Venom: Let There Be Carnage is just a couple of weeks away from arriving in theaters, and a new banner for the movie has now been revealed by Sony Pictures (via @thevenomsite).
As you can see, it once again uses that familiar piece of imagery featuring half of Venom's "face" and half of Eddie Brock's, but also applies it to Cletus Kasady and Carnage. There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding the live-action debut of that villain, and it's definitely looking like he'll be every bit as brutal as his comic book counterpart if the trailers are anything to go by.
While the box office continues to take a hit thanks to COVID-19, early projections for the Venom sequel are pretty solid, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has also overperformed during this "pandemic era." With that in mind, there's a good chance this movie is going to be a success.
"Tom Hardy returns to the big screen as the lethal protector Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters," reads a brief synopsis that was released on the movie's website (where you can now purchase tickets for the movie). "Directed by Andy Serkis, the film also stars Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris and Woody Harrelson, in the role of the villain Cletus Kasady/Carnage."
We recently caught up with Andy Serkis to discuss his work on the sequel, so be sure to keep checking back here for that interview - and our review - in the coming weeks (and yes, we talked Spider-Man).
As noted, Venom: Let There Be Carnage stars Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham, and Woody Harrelson. It's set to be released in theaters on October 1, 2021.
