The new “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” trailer truly lives up to its name.
The long-awaited new, official trailer for “Venom: Let There
Be Carnage” dropped Monday, and it pits Tom Hardy against Woody Harrelson. A
sequel to the largely successful 2018 film “Venom,” which earned over $850
million at box offices worldwide, “Let There Be Carnage” is packed with CGI
superhero action.
In the film, investigative journalist Eddie Brock
(43-year-old Hardy) struggles to adapt to daily life after becoming the host of
Venom, an alien symbiote. Venom gives Brock super-human abilities and wants to
be the “Lethal Protector” who prevents Brock from getting his life back
together.
Brock interviews Cletus Kasady (Harrelson, 60), a serial
killer who becomes the host of another symbiote, Carnage, who escapes prison.
Kasady only speaks to Brock while in prison, but chaos ensues as the film
progresses.
In the opening moments of the trailer, Venom tells Brock,
“Eddie, we should be out there, snacking on bad guys,” a hint at Venom’s
overbearing influence on the journalist.
“Venom: Let There be Carnage” is the newest film by director
Andy Serkis, who had major acting roles in “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy
and the “Planet of the Apes” reboot series. The Columbia Pictures film, in
association with Marvel and Tencent Pictures, also stars Michelle Williams,
Reid Scott and Naomie Harris. Harrelson’s character was first teased in the
post-credits scene of the original film.
The trailer gives viewers the best look at Kasady and his
alter-ego Carnage, who is seen scaring Venom back into Eddie’s body. Viewers
also catch a glimpse of Eddie dealing with his ex-fiancée, Williams’ Anne
Weying, who becomes engaged to someone else.
Viewers also catch glimpses of Harris’ character Shriek, who
can manipulate sound and may play a major role in the Venom-Carnage feud.
The trailer has left many pondering whether the trailer is
building up to a possible Spider-Man/Venom showdown that fans have obsessed
about for years.
The movie was originally scheduled to release in cinemas
back on October 2, 2020, but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. “Let
There Be Carnage” was later moved back to June 25, 2021, then Sept. 17, 2021,
and finally to Sept. 24 in the United States.
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” will release in theaters —
and only in theaters — on Sept. 24.
