The highlight of the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer<\/a> was the symbiote taking over a horse, which… isn’t exactly high praise. In the just-released second preview, however, things are looking more intriguing and unexpectedly high-stakes.<\/p>\n

We already knew that the third Venom movie was meant to be the ‘end of the line’ for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and the chatty Venom symbiote unless some sort of very half-assed crossover event movie happens with Morbius, Kraven, and whatnot. The first trailer also introduced Chiwetel Ejiofor as a military-type and Juno Temple as a scientist both trying to hunt down and understand the symbiote just as a major invasion hits Earth. Now, the plot is getting a bit more complicated.<\/p>\n

One major complaint about the two Venom movies released so far, which have done really well at the box office<\/a> despite the middling critical receptions<\/a>, was that they lacked compelling-enough villains or threats that went beyond just another guy wearing a symbiote in a different colour. Sure, Carnage is a big villain from the comic books, but he was wasted alongside Woody Harrelson’s Cletus Kassady. Now, in the final stretch, the creatives and producers behind the saga are raising the stakes by bringing Knull, the god and creator of all the hungry symbiotes, into the fold.<\/p>\n
