Several months ago we got an incredible cool teaser for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”, the follow-up to 2018’s critically panned but big box office success “Venom”. The film is part of the strange symbiotic (see what I did there) relationship between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios. The Venom movies are not part of the MCU although there are vague connections that leave room for future possibilities. Still, director Andy Serkis (yep, THAT Andy Serkis) tells IGN that this Venom story is very much as its own world….for now.
Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock and from the comical opening moments of the new trailer it doesn’t look like he and his alien alter-ego Venom have worked out all the kinks in their symbiotic relationship. But of course get more serious when we see Woody Harrelson who plays psychotic serial killer Cletus Kasady. Fans of the comic storylines Carnage in 1992 and Maximum Carnage in 1993 have a good idea of how dark and violent things are liable to become. I’m hoping Sony goes that route rather than making this a light comical jaunt. If so, this could be really good.
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” opens in theaters September 24th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

This looks like fun. Please, I hope She-Venom returns as she was FINE! And maybe if there’s some deals can be worked out. We can get a cameo from a few people in the MCU where they ask Venom and She-Venom to be part of the Avengers.
There are several Spidey teases scattered throughout the trailer. I think the melding of the two is all but inevitable.

Serkis looks like he’s leaning hard into the camp which I am absolutely here for.
I think I will like it in moderation. Carnage’s story is a really dark and violent one. I hope they nail that part.
Youi mean inflicting one of these on the movie going public wasn’t enough? The first one was such a misbegotten ill-conceived mess there is zero chance I watch this one. But have fun.
I hope I will. Carnage is such a brutally vicious character. I just hope they aren’t making it too light-hearted.
I’m in for this, I liked the first one.
I liked the first one but didn’t love it how I hoped. It still has me anxious for a sequel, especially with the introduction of Carnage!
I think I’ll cope, Tom Hardy is one of my faves. 🙂
Love Hardy. I’m with ya.
