VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE Poster Sees Venom Trying To Snatch Victory From (Carnage's) Jaws Of Defeat

Following that crazy trailer for the movie, Sony Pictures has released the first poster for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and it sees the anti-hero trying to snatch victory from (Carnage's) jaws of defeat.

Well, we've had a pretty bonkers first trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, so it only seems right that it'd be followed by a poster for Sony Pictures' upcoming Marvel Comics adaptation. 

It appears opinions are split on this one so far, which is no great surprise when 2018's Venom seemed to be either loved or hated by most fans. It made an absolute killing (Carnage would be proud) at the box office, though, so the franchise is moving forward with this unique take on the titular symbiote. 

As for this poster, it gives Tom Hardy's Venom the spotlight, but we get to see things from Cletus Kasady's point of view as he opens his jaws and attempts to take a bite out of his dear 'ol dad. Well, that was the relationship between Venom and Carnage in the comic books - whether that' will be the case on the big screen remains to be seen. They definitely don't like each other, though!

"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"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. 
 


We also have an alternate Chinese poster for Venom: Let There Be Carnage:

The first one is actually pretty clever in my opinion.

Also like how they just put 'coming soon' on the poster. Just in case it moves again.

Poster is way better than the trailer, that's for sure

I wonder if they’re going to kill Carnage in this one? I’m leaning towards no. And it’s because Carnage and Woody Harrelson are better known that Riot and Riz Ahmed are.

@WruceBayne - I hear you. And I hope they don't kill Carnage. But like the comics, I always found it kind of weird that a completely psychotic murderer like Cletus Kassady would just lay low and not be out killing people if he survives. I suppose they could figure out a way to separate the Carnage symbiote from Cletus and then apprehend him.

WruceBayne - 5/10/2021, 7:11 AM
@CorndogBurglar - or they might be able to contain them both. I just think that Carnage could be used in a larger capacity than just one movie.

@WruceBayne - Nah, Spiderman is going to prevent Eddy from Killing him, and they are going to put him in the Raft.

@Dacci - I don’t think the Spider-man crossover will happen until AFTER the multiverse world melding event of No Way Home takes place. I think Cletus is going back to Ravencroft... where we’ll probably see another villain cameo.
Dacci
Dacci - 5/10/2021, 7:38 AM
@WruceBayne - you are probably right. However, there is a lot of scuttlebutt that Holland Cameos. The trailer also shows Cletus smashing a spider, and the newspaper mentions the Avengers...so who knows?
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 5/10/2021, 7:55 AM
@Dacci - I missed that Avengers mention. I need to watch that trailer again. You might be right though.
Do you think Venom will get his spider insignia on his chest this time around?

We could be four movies (I think) into Marvel’s Phase Four, but instead we have to settle for Turd in the Wind: Part Two. We must have done something to make the comic book movie gods hate us....

@WeaponXCII - COVID happened. And Marvel not wanting to put their MCU movies on Disney+. So now we're stuck waiting for cinemas to start pulling in big crowds again before Marvel releases Black Widow.

@WeaponXCII - I’m curious to know what Marvels original timeline was before Covid happened. I’m guessing we should have Black Widow, Eternals, Shang Chi by now? What else?

@CorndogBurglar - Fortunately, we won't be waiting too much longer.

@Frshcoupe - Multiverse of Madness was in there, too.

With all the hate for the first one. I'm still amazed at how much the Venom made $856,085,151 at the box office.

Looking forward to the film mostly cause I like Venom and Carnage, but damn they need to do a better job promoting this thing.

Ok, I think this franchise can be saved. Didn't hate, but didn't love the first one. Yeah, tons of liberties - I mean, the raw lobster scene alone is just gross. And the overall plot - so over played. But, I think Hardy sells it. I think Harrelson can sell it, but by GOD I hope they do something different with his hair. That post credit scene was god awful not to mention seemed like so much of an after thought (how did he get enough blood to write anything in a cell with nothing in it? Took a lot of tongue biting, maybe?)

Anyway, high hopes with low expectations, but you bet my a$$ will be in the theater to see it. Maybe not on opening weekend, but some movies you just need to see in that type of setting. Especially since I don't have a home theater...

AgentSmith - 5/10/2021, 7:20 AM
@AgentSmith - Obvi - I didn't see the trailer. Now that I have, much better decision making on the hair - LOL. Loved the smashed spider nod. I think they can't kill Carnage though - they have to leave it open for a full Spider-man movie, right? I mean, right???

I don’t get the hate with this official poster - it looks pretty damn cool to me! It’s fun and interesting compared to the typical poster platform with all the characters towering over each other with a backdrop.

I’m sure Sony will release that generic type of poster later with a picture of SF in the background but for now this is rad.

I only wish they made Venom less slimy and gave him the spider symbol even if story-wise it makes no sense.

Honestly looks better than 90% of the MCU posters out there. That recent Shang-Chi one, as an example, is the definition of bland.

CBM's in general gotta step up their poster game, recreate some classic comic book covers or something. Remember when they did a rendition of Amazing Fantasy #15 for Homecoming? Now that was cool!
