No writer is attached to the project although Sony’s animation arm, Sony Pictures Animation, is opening up a writers room to develop the a script or takes.
I feel like this is just Sony flaunting that they own the rights to characters like Venom and they want a return on investment. This is basically a signal to Marvel Studios, “We own Venom. We made three live action films. We’re going to make some animated films. Make us an offer.”
Sony Pictures Animation has a strong track record. The Spider-verse films have been fantastic so far. They own K-Pop Demon Hunters who exploded this past year. They have a steady track record with Hotel Transylvania. They intend to expand with Mitchell vs the Machines.
We’ve also seen rumors of future Spider-verse spinoffs, including Gwen Stacy.
This supposed film is years away, five years at least.

So I’m never going to 100% say no to a sequel, but this is probably the closest you can get.
First off, you need a story to tell. Face Off tells a ridiculous story that is absolutely wild. You can’t just “face off” again in the sequel. You’d have to find a way to body swap but in a whole new way, likely one that wouldn’t even make sense with the title.
Second, the primary antagonist is dead. So now you need to retcon the ending, which is usually a bad sign.
Third, no clear mention that the original cast is returning. I struggle to find a sequel without the original cast that worked.
Fourth, it’s too many years later. You can sometimes make years later sequels work, Blade Runner 2049 comes to mind, maybe a few others, but that list is short.
