With Venom: Let There Be Carnage arriving, now is the perfect time to revisit the first Venom movie or to check it out for the first time. The second Tom Hardy-fronted Sony movie continues directly from where the first film left off. A mid-credits teaser introduced Woody Harrelson’s antagonist for the sequel: Cletus Kasady, the host of violent psychopathic symbiote Carnage.
Venom (2018) follows Eddie Brock (Hardy), a hard-hitting investigative journalist who isn’t afraid of tackling big businesses and public figures. His quest to take on Carlton Drake, the CEO of Life Foundation, a company seeking ways to live in space, leads to the loss of his job and his fiancée. When he gets a tip, he can’t help investigating further and ends up coming into contact with the alien symbiote Venom.
Venom’s sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is directed by Andy Serkis. The movie sees the return of Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, and Reid Scott in their roles from the first film (as well as Woody Harrelson reprising his previous cameo). The movie continues to follow Eddie and Venom’s bonding in the wake of Cletus Kasady’s escape from prison while bonded to another symbiote: Carnage.
While Venom is a Marvel property, it is one of the IPs that Sony still holds the rights to and is part of their development of a larger Sony Spiderverse. This means that the movie is not available on Disney+. Venom is also not available with Netflix or Hulu subscriptions. Unfortunately, it is currently only available for rent or purchase for online viewing and can be found through Amazon, iTunes, YouTube, and other digital media platforms. Right now, there don’t seem to be any plans to add the movie to be included in any standard monthly subscription packages.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic delaying movies, many large films such as Black Widow and The Suicide Squad were made immediately available through streaming platforms like Disney+ or HBO Max. While this model sometimes came with a premium charge, it allowed audiences to view brand new blockbuster movies from the safety of their own homes. However, studios are now moving away from that system, and after the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ theatrical release, it is unlikely that large releases will return to same-day streaming in the future.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will only be available in theaters on its October 1 release date (a date that was changed multiple times because of the pandemic). For those not ready to see how Venom: Let There Be Carnage's box office success will pan out in theaters and without access to a drive-in, there might not be too long to wait. Studios are still looking at reducing the time between theatrical and streaming releases as a response to the pandemic, so while there is no date set for the movie to come to streaming, it might yet become available before the next Sony Spiderverse movie, Morbius, releases in January 2022.
