Expect the latest Venom trailer to be heavy on bad guys when it lands online Tuesday morning.
What’s in a movie preview these days? When it comes to a Venom trailer, potentially a whole lot.
If it’s possible for a movie to have a roller coaster ride of fan perception before it’s even released, Venom has been riding it. The initial teaser was heavily criticized for not, you know, actually showing Venom and feeling way too much like a generic thriller or horror movie. Then the pendulum swung a bit back the other way for the first trailer, with fans thinking that maybe a movie that divorced the anti-hero from Spider-Man could actually work (though maybe it would help if people in it pronounced the word “symbiote” the way it should he spoken).
That means there is a lot riding on the second full-length Venom trailer, which arrives Tuesday, July 31. But when, exactly?
Here’s your answer, which came to us via CBR:
Sorry West Coast, you’re going to have to get up early for this one.
The other thing we took from CBR is that this trailer should give us more of a look at the villains of Venom, who figure to be symbiote-powered themselves. Here’s an additional thought: There have been rumors of both Carnage and Peter Parker appearances. Wouldn’t it make some sense for a movie like this that needs as much advance buzz as possible to at least hint at those in the second full-length trailer?
We think so. In any case, we’ll be on hand to talk about the new Venom trailer right after it lands at 9:00 a.m. ET, so be sure to come back and visit us after you’ve watched it a time or two.
