I can’t say I was a huge fan of Venom, and after watching the first trailer for its sequel, I’m still non-plussed. Venom: Let There Be Carnage sees Tom Hardy return as Eddie Brock/Venom, a mild-mannered journalist who also happens to play host to an alien symbiote. This time around he’s set to battle arch-villain Cletus Kasady/Carnage, played by Woody Harrelson with a laughable red wig. Check out the trailer below.

As you can see, Venom 2 looks likely to dish up more of the same superhero madness. Hardy continues his long-running fascination with using strange voices while I must admit, the special effects do look mint. As far as the plot goes, there’s yet to be any information revealed, bar the obvious. While there was hope of a Spider-man crossover, this looks unlikely, with the film seemingly focusing on Venom having to takedown Carnage.
