‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Bites Back into Select Theaters This Weekend

John Squires

Now available on 4K and Blu-ray, Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage is now making a return to theaters, likely to capitalize on the smash hit success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Let There Be Carnage is back in select theaters January 14, we’ve learned today!

Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting that Venom: Let There Be Carnage “hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for the brisk 90-minute runtime. It’s the perfect runtime for a rom-com, but as a superhero movie, it gets sloppy.”

She continues, “But it’s hard not to be charmed by Venom attempting to cheer up his host with a lavish breakfast and pep talks. Or a dose of self-love and acceptance in the form of a confessional mic drop at a costume party. If you’re in the mood for silly, this sequel nails it. But for an epic showdown among monsters, it lacks bite.”

Tom Hardy is back as Eddie Brock, who is of course also the alien symbiote known as Venom. Woody Harrelson, who popped up as Cletus Kasady in the first film’s post-credits scene, ultimately becomes Carnage in the film. Michelle Williams is also back in the sequel to the smash hit movie from 2018, with Naomie Harris co-starring as Shriek.

Andy Serkis directed the sequel to 2018’s Venom.
