Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See

"The world has enough superheroes."

What could well be the final trailer before Venom releases dropped online today, and it's... a bit of a doozy. Not disastrous by any stretch of the imagination - the film is showing some brilliant signs of promise at the moment - but it was far from the mass hype-generator Sony inevitably wanted it to be, no matter the repeated use of the trailer music from Avengers: Infinity War.

With this being the third trailer, Sony have elected to show off quite a lot of the film, and even more in blink-and-you'll miss it chunks. This calls for the equally inevitable trailer breakdown, and with the Ruben Fleischer film having already been rather open regarding its use of the Lethal Protector story-arc from the comics, it's getting easier to piece together the story by the day.

Of course, comic book movies these days are very fond of the odd misdirection here and there, but, given what we know of that story - as well as what we’ve seen in the trailers, interviews, and this most recent look - the film’s skeleton (or symbiote) is coming into focus.
