The first introduction to Venom as we know it happened during the Secret Wars comic book mini-series in the 80’s. We knew that Spiderman had acquired a new costume but we did not know that the potential for an anti-hero was lying underneath the surface. When Venom was finally unleashed everyone wondered when we would see him on the big screen. We got that wish during Spiderman 3 but the results were utterly disappointing. The folks over at Sony have come up with a trailer for their new Venom movie and this time we actually get to not only hear but see him as well!

The main character is a reporter known as Eddie Brock who is doing an expose on the Life Foundation. This is coming up as the most vulnerable are being submitted for tests that they may not survive. The latest tests involve some sort of alien life form known as a Symbiote. The Symbiote needs a human host and cannot survive without it. Once Mr. Brock is exposed to this creature he starts to hear voices in his head. Believe it or not the voice as well as Eddie Brock are being portrayed by the same person: the one and only Tom Hardy.

The rest of the trailer shows a lot of action including Eddie using his newfound powers to take out people who are intent on harming him. One of the most creative uses of his powers is using the tendrils to grab back onto a bike that he has fallen off of during an extremely high jump. At the end of the trailer we actually get a first look at Venom and I have to say that I am a little concerned. The Venom in the trailer looks a bit over the top cartoonish as it is also wet (and I don’t remember Venom having a wet look to him in the comics.) However, I do want to see this film and I am excited for its release

What did you think of the trailer and are you excited for this movie? Let us know!
