‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Trailer Unleashes Even More, Well, Carnage
I’m still not entirely sure how the firstVenommovie went on to become such a runaway smash hit in 2018, but it absolutely did and now we have to deal with the consequences. The biggest of those consequences, namely, is the existence of an even more self-aware (and simplyincrediblytitled) sequel,Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which doubles down on the meme-worthyTom Hardyantics that folks just couldn’t get enough of the first time around.Sonyjust released the second official trailer, which you’re able to help cure your own Monday blues by viewing for yourself below.

You just knew they were going to drop a slowed-down and melancholy cover of Three Dog Night’s “One Is The Loneliest Number” on us, didn’t you? We didn’t really know what to expect upon hearing that mo-cap actor extraordinaire and sometimes-filmmakerAndy Serkis, of all people, would be taking over for director Ruben Fleischer and stepping behind the camera for the sequel. The film doesn’t seem to be skipping a single beat, however, asLet There Be Carnagelooks even more packed full of gruesome symbiote-on-human violence and action galore than the first movie featured.
InVenom, Hardy’s Eddie Brock managed to get himself bonded with the extraterrestrial symbiote Venom and go on to become the shockingly popular antihero — even without any overt cinematic connections to Spider-Man, who his origin is inextricably linked to in the comics. A post-credits scene teased the upcoming appearance ofWoody Harrelsonin a simply awful-looking wig and his downright Hannibal Lecter-like serial killer Cletus Kasady is now front-and-center of the action here, though the sequel is sadly pretending that his hair-related hijinks simply never happened. For shame, honestly.
