Check Out the Trailer for the New Marvel Associated Movie ‘Venom’

Venom
Sony Pictures

This weekend the masses will go see what happens when Earth’s mightiest heroes meet Thanos in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. It will be Marvel Studio’s 19th film in a decade, the second of three planned releases for 2018. No one can stop the house of mouse and their super hero division. Sony was a studio that at one time ruled over the comic book world. Sam Raimi’s Spider-man films were huge successes (mostly). However the 2010’s haven’t been kind to the Japanese media giant and their working on finding their place in this landscape. Their spider-man reboots had diminishing returns. The sinisters six & Black Cat/Silver Sable films are currently languishing indevelopments. The final insult was that last year Marvel’s prodigal son returned home in ‘Spider-man: Homecoming’ and found a renewed success.

But Sony is back & ready to re-enter the comic space with their own spider-man spinoff. Their ready to once again reveal Eddie Brock & Venom to the world. We already had a teaser for the new film a month ago. It was annoyingly vague. Tom Hardy’s accent seemed like an interesting choice and we didn’t get a look at Brock in all his symbiotic glory. That has all changed with this new trailer. Check it out below:

It definitely shows us Venom this time around. Although i’m nervous we’ll all be disappointed with the lack of full on symbiote suit in the final film. They’re suggesting a horrific atmosphere at times in this trailer and I think the marriage of horror and superhero could be a ton of fun. There’s good talent involved so hopefully this is just a case of bad trailers for a good film. At the very least we’ll all love the inevitable post-credit sequence that teases ‘Maximum Carnage’.

I also really love how this says “In association with Marvel” at the start of the trailer. It’s a lovely touch that shows Marvel is keeping this film at an arm’s distance and already preparing to forget this spin-off that can’t acknowledge what it’s spinning off from was a thing that happened. Venom opens on October 5, 2018 and stars Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Woody Harrelson & Jenny Slate.

Are you excited for Venom? Do you think the film can work without acknowledging Spider-man? What is Tom Hardy’s accent? let us know in the comments and be sure to checkout our homepage and follow us on Facebook & Twitter.  Always check back with Boom Howdy for more movie news, reviews & podcasts!
