After getting a teaser back in February and then a formal trailer in April that gave us a proper look at the title character, Venom is in that weird spot where I continue to think that the general comic book movie fan negativity isn’t going to affect it much and it’s going to do well. Set for an October 5th, 2018 debut, a second formal trailer has landed with a three-minute running time that gives us a lot more material with Venom himself but also shows off Riot as played by Riz Ahmed, giving us another symbiote to deal with.
The film stars Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed, and Michelle Williams.
Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner on board for the script and Ruben Fleischer is on board to direct it. Fleischer did some TV worked as a producer for several years in the early 2000′s and made his feature film directorial debut with 2009′s Zombieland. He followed that up with 30 Minutes or Less and then 2013′s Gangster Squad and has been doing producer work since then and doing some TV directorial work.
