‘Venom 2’ First Images Reveal the Carnage in All His Crazy Glory
Venom has to be one of the most improbable blockbusters of recent years. It’s a Spider-Man spinoff in which Spider-Man does not appear and is never even discussed, about a character who is an anti-hero at best and a sadistic killer at worst. He shares his body with a bloodthirsty alien who enjoys biting the heads off people and eating them. Total worldwide box office: $856 million! Sure, makes sense.
Whatever the reason, Venom really did become a huge hit, and now after some Covid-related delays, he’s back with a sequel. Venom: Let There Be Carnage builds off the post-credits scene from the original movie, and brings the evil symbiote Carnage (played by Woody Harrelson) into the story. The first trailer for the film just hit the internet, and it looks suitably deranged. Along with it, Sony has shared the first official images from the set. There’s Venom looking even toothier than before, Carnage with a million red tendrils, and Hardy working with Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s director Andy Serkis.

In case you missed it, here’s that new trailer as well.
