I'd imagine most of the action scenes involve CGI, due to Venom, Carnage, and whoever else all the symbiote monsters are... fit a fairly generic human story around that with some generic set pieces, and nah, this makes sense.

Whether or not it bodes WELL for the film... well, that's a different matter!

True... this might be like that movie "Frank," that was "starring" Michael Fassbender.

Spoiler:

Trailer supposedly drops tomorrow

[Spike Spiegel]

I'd imagine the blond lady at 0:38 is supposed to be Brock's wife Ann Weying? It also seems like they may have adapted the cancer storyline from the comics. Too early to tell regarding anything else.

It actually looks decent, despite this trailer's lack of Hardy in full costume.

You know fans are going to be disappointed when you release a “Venom” trailer without Venom.

Not salivating or curious. Disappointed and worried for the film.

Better get that knife and fork ready.

Still optimistic.

They finished shooting less than a month ago, didn't they? How were people expecting a CGI heavy monster?

The only shot of the trailer I thought was a little groan-worthy was the shot of the symbiote in the jar with the cliche "young rich evil white guy."

Other than that, I thought it was fine.

Kinda reminded me of the Logan teaser tbh. The very first one.

The expectation comes with the films title and the marketing hype leading up to this trailer.

It’s not the audience job to track when they finish filming and personally lower their expectations to match. Marketing needs to do a better job. Or wait. This if a film with an uphill battle to win fans over, due to Sony’s recent Spider-Man blunders and a lack of Spidey in this film (as far as we know).

For myself, I can say I’m still interested in the film but this probably lowered my anticipation rather than raise it. And it certainly doesn’t look like this trailer has won over the fan community online.

If I didn't know that Venom was a Spidey villain, I'd have NO IDEA this is a comic book movie.

Venom without Spiderman... Joker without Batman... Deadpool without chimichangas...

This is messed up.

[TurtleTitan97]

Not that impressed by the trailer either.

You know there has been tons of stories with Venom and Joker without their respective heroes right in fact I'm kind of hoping for more stand alone supervillian stories.

For me, it's the origin that makes things weird. I don't mind having a Venom story without Spider-Man. But a Venom origin story without Spider-Man is a much harder sell.

I actually think a stand-alone Black Cat movie would have made more sense than introducing Venom without a direct tie-in to Spider-man.

Venom doesn't need Spider-Man but that doesn't mean they can't mess it up, in fact I don't trust Sony too much on this one but I think I've mentioned both these things in this thread before.


As far as the trailer, I like the voice of Eddy Brock and I really hope they go full 90s Spider-Man with symbiote crazyness if it's Venom vs Carnage, it should be a CGi-fest and gritty for the sake of it just like in the 90s. Anything else from the Lethal Protector and it won't be fun, it needs to be different to succeed just like Logan and Deadpool were able to.

Venom's identity for so many people is that he copied Spider-man's powers and is forever jilted from being rejected by Parker. It's gonna be hard to develop his characterization without Spider-man being linked to the story.

The Black Cat movie is what Sony are shooting next.
