Today, Sony debuted the long-anticipated official trailer for ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage,’ the second movie featuring Spider-Man’s nemesis as the leading character. The trailer opens with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock, getting along with his new “roommate” — the tar-colored alien parasite that lives inside him and can envelop him completely, giving him massive power. While Eddie gets his day started, his “partner” cooks a messy, massive breakfast for the both of them. Venom’s tentacles are busy both prepping food and turning up the classic song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” for it to sing along to. Brock’s “secret” is apparently welcomed by the deli owner they saved in the original as they both warmly greet her as Eddie goes about his day.
But, as a scene in the first film teased, there is a new menace growing. Woody Harrelson’s death row inmate, Cletus Kasady, has been following Eddie’s career as a journalist and an avenging superhero. However, when Kasady faces his death by lethal injection, it doesn’t go as planned. His own alien parasite, called Carnage, is unleashed, setting up a face-off between it and Eddie’s own creature. The trailer mimics the black comedy tone of the original Marvel comic and builds on the 2018 original, which made more than $856 million worldwide. The Andy Serkis-directed superhero film is intended to be the second entry in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, which serves as a counterpart to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ will open in theaters on September 24th of this year.
