The universe has determined that there can, officially, be carnage after many, many release date delays and re-shuffles. Following up on Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the head-chomping alien with whom he shares a body after their origin tale in 2018’s Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage has here. Andy Serkis is directing this time, as Woody Harrelson’s Cletus Kasady has been unleashed with a new hairdo and the violent symbiote known as Carnage inside of him. The buzz, as they say, is real, but in these exceedingly confused, decidedly un-chill times, it’s a little difficult to figure out how we’re expected to enjoy 2021’s biggest new releases.
We’ve got your back. Here’s all you need to know about watching Venom: Let There Be Carnage right now:
Is ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Playing In Theaters?
Finally, it is. Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s journey to the big screen has been a long and winding one. The film was originally scheduled to debut on October 2, 2020, but was pushed back several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, first to June 5, 2021, then to September 17, September 24, and finally to October 15, before Sony was inspired by the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to move Let There Be Carnage up to October 1. So, to cut a long tale short, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is currently showing in theaters. And with that kind of box office, you can know it’ll be in theaters for a while.
Of course, because the pandemic is still present, double-check your local safety procedures before purchasing a ticket.
Is ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Streaming Anywhere?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Right now, the only way to see Venom: Let There Be Carnage is at a theater. The 2021 Warner Bros. strategy to put all of its blockbusters on HBO Max, combined with Black Widow’s launch on Disney+ Premiere Access, helped to acclimate fans to the idea of seeing new movies at home. However, thanks to the relative popularity of films like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as well as the increased availability of vaccines, companies are once again presenting tentpoles exclusively in cinemas. It’s the same with Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Where will Let There Be Carnage be available to stream in the future? It’s also a difficult question. In April, Disney and Sony struck an agreement that insured Sony’s Marvel content—including anything under the studio’s loosely defined universe of Spider-Man-related characters, such as Venom—would stream on Disney-owned streaming services like Disney+ and Hulu after an exclusive stay on Netflix.
Is ‘Venom’ (2018) Streaming?
The original Venom, directed by Ruben Fleischer, is only available to watch for free on FX Now right now. Otherwise, Venom may be rented for $2.99 on Amazon or Vudu, or $3.99 on Apple TV, Youtube, and Redbox.
