Description
As a follow-up to the 2018 film “Venom” directed by Ruben Fleischer, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” sees legendary motion-capture performance actor Andy Serkis settling into the director’s chair, with Tom Hardy returning as the titular antihero. Based on Marvel Comics, this particular corner of the universe is under the Sony umbrella, whereas the majority of other Marvel intellectual properties are supervised by Disney and its many divisions. Thus, for all intents and purposes, stories with the Eddie Brock/Venom character portrayed by Tom Hardy are considered to be outside the boundaries of the 25-film Marvel Cinematic Universe, and allowed more room to breathe creatively. Ultimately, I would say this is much to the benefit of Serkis’ film.
