The trailer
for Tom Hardy’s ‘Venom 2’ has been released. The first trailer, released in
May, laid the basic groundwork for the sequel to 2018’s ‘Venom’, the latest
trailer shows Woody Harrelson in action as the film’s antagonist Carnage.

Hardy
portrays a journalist who has an alien symbiote living inside him and together
they are Venom. Carnage is Venom’s chief antagonist in the comics and is
another alien symbiote living inside serial killer Cletus Kasady, who first
appeared in the post-credit scene of the 2018 film.

also gets a taste of his symbiote-infused blood. The trailer also shows Naomi Harris’
Shreik, who has sonic scream powers.
