Sony has released the first full trailer for Venom. The teaser trailer had a good atmosphere to it, but we didn’t actually get to see Venom. Well, we’ve seen him now! There’s a lot about the trailer I like that Spider-Man 3 completely got wrong with the character, there’s also a few things about it that give me pause (not the least of which is that is NOT how I have been saying “symbiote” for 25 years). I like they establish Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) as a decent guy. I like that Venom is its own personality and that together they are a “we” entity. That’s very true to the comics. I love the look of the character. Some of the F/X seem a little off, but in a trailer six months out that’s tough to judge. It’s recently been reported that Woody Harrelson’s role in the film will be Carnage, but we’ll have to see when Venom hits theaters October 5, 2018.
