The story
Why watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage?
Eddie Brock and Venom return to face Cletus Kasady and Carnage. Andy Serkis directs a sequel that puts an even more dangerous symbiote pairing against a central duo still struggling with the terms of their own arrangement.
The domestic friction between Eddie and Venom is part of the action’s setup, not just a pause between fights. Watch how the film plays its unlikely relationship against another bond built on very different impulses.
