Sony unveils second trailer of ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’
The film once again stars Hardy as Eddie Brock, a journalist who has an alien symbiote living within him. Together, they are Venom.
Sony Pictures Entertainment released the second highly-anticipated trailer of their most-awaited film Venom: Let there be Carnage and it was all about Tom Hardy vs Woody Harrelson in the new official trailer. The film once again stars Hardy as Eddie Brock, a journalist who has an alien symbiote living within him. Together, they are Venom.
This time around, Harrelson is also starring, after the actor portrayed serial killer Cletus Kasady in the post-credits scene for the first Venom, released in 2018. The new movie will see Harrellson’s Kasady transform into Carnage, a villain known as Venom’s chief antagonist in the comics.
The trailer hints that Cletus acquires his symbiote by chomping on Eddie’s hand and tasting his symbiote-infused blood, but there might be more to it than that. Viewers also catch a few glimpses of Shriek (Naomie Harris), who has sonic-scream powers and is Kasady’s girlfriend in the comics.
Even though Venom started out as a Spider-Man villain in the comics, the symbiote first appeared as Spidey’s stylish black costume. The first movie wasn’t connected to the wallcrawler or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The previous trailer suggested deeper links to elements from Spidey comics, and the season finale of a recent MCU TV series opens the door for a crossover.
Andy Serkis has directed Venom: Let There be Carnage. This Columbia Pictures film, in association with Marvel and Tencent Pictures, also stars Michelle Williams, Reid Scott and Naomie. The film is produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal and Hutch Parker.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is due to release in theatres on September 24.
