    Leaked ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Featurette Includes New Footage

    Sony seems to be facing quite a few leaking pipes. There have been countless rumors surrounding the upcoming release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film’s new costumes leaked three weeks ago and there is still no trailer in sight. It looks like even their other new Spider-Verse entry, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, could avoid something leaking. YouTube channel Movies Basket shared the featurette that includes new footage.

    In it, Woody Harrelson discusses the surprise of how comedic the film would end up being. The film’s director Andy Serkis also highlights how important the “old couple” dynamic is between Eddie and the Venom symbiote. The inclusion of Carnage also promises a much darker film, which might not see the two get out of it scot-free. It’s great that Serkis built upon the highlight from the first film and the new footage promises quite a bit more.

    The first trailer already teased their returning dynamic, as Venom made quite a rich breakfast. It’ll be interesting to see if Carnage will act as a more serious counterpart to our main duo. Sony also has the Mobius film on the horizon with Jared Leto in the lead. The film was pushed back quite frequently throughout the pandemic and it is surprising that we got more leaks out of the other two properties. Still, Venom‘s sequel looks promising and they nailed Carnage’s design. f course, it would’ve been nice if they were more directly connected to Spider-Man but there is always a chance their paths will cross. Sony seems very focused on making that a reality.

  • ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’: Tom Hardy Helped Develop the Marvel Sequel’s Story

    ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’: Tom Hardy Helped Develop the Marvel Sequel’s Story

    Marvel Studios has been busy working on their Spider-Man threequel. Of course, Sony isn’t only banking on one franchise as they expanded other ones based on Spidey’s famous rogue’s gallery. Kraven the Hunter is getting a film in 2023, which has recently added former Quicksilver Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the titular role.

    That is not all, as we have the live-action adaptation of Morbius heading our way and the highly-anticipated Venom sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage. We recently got our first look at the latter’s story that’ll see the introduction of Carnage. It looks like Eddie Brock himself, Tom Hardy, had a hand in conceptualizing the sequel. In an interview with Empire, Marcel revealed that:

    This is new for him, to get credit but it’s not new for him to be this involved. He’s absolutely 100 per cent committed to everything that he does. He’s married to Venom. He loves this character. He’s very involved in what he thinks should happen.

    She continues to get the screenplay credit, but she revealed that most of the story got mapped out alongside Hardy for months before she focused on the script for around three months. Most of their discussions took place over FaceTime, where they would brainstorm and test out ideas. It’s great to see him get this involved, as it also shows his enjoyment of bringing the symbiote to life. He won’t be the only one this time around, as Woody Harrelson will bring Cletus Cassady to life. He’ll become the host for Carnage, who will be the film’s main antagonist. There are rumors of a second trailer heading our way, which may offer more insight into the film’s story.

  • ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Funko Offers Better Look at Carnage’s Design

    ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Funko Offers Better Look at Carnage’s Design

    After a long wait, the first trailer for Venom: Let There Carnage hs finally dropped online. It continued where the original left off, as Tom Hardy‘s Eddie Brock lives his life alongside the symbiote. We also got a new look at Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady. The mad man would eventually combine with a symbiote to form Carnage. We got a few good looks at the symbiote throughout the trailer, but as they are still working on the effects, they have kept him in the shadow. It seemed as if they muted his classic red coloring, but the newly revealed Funko Pops may have given us the best look yet.

    The trailer’s muted colors didn’t quite offer a great look at the newly formed symbiote. Luckily, the Funko Pops confirms that he will be mostly red with black tendrils mixed in. The design seems strongly inspired by his time in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, where it was an artificial creature created by Dr. Curtis Conners with the help of Peter Parker’s DNA. Of course, in that run, the character wasn’t taken over by Cletus Kasady. The story that was hinted at seems to take a lot of inspiration from the Maximum Carnage run, as it also includes the character of Shriek.

  • ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Director Andy Serkis Opens Up About Potential MCU Connections

    ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Director Andy Serkis Opens Up About Potential MCU Connections

    Sony’s ever-expanding Spider-Man franchise is starting to expand. They have the cooperation with Marvel Studios, which allowed Tom Holland‘s version of the character to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Into the Spider-Verse created its own animated universe with a multitude of webheads. Now, we also have the additional live-action Venom franchise, which seems far removed from the MCU even though Morbius‘ first trailer included a direct reference with the inclusion of Michael Keaton. So, we’ve been wondering if Sony and Marvel struck a deal that their expanded compendium will also be part of the franchise. Well, it seems that Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis offered some insight during a trailer breakdown for IGN.

    Obviously, there are links between Venom and Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe and the Spider-Man story. We’re treating this very much as it’s his own world. The Venom story is his own world. There are nods and little moments [like the shot of the newspaper the Daily Bugle], of course, but on the whole, he’s unaware. They are unaware, at this point, of other characters like Spider-Man. So, that’s the way we’ve chosen to play this particular episode of the movie, but, well, we’ll wait and see. We’ll see what little things you can pick out of it.

    In a way, he continues to keep the door open if Tom Hardy‘s Venom could eventually become part of the MCU. The referenced newspaper includes words that seem to spell out “Avengers” which is printed on a Sam Raimi era Daily Bugle newspaper. We’ve had this confusion before when Morbius included references to the MCU version of Spider-Man, but also included a mural of his 2002 film. “Murderer” sprayed over it would imply the film takes place after Spider-Man: Far From Home. For now, the connections remain vague until we get a clearer picture of where or if the franchise takes place in the wider MCU.
