The first trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage generated a lot of discussion online, particularly when it comes to the live-action debut of Cletus Kasady. While it's definitely a relief to see Woody Harrelson in a vastly more convincing wig, the symbiote doesn't exactly look like he's stepped straight out of the pages of the comic books.
That was to be expected given the similarities between Carnage and Venom's Riot, but the villain's aesthetic still works well enough in this corner of the SPUMC (Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters).
Now, some newly revealed merchandise for Venom: Let There Be Carnage has found its way online, and if offers up a fresh look at the alter-egos of both Eddie Brock and Cletus. They do look pretty similar here, but the fact that this is finding its way out into the world hopefully means we'll see a lot more from Andy Serkis' movie over the summer.
Before we get to that, though, it would be nice to see that Spider-Man: No Way Home teaser!
"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 newly launched website last month. "Directed by Andy Serkis, the film also stars Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris and Woody Harrelson, in the role of the villain Cletus Kasady/Carnage."
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 globally this September.
