In a parallel Marvel universe, Tom Hardy is up to his normal antics in Venom 2

Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel to 2018’s hit antihero film Venom, has debuted its first trailer. Fans will be able to see the film ‘only in theatres,’ according to the teaser. The trailer pits Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock against Woody Harrelson’s Carnage. Carnage was teased in a post-credits scene in the first film, which defied critical acclaim to become one of the year’s biggest box office successes, grossing more than $850 million worldwide.

The trailer focuses Eddie’s friendship with the alien Symbiote that took over his body in the first film. It also depicts Cletus Casady’s transformation into Carnage, a horrific symbiotic killer.

Michelle Williams and Reid Scott reprise their roles in Venom 2. It’ll be released in September. It’s part of Sony’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, which also includes an upcoming Morbius film starring Jared Leto and may include bit parts from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
