Tom Hardy's new Venom trailer was recently uploaded by Sony Pictures. From the looks of the trailer, it looks like the film promises to deliver the anti-hero and a detailed story arc on the alien symbiote focusing mainly on Riot.
The supposed Spider-Man spin-off centres the life of a journalist, Eddie Brock who investigate Life Foundation. Venom will feature Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock aka Venom, Riz Ahmed as Dr. Carlton Drake, a mad-scientist who cheat every law of nature and upgrades the biological aspects of humans. Eddie's life will change upside down when he accidentally comes into the contact with the alien symbiote. The symbiote bonds with him, providing him with some supernatural powers.

The new Venom 2018 trailer is packed with the bizarre relationship between Eddie and his new symbiote. While in the beginning, it is shown that Eddie seems a little reluctant of the bloodthirsty symbiote, things between the two tones down a little after they strike a relationship. In addition to this, the trailer offered us the glimpse of the Dr. Carlton Drake's Life Foundation and his own symbiote, Riot.
