Sony’s Venom swings into CinemaCon with a brand new trailer

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Back in early February, Sony released a teaser trailer for their highly-anticipated Spider-Man spinoff film VENOM starring Tom Hardy, Upon laying eyes on the footage, both fans and critics alike were … um, let's just go with the word "underwhelmed," by what they'd seen. After failing to sell an already questionable launch to Sony's plans for their Spider-verse series of films, the studio has chosen CinemaCon 2018 as the place to debut a brand new trailer for the upcoming comic book action movie. On Sunday, Hardy confirmed that a new trailer would be shown in front of a live CinemaCon audience on Monday night, and so, here we are!

Directed by ZOMBIELAND's Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel, VENOM is said to be drawing inspiration from two comic book storylines – Lethal Protector and Planet of the Symbiotes. A few weeks ago, rumors began circulating that Woody Harrelson would appear in the film as the villain Carnage, with Riz Ahmed in-line to play the main antagonist. While no official plot details have been revealed, we at least have a brand new trailer to keep us all interested, right?
