Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See

3. Symbiote Separation (And An Identity Confirmed)

In by far the best looking moment in the trailer, where Venom and Riot merge together to fight each other in their primal forms (which also, by the way, looks strikingly similar to the intro to the nineties Spider-Man cartoon), you can actually see Carlton Drake in the symbiote. It's slightly spoiler-y, as the transformation had only been hinted at before, but still, it's a striking image that harkens back to some of the character's most iconic looks in the comics.

It's unclear what triggers this separation, but if the film carries over the symbiotes' weaknesses of fire and sound, then it may be possible they're suffering from those effects. If you look in the background, you can also see what looks to be a rocket of sorts - could the pair be caught up in a launch gone wrong?

It's that, or they're duking it out at a nearby museum. Either way, this looks to be the film's final confrontation, which may potentially mean that Carnage won't be appearing - at least in a key way.
