Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See
6. A Fight On The Golden Gate Bridge
Sony
Not much is known of Venom's pivotal action sequences, and this trailer did relatively well to keep details of those scenes under wraps. That said, shots of the symbiote scaling the Golden Gate bridge seemingly confirm that the creature will be duking it out with something at some point in the film.
Whether that's Ahmed's Riot or another of the fearsome five is still unknown, but it's clear that Fleischer is determined to make use of the San Fransisco setting. The character does actually travel there in the Lethal Protector arc, where he faces a group known as 'The Jury'.
In the comics, the mercenaries from that group are assembled by a grieving father, whose son was killed by Venom in a story-arc in the main Spider-Man comic. We have actually seen Venom being chased down by some mercenary-types in all the trailers shown off thus far, and though they could just be the group assigned to the Life Foundation, the film has remained faithful to the David Michelinie-Mark Bagley storyline for the most part.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
