Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s New Trailer Wants to Slip You Some Tongue

Cletus’ symbiote “infection” comes by way of him guzzling a mouthful of Eddie’s blood straight from his arm in a move Morbius would likely be pleased with. The vampire parallels seem to end after Cletus’ bite, though, as he transforms into Carnage, breaks free from prison, and gets himself some new threads

Aside from Carnage, the trailer also spotlights a number of comedic moments between Eddie and Venom himself, along with some glimpses of Naomi Harris’ Shriek, whose ability to manipulate sound is almost certainly going to end up playing a major role in whether Venom or Carnage make it out of the movie alive. It’s interesting to see a Venom film pulling together so many bits of the character’s lore together in a cohesive way at a time when Spider-Man, arguably the most important part of the larger Venom puzzle, is quite busy off in another universe that’s recently fragmented into a fresh multiverse.

One can’t help but wonder what if this is all, perhaps, building to the big Spider-Man/Venom showdown that fans have been clamoring for since the webhead first swung into the MCU, or if this is just Sony benefitting from the buzz surrounding a particularly valuable chunk of IP it happens to own. There very well could be more surprises up Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s sleeve when it hits theaters on September 24, 2021, but even if there aren’t, it’s already looking like a solid return to mayhem.
