Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See

7. Eating The Competition

Sony are going to great lengths to let you know that Venom is an antihero, with the main tagline from this trailer being "the world has enough superheroes". That may well be the case, and though Venom himself may have descended from nobler roots, it's clear that this interpretation of the character is every bit as menacing as his iconic nineties-self.

The character relishes terrorising his pursuers, listing off which organs they'll 'snack' on while licking one unfortunate victim's face. Those fangs are clearly being put to good use though, and as fans of 2005's Ultimate Spider-Man will be able to recall fondly, eating is a big deal for Venom, as it allows the symbiote to sustain itself - at least in that particular interpretation.

Other bad guys fall victim to the creature's pointy mouth at various points in the trailer, and though it's likely they won't be eating everyone, you have to feel sorry for the poor folks who fall victim to that particular method of death.
