Looks like we'll be waiting a while longer to find out, as Venom #200 has been delayed from April to May, which means the relaunch will probably not be solicited for May now.

I'll say it again, I'm leaning Jason Aaron because I'm willing to bet Marvel will want to loop Knull into his Avengers 10000000 BC storyline.

Oh god can we please keep Aaron far far away from Venom

Aaron and Cates are the exact same writer.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
So the thought occurred to me, what if we find out Venom's true name in #200 and the Venom series gets retitled with Cates still on the book?
So Marvel announced that the free comic book day Comic is Hulk / Venom. It comes out in August. Cates run on Venom ends with #200 in May. Immortal Hulk ends at 50, which with the current schedule would end in September. What if Cates is headed to Hulk and Ewing is headed to Venom and the FCBD title is the book that sets this up? Both books relaunch in September with new creative teams and maybe new #1's? For this to happen we would need a double ship month for IH in June or July. Then IH could wrap up in August with #50? IH will be retitled maybe just Hulk? Also Venom would have to go on hiatus for a few months as well before relaunching.
I have a feeling Cates may be headed over to do Hulk. Venom has been stellar, no doubt about it. But Hulk has been the higher profile book and I could see Marvel wanting Cates to take that on. Especially since he is good with horror stuff. Not sure if Ewing would head to Venom but, since the character has stronger cosmic ties now, I could see Ewing taking it on alongside his Guardians and Sword stuff.
Me, I'm bringing back Flash Thompson. Sorry y'all
