Several months ago when the first Venom trailer from Sony was released, it didn’t really show us much of Venom, but rather it showed us more of Tom Hardy who plays as Eddie Brock in the movie. For those who are itching to see more of Venom, you’ll be pleased to learn that the second trailer is more than happy to oblige.
Sony has since released a new trailer for the upcoming movie and we get more glimpses of Venom in this one. While Venom is technically part of the Spiderverse, Sony’s movie carries a darker tone compared to the ones put out of Marvel, like in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing remains to be seen, but Tom Hardy’s movies have typically been well-received so perhaps this could work.
Venom is currently set for a release on the 5th of October, 2018 and like we said, while it is part of the Spiderverse, it has been suggested that Spider-Man might not be making an appearance in it. There have been speculation in the past that Spider-Man could make a cameo, but we’ll have to wait and see, although the tone of this movie would certainly make it clash a bit.
For now Spider-Man’s movie rights are still under Sony so it is unclear as to how this Venom movie will tie into future Spider-Man movies, or if it could exist separately.
