Due to the coronavirus global pandemic, It’s no surprise that most movies have been either pushed back a few months or even an entire year. But when those films were already set to drop later in this year it’s a little bit surprising.

“VENOM:LET THERE BE CARNAGE,” the sequel to Sony’s 2018 superhero blockbuster, has now delayed its big screen debut. The Tom Hardy starring sequel was expected to hit theaters Oct. 2, 2020 but now will instead launch eight months later on June 25, 2021.

This may not be a bad move for the movie. Granted the original VENOM debuted in October and the sequel was following suit. This now allows for  the film to be amongst the summer blockbuster list of 2021.

Andy Serkis takes over the directing chair from Ruben Fleischer for the follow-up to “VENOM,” which sees Tom Hardy once again bond with the alien symbiote known as Venom. The sequel will also feature the return of  Michelle Williams and added on will b, Reid Scott, Naomie Harris and Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kassidy aka Carnage.

Following the success of Sony’s Venom, it seems it’s a safe bet to say that ALL systems are go on the sequel.

(SPOILER ALERT!!)

At the end of Venom, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy Hardy) goes to San Quentin prison to interview serial killer Cleatus Kassidy played by Woody Harrelson utters the line,  “There will be Carnage”. Which was followed by a sadistic grin and laugh.

This poster was released showing Harrelson covered in half of his iconic red symbiote similar to that of Brock’s and it honestly is extremely exciting.

We are a little over three weeks away from Spider-Man’s arch nemesis making his solo film debut on the big screen in VENOM. The promotional game has gone into full gear on many different levels. We recently found out the official rating for the film, PG-13, which surprised and upset some fans knowing the nature of the character and the dark gritty look of the film. Add to this tv spots and billboards popping up all that is left is to witness the film itself.

This however is not before we get one more good promo poster. This one features Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) standing between, Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) and Anne Weyling (Michelle Williams) with the anti-hero himself eclipsing them all.

What do you think about the poster? Does it pump up your anticipation for the movie.

Sony is running as well in the race to get people more hyped for next week’s San Diego Comic con. They have released a new look at Venom from their upcoming film.of the same name starring Tom Hardy.

Many people were skeptical as to how the Spider-Man anti-hero would look in his first solo film,after a bad taste with Sam Raimi’s version in Spider-Man 3. Then we were all treated to the trailer which showed the last 5 seconds of the alien symbiote covering Eddie Brock and spouting the popular phrase “We Are Venom”. Still some had hesitation and didn’t think it was an accurate depiction.

Hopefully this time around more critics will change their tunes. In this new still thank to Entertainment Weekly, we get what seems to be a pretty comic book accurate look of the sometimes Spider-Man foe. Check.it out and let us know what you think.
