Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a 2021 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Venom, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel and Tencent Pictures. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the second film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe and the sequel to Venom (2018). The film is directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, based on a story she wrote with Tom Hardy who stars as Eddie Brock / Venom alongside Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham, and Woody Harrelson. In the film, Brock tries to reignite his career in journalism by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady (Harrelson), who becomes the host of the alien symbiote spawn of Venom, named Carnage.

Venom was intended to be the start of a new shared universe, and plans for a sequel began during production on the first film. Harrelson was cast to make a brief appearance as Kasady at the end of Venom with the intention of him becoming the villain Carnage in the sequel. Official work on the sequel began in January 2019, with Hardy and Harrelson confirmed to return along with Marcel as writer. Serkis was hired as director that August, partly due to his experience working with CGI and motion-capture technology which was an important part of portraying Venom and Carnage in the film. Filming took place at Leavesden Studios in England from November 2019 to February 2020, with additional filming in San Francisco in February. The title was announced in April 2020.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage had a screening for fans in London on September 14, 2021. It is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on October 1, 2021, after being delayed from an initial October 2020 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plot

Three years following the shuttle battle, Eddie Brock attempts to reignite his journalist career by creating a report on psychopathic serial killer Cletus Kasady, who awaits his death penalty and accepts only to speak with Eddie, whom he sees as his reflection. Cletus then bites Eddie's hand, tasting his blood and becomes suspicious while detective Mulligan angrily fails to find the remains of Kasady's victims, thus, he seeks Eddie's assistance.

Despite this, Brock leads a quiet pleaseant life as vigilante with Venom, which became recognized by the media and the people as a new hero yet Venom feels distraught with his relationship with Eddie who meets Ann, which recently became engaged to Dan. At Ravencroft, Cletus is executed before his victims' families, however, instead of dying, a red symbiote is infused with his body.

Cletus becomes the host of his symbiote Carnage, and, goes on a violent rampage across the prison facility, freeing the inmates and kills the guards including the warden. On his way out, Cletus encounters the prison cell of Shriek, to whom he feels romantic emotions.

He frees her, and as more guards arrive, she uses her sonic screams to assist Kasady, yet his symbiote suffers from her screams and he flees outside. Outside, Carnage completely destroys the guards and their helicopters, including the facility itself before he escapes.

A day after Kasady's destructive escape, Brock realizes the latter will come for him and agrees to meet with Mulligan in exchange of protection. However, Venom decides his action would imprison him, thus Venom leaves Eddie's body and escapes. Eddie meets with Mulligan, who interrogates him not only for Kasady's victims remains but on Venom's existence.

Cletus arrives to San Francisco, and, kills those who betrayed or turned him over to the police and goes on a rampage of robberies and violence. Mulligan is called out to capture Kasady, yet the police fails when Carnage destroys them. Mulligan escapes as well as Eddie, as he is afraid for his life. Venom finds his way to Ann, who asks on Eddie's whereabouts. Venom tells her he abandoned him due to Eddie assisting Mulligan, knowing it will cost with his imprisonment.

However, Ann encourages him to return to Eddie and she bonds with him again to find Brock, whose under heavy police guarding. Ann frees Eddie with Venom returning to his body, and they escape soon as police forces surround them. Mulligan sees it, and pursues after Venom. Kasady continues wreaking havoc across the city, killing many people in the process. Shriek arrives to see him, and she confesses for her love to him.

Venom senses Kasady and they find him while Shriek helps the latter against the police forces. Venom arrives to confront her, but he is subdued due to her sonic screams. After a battle, they defeat her, enraging Kasady who pursues Eddie into a church catherdal. Inside, Venom is scared soon as he learns that Kasady is hosting Carnage, telling Eddie that red symbiotes are more powerful. Cletus attacks Eddie, yet Venom returns soon as Eddie promises he will eat Kasady. Kasady tells Eddie that all he wants is to unleash Carnage upon the world.

The two battle each other brutally, and Carnage subdues Venom. However, Venom overpowers him and after a lengthy battle, Venom defeats Carnage and eats him and Kasady alive, killing them. After the battle, Shriek is arrested while Eddie thanks Ann who recently arrived at the scene. Mulligan arrives to arrest Eddie for murdering Kasady, yet he escapes into hiding.

In a post-credits scene; Eddie is hiding at a hotel room located somewhere in the United States. He later becomes Venom soon as they see a television report by J. Jonah Jameson on Spider-Man. Venom tells Eddie that the latter looks tasty and the screen turns to black.

Cast

  • Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom:
    An investigative journalist who is the host of an alien symbiote, Venom, that imbues him with super-human abilities.[3] Director Andy Serkis described Brock and Venom's relationship as being in the "Odd Couple stage" in the film, with Venom trapped in Brock's body and just wanting to be the "Lethal Protector" which distracts Brock from work and putting his life back together.[4]
  • Michelle Williams as Anne Weying: A district attorney and Brock's ex-fiancée.[5]
  • Naomie Harris as Frances Barrison / Shriek: Kasady's love interest,[6][7] whom Serkis described as a damaged soul who has been living in isolation and has a dark side to her.[4]
  • Reid Scott as Dan Lewis: A doctor and Weying's fiancé.[8]
  • Stephen Graham as Mulligan: A detective hoping to use Brock to find the remains of Kasady's murder victims.[4][7]
  • Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady / Carnage:
    A psychotic serial killer who becomes the host of another symbiote, Carnage.[9][10] While in prison, Kasady refuses to talk with anyone besides Brock, who he considers to be a kindred spirit. Kasady looks different compared to his appearance in the mid-credits scene of the first film, which Serkis said indicates the passage of time between films.[4]

Additionally, Peggy Lu reprises her role as convenience store owner Mrs. Chen from the first film.[11][12] Sean Delaney and Larry Olubamiwo have been cast in undisclosed roles.[13][14]

Jake Gyllenhaal, J. K. Simmons, and Tom Holland appear as Quentin Beck / Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, and Peter Parker / Spider-Man in a post-credits scene via archival footage and photographs from the mid-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).

Production

Development

During the long development of the 2018 film Venom, the character Carnage was expected to appear as an antagonist.[15][16] During pre-production on that film, the creative team decided not to include the character so they could focus on introducing the protagonists, Eddie Brock and Venom. Director Ruben Fleischer felt that leaving Venom's most formidable villain for a sequel would give the franchise a place to go and would be a natural next step, so Carnage's alter-ego Cletus Kasady was introduced in a mid-credits scene at the end of the first film with the intention of featuring him in a sequel. Fleischer wanted to cast Woody Harrelson in the role, feeling there was a natural connection between the character and Harrelson's performance in Natural Born Killers (1994), and asked Harrelson while the pair were discussing a sequel to their film Zombieland (2009). After meeting with Fleischer and Tom Hardy—who portrays Brock and Venom—for dinner, Harrelson agreed to take on the part.[10] Harrelson described his decision as a roll of the dice since he was unable to read a script for the sequel before signing on to the first film.[9] In August 2018, ahead of Venom's release, Hardy confirmed that he had signed on to star in two sequels.[3]

At the end of November 2018, Sony gave an October 2, 2020, release date to an untitled Marvel sequel that was believed to be Venom 2,[17][18] which would place the film in the same release timeframe as the first Venom;[17] box office analysts believed by then that Venom had been successful enough to guarantee a sequel would be made.[19] A month later, Venom writer Jeff Pinkner confirmed that a sequel was happening, but he was not involved in writing it at that point.[20] Fleischer reiterated this, saying that he could not discuss a sequel but he saw the first film as Brock and Venom "coming together. So there's a natural evolution from that to [a sequel where it is] like, okay, now what's it like to live together? It's like a bromantic sort of relationship."[21] In January, Kelly Marcel signed a "significant" deal with Sony to write and produce the sequel after also working on the script for the first film. This marked the official beginning of work on the film for the studio, and was revealed alongside confirmation of Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal returning as producers. Hardy and Harrelson were also expected to return for the sequel, along with Michelle Williams in the role of Brock's ex-fiancée Anne Weying. No director was confirmed for the film, with Sony considering replacing Fleischer due to his commitments to Zombieland: Double Tap (2019),[5] though he still intended to be involved in Venom 2.[22]

By the end of July 2019, Sony hoped for filming to begin that November and had met with several candidates to replace Fleischer as director since he was still completing work on Zombieland: Double Tap at that time;[23][24] directors the studio met with include Andy Serkis, Travis Knight, and Rupert Wyatt.[23] Sony was also interested in Rupert Sanders directing the film, but that "didn't work out".[25] Serkis confirmed at the start of August that he had discussed the project with Sony and it was "potentially something that might happen",[26] shortly before he was officially hired to direct the film. Serkis was hired partly due to his experience working with CGI and motion-capture technology as both an actor and director.[27] Soon after his hiring, Serkis said Hardy had been working closely with Marcel on the screenplay which was "centered around their take";[28] Marcel explained that she and Hardy spent months developing ideas for the film, which is the first time he received a story credit on a project, before she then spent three months writing the screenplay herself.[29] Fleischer said he was happy to let Serkis take over the franchise following the negative critical reaction that the first film received, believing reviewers had unfairly treated the "crowdpleasing movie", potentially due to biases against Sony and towards Marvel Studios' rival superhero films.[30] By the time Serkis was hired, Hutch Parker had joined the sequel as a producer. A friend of Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman, Parker previously served as a producer for several Marvel-based films produced by 20th Century Fox.[8][31]

Pre-production

In September 2019, Reid Scott was expected to reprise his role as Weying's boyfriend Dan Lewis from the first film.[8] The character Shriek was also expected to appear as the film's secondary villain and a love interest for Carnage. Many different actresses were looked at for the part,[32] before Naomie Harris was cast in the role in mid-October.[6][7] Stephen Graham had also joined the film, as Detective Mulligan, by the end of the year.[4][7] Tolmach said there was a chance the sequel could be rated R following the success of the R-rated Joker (2019), as well as previous successful R-rated comic book films such as Deadpool (2016) and Logan (2017). However, Tolmach cautioned that the PG-13 rating of the first Venom had led to box office success and they would not be looking to change the franchise's tone simply because it had worked for others;[33] the sequel ultimately received a PG-13 rating.[34] Tolmach said the biggest lesson learned from the first Venom was that fans loved the relationship between Brock and Venom, and the sequel would focus more on the two characters together because of this.[35] Chinese production company Tencent Pictures co-financed the sequel after previously doing the same for the first film.[36]

Filming

Principal photography began on November 15, 2019,[37] at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England, under the working title Fillmore.[38][39] Robert Richardson served as cinematographer for the film, reuniting with Serkis after they worked together on Breathe (2017).[40] Filming took place at the campus of London South Bank University in mid-January 2020.[41] Hardy revealed that filming in England was completed on February 8, with the production then moving to San Francisco where the film is set.[42] Location filming continued in that city for several weeks, taking place in several neighborhoods including the Tenderloin, North Beach, Nob Hill, and Potrero Hill. In Potrero Hill, the Anchor Brewery stood in for a police station, while filming in Nob Hill took place at Grace Cathedral on February 20 and 21. Filming also took place at the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District.[43]

Post-production

Post-production for the film began shortly before many film productions were forced to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Serkis beginning work editing the film in London with the editorial department. Once post-production had to be shut down, the film's editor returned to the United States and began working with Serkis remotely to finish editing the film.[44] Actor Sean Delaney revealed in early April 2020 that he had a "very small blink-and-you'll-miss-me role" in the sequel.[13]

Sony confirmed in April that the film was scheduled to be released on October 2, 2020, and was intended to keep that release date despite the pandemic.[13] Later that month, the studio moved the film's release to June 25, 2021, after that date became available due to other COVID-19 related delays. Sony also announced the film's title as Venom: Let There Be Carnage.[45] Serkis felt the delay would give more time to improve the film's visual effects, and would help ensure that audience members would be comfortable with going to see the film in theaters.[44] In March 2021, the film's release was moved back again to September 17, 2021,[46] and then moved a week later to September 24.[47] In August 2021, amidst SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant surges in the United States, the film was delayed again to October 15, 2021.[48] By the end of the month, Sony was reportedly considering delaying the film to Morbius's release date of January 21, 2022, following continued Delta variant surges and low box office returns for films released earlier in August.[49] Variety reported that the studio was not planning to move the film again at that time,[50] but Deadline Hollywood described plans to change the film's release date as "the worst kept secret in Hollywood". Following the box office success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in early September, Sony moved the film's release date forward two weeks to October 1.[51]

Serkis was excited to adapt the comic book version of Carnage for the screen, and explained that the symbiotes were designed to reflect their hosts, so he differentiated Venom and Carnage by reflecting Brock and Kasady, respectively, through their designs, abilities, and movements. Serkis worked with dancers and actors on a motion-capture stage to help define the movements of the two characters, and compared Venom to a quarterback who used brute force. For Carnage, Kasady's psychotic personality is shown through idiosyncratic and off-kilter movements, as well as being able to turn into mist and create "all manner of tendrils". Serkis compared fighting Carnage to fighting with an octopus.[4] In September 2021, Serkis confirmed the film's runtime being shorter than its predecessor, explaining that he wanted the film to be a "real thrill ride", not "hanging around too much exposition".[52]

Music

Marco Beltrami was revealed to be the composer for the film in December 2020, after previously composing for several Marvel-based films produced by Parker.[53] In September 2021, it was revealed that Eminem would be returning to compose a new song for the film, entitled “Last One Standing”, in collaboration with Skylar Grey, Polo G, and Mozzy.[54]

Marketing

After announcing the film's official title in April 2020, Sony also released a short teaser featuring the official logo for the film.[55] Many fans of the Venom comic books criticized the title, with some wondering why the comic book storyline title Maximum Carnage was not used.[56] Sam Barsanti of The A.V. Club also thought Maximum Carnage would have worked better, or even Venom 2, and negatively compared the official title to films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010).[57] /Film's Ethan Anderton acknowledged these criticisms, but felt it was a great title given the first film was "surprisingly goofy".[58] Vinnie Mancuso at Collider agreed, calling it "the perfect title for a beautifully stupid franchise". He said it suggested Sony "knows the kind of property it has on its hands".[59] Tom Reimann, also at Collider, described the teaser as Sony "proudly showing off the logo of the new film as if the title isn't completely insane".[55]

In March 2021, Serkis said a trailer for the film had not yet been released due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Sony waiting until audiences could see it in theaters.[60] The film's first trailer was released in May,[4] with Ryan Parker of The Hollywood Reporter describing it as "intense with some movements of levity". Parker highlighted Harrelson's improved wig compared to the first film,[61] as did Collider's Rafael Motamayor,[62] and Corey Chichizola at CinemaBlend. Chichizola praised Harrelson's performance and presence in the trailer, and expressed excitement at the brief shots of Venom and Carnage,[63] with Michael Kennedy of Screen Rant noting that the first trailer for Venom had received negative responses for not featuring Venom in it and this trailer avoided that problem by showing both of the sequel's symbiote characters.[64] A second trailer was released in August, with Sam Barsanti of The A. V. Club highlighting the expanded footage of Carnage as well as the continued focus on Brock and Venom's chemistry.[65] Lauren Massuda at Collider concurred with Barsanti on both points, and felt Harrison had "taken the spotlight" of the second trailer. Based on the trailers, Massuda felt the sequel appeared more intriguing and mature than the first film,[66] while Screen Rant's James Hunt opined that the sequel "already looks much better" than the first film in terms of tone, character, and visual effects.[67] On September 20, 2021, character posters for the film was released;[68] the following day, a silhouette of Anne Weying's "She-Venom" form in one of the posters was revealed to have been traced from fan art by DeviantArt artist spaceMAXmarine, originally published on October 9, 2018.[69]

Release

Theatrical

Venom: Let There Be Carnage had an early screening for fans in London on September 14, 2021,[70][71][72] and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on October 1, 2021[51] in Real D 3D and IMAX.[73][4] In August 2021, Sony and CJ 4DPlex announced a deal to release 15 of Sony's films over three years in the ScreenX format, starting with Let There Be Carnage.[74] The film was originally set for release in the U.S. on October 2, 2020.[13] It was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, moving to June 25, 2021,[45] September 17,[46] September 24,[47] and then October 15,[48] before being moved back up to October 1, due to the Labor Day box office success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).[51]

Home media

In April 2021, Sony signed a deal giving Disney access to their legacy content, including Marvel content in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, to stream on Disney+ and Hulu and appear on Disney's linear television networks. Disney's access to Sony's titles would come following their availability on Netflix.[75][76]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Venom: Let There Be Carnage will be released alongside The Many Saints of Newark and The Addams Family 2. While Sony is estimating a $40 million debut, box office analytics predict it could gross as much as $65 million in its opening weekend.[77][2]
