Venom Trailer 2 Reactions: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

Ups

7. It Definitely Doesn't Feel Like A Spider-Man Movie

This trailer should hopefully end all speculation about whether this is in any way linked to the MCU (which, ironically will make any rumoured Tom Holland cameo land far more successfully if it does come). It's about as far removed from Holland's Spidey and the sensibilities of the MCU as you could possibly imagine.

It looks like it's going to be hyper-violent and outrageous (as you'd expect from an R-Rated flick) and it screams adult content far more than the Disney sponsored releases. And difference is good when we know that there won't be any sort of Spider-Man presence in here (at least not in any sort of meaningful way).

The marketing HAD to address that and this trailer finally does it, including the cheeky nod to their being enough superhero movies.
