justice, the veteran finds himself embroiled in a much larger conspiracy.

After Jack Ryan, John Kelly is the second most popular character in the fictional world created by Tom Clancy.

The change of release date could be a stroke of luck for the action movie. Notwithstanding the precarious situation created by the pandemic, the start of October is thought to be one of the best times for a film theatre release.

The first “Venom” opus, which released in the US on Oct 5, 2018 turned out to be a runaway success, with more than 80 million dollars in receipts on its first weekend, setting a record for the October launch of a film in the US for Sony Pictures.
