Sony Pictures Entertainment have released the teaser trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel to 2018’s Venom movie:
Set to Three Dog Night’s “One,” the trailer picks up with Tom Hardy’s haggard journalist Eddie Brock, and his ravenous symbiote, as they continue their awkward double act in San Francisco. It is narrated by and reintroduces Woody Harrelson as serial killer Cletus Kasady, who appears to turn into Venom’s titular red nemesis after an execution by lethal injection goes unexpectedly awry.
It also offers glimpses of Naomie Harris as Kasady’s love interest Shriek; Stephen Graham as Mulligan, a cop relying on Brock to expose Kasady’s secrets; and the return of Michelle Williams as Eddie’s ex-fiancée Anne Weying. The trailer ends on a trademark darkly comedic note, with Eddie reminding Venom he cannot eat Peggy Lu’s convenience store owner Mrs. Chen, after she informs him the chocolate he deeply craves hasn’t arrived yet.
Directed by Andy Serkis, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is currently set to release in theaters on September 24, 2021. It will be followed by the Sony/Marvel Studios co-production Spider-Man: No Way Home on December 17, and the Morbius movie starring Jared Leto on January 28, 2022. In the meantime, be sure to check out Serkis’s exclusive breakdown at IGN, and the teaser poster, depicting events from Carnage’s maw’s point-of-view:
