Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See

8. Improving Visual Effects

Though there were both pros and cons to the first Venom teaser, which didn't show any symbiote, or even much of the plot, it was obvious that the visual effects weren't ready to be unveiled at that stage. The first full trailer ended with a full shot of the creature, showing elements of the symbiote beforehand, and though they looked fine, they clearly weren't finished.

Now, with the film's October release date inching closer, those effects have improved dramatically. The symbiote looks brilliant, and though some shots did look a little rough around the edges, this is still the most authentic-looking symbiote we've seen on the big screen (sorry, Spider-Man 3).

While yes, it does lack the iconic white spider on the chest, the reasoning for its omission is logical. This version of the character has never even heard of Peter Parker (or so we think), nor encountered Spider-Man at any point. At the very least, the white veins along the the character do the trick well enough, and with a view to a potential MCU crossover still being talked about, don't write it off from happening just yet.
