Recently, the topic of "Venom 2" on the Internet has obviously exploded! First of all, some time ago, the film's overseas advanced screening activities triggered a number of collective seconds praise from overseas film critics.
The first batch of film reviews of "Venom 2" is unbanned, in addition to exposing more details about the film, it also conveys an important message, that is, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (referred to as MCU) is ready to usher in a new era!
Let's start with the content of the two trailers for Venom 2, which include at least two storylines. The first, apparently the slaughter of a new generation of supervillains about to join the MCU, and its host, Kletus Cassadi, both roles played by Woody Harrison.
It is said that his acting skills exploded this time and contributed god-level acting skills. As for Massacre and Kletus, because stories tend to be bloody and have a high thriller index, they haven't appeared in comics much since they were born in 1992. Sony Pictures, this time first spent a lot of money on special effects.
Compared to the black venom, the blood-red slaughter feels quite cool, and the slaughter in the manga is also restored quite perfectly, but the unique skill assimilation of the slaughter does not appear in the trailer. As for the plot, the plot of Kletus biting Eddie in the trailer is quite shocking, which seems to be the reason why he infected and bred the massacre in the movie, which is completely different from the origin of the massacre in the comics.
What are the backstories about Kletus in the film, and the current trailer only shows that he is a murderous killer. According to the comics, he is indeed a madman, but at the same time he has a very high IQ, coupled with his sometimes laughing expression, so Jin is ridiculed by fans as a Marvel version of the clown with different hair colors.
It is reported that Sony may make a special movie for the massacre in the future. The Raven Village Psychiatric Hospital where Klatus was born has appeared in the trailer.
Another story line of the film, of course, is the real protagonist of "Venom 2", Eddie and Venom played by Tom Hardy, the teacher of the soup. Seeing the trailer, Eddie's first reaction was that Teacher Tang had become a star lord.
Interestingly, it seems normal for Marvel actors to get fat. Marvel doesn't have hard rules about the body of an actor these days, but Hammer Brother Chris Hay Msworth is an exception. Because Brother Hammer likes fitness and sports too much, so that the muscle block is too large, he has to use special effects to eliminate muscle in the later stage, and he is interviewed by Marvel not to practice too fiercely.
In the "Venom 2" trailer, Eddie can be seen to be severely hit because his girlfriend, Anne Weiying, played by Michelle Williams, is getting married.
In short, Eddie became a single dog, and Venom became his best friend, even taking care of his diet. Although the trailer feels that Venom ate the bad guys, and they accidentally created a massacre, xiaobian feels that Eddie did not let Venom go down in the end. After all, even if it is the same anti-hero theme, there is still a scale problem in making a movie.
In Venom 2, in addition to Venom and Massacre, there are two symbiotes, one of which is howl announced by the filmmakers very early, which is played by Naomi Harris, but the filmmakers have not released more information about this host.
In the comics, howling, like slaughter, is a symbiote born of Venom on Earth, but in the movie it is suitable for Venom to fall to Earth with it. Also the first generation of Howling and its host was, Massacre and Kletus' girlfriend.
It can also be seen in the trailer that it seems that after Kletus was executed, the massacre broke out for the first time, and a man and a woman left during the fire at Raven Village.
In the comics, the two have already broken up, and the host of the second generation of howling has also become an independent and progressive Anti-hero image of African American women. In the Venom 2 trailer, Howling clearly has an ultrasound ability.
Interestingly, neither generation of howling in the comics has this ability, and ultrasound has always been the biggest weakness of Venom and Slaughter, so howl may be the final showdown. It is reported that Sony has been considering adding female symbiote comrades to Venom in the "Venom" series.
Nowadays, it seems that the editor feels that the possibility of howling is very large. Another symbiote, that is, the one that the trailer also wants to bite very much, this character is called Ke Mulligan, the symbiosis on his body is called toxin, which is considered to be the descendant of the slaughter, because it was just born by the venom and the slaughter and sensed that it may be the strongest symbiote known, so the massacre had to put down its body, asked to join hands with the venom to strangle it, and finally because the toxin evolved into a complete body needed the opportunity, and finally it was stopped by Eddie and Venom.
Let's take a look at the interesting information of other exposures after the "Venom 2" film review was lifted. First of all, the length of the "Venom 2" film is 90 minutes, and the end of the film plus Easter eggs is 5 minutes. Although the person in charge of foreign theaters immediately broke the news that there was a 95-minute version of "Venom 2", there was soon news to refute rumors, saying that this version would not be released in theaters.
In this way, "Venom 2" is 22 minutes shorter than "Venom 1", 2 minutes less than the shortest Marvel movie "Fantastic Four 2", which is truly the shortest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Although it has obviously become shorter, judging from the first batch of film reviews released by "Venom 2", everyone is quite satisfied, not only the special effects are so good that they are "incredible", but the plot is also more exciting than "Black Widow" and "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Commandments". Almost all the big names and audiences think that "Venom 2" returns to the classic comic book super British film style, and the coherence and compactness are quite surprising.
What is more interesting is that some viewers mentioned the emotional scene in the film in the comments, although the specific content was not revealed, but the mention of this emotional scene made everyone feel "extremely moved".
In the comics, Venom's feelings for Eddie are second only to Slaughter and Kletus. The Massacre is only recognized by Kletus, and Venom will make choices according to the situation, but is quite attached to Eddie. Because venom can indeed lay eggs, some people joke that venom is the heroine.
In the comics, Venom is also obviously very good to Eddie's son, and even feels that he is his own offspring. In addition, the rating of "Venom 2" in the United States has been announced, it has not reached the r-level, or pg-13, and young viewers under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by their parents. The rating reason is roughly the same as "Venom 1", in addition to the elements of horror, violence and so on, but also added a line, that is, there are many connotation lines.
In addition, the end egg of "Venom 2" has been exposed, and someone has exposed a recording, which is the dialogue between Eddie and Venom in the Easter egg, showing that the future plot is closely followed by the movie "Spider-Man: Heroes No Return", Eddie and Venom watched the news about spiders killing mysteries, and decided to run to New York to punish Spiders.
Recently, the extraordinary Spider-Man Andrew Garfield has repeatedly denied that he will appear in "Heroes Of No Return", so more people speculate that Venom will definitely make a cameo appearance in "Heroes Of No Return". Recently, the official finally admitted, but said that it is really just a cameo, to see the spider and Venom in the same frame, until "Venom 3".
In addition, foreign media reports say that Marvel plans to increase investment in the Spider Universe, and even more than the "Avengers 5" scale of the movie. In this regard, many film critics around the world believe that "Venom 2" may be a film that represents a series of changes in the future MCU. Xiaobian speculates that there may be more anti-hero characters in the MCU in the future. Compared with the story of the comic, it is estimated that these characters will be more sunny and more civilian, in addition to the small faults of ordinary people on their bodies are more obvious, the plot will also have more collisions with ordinary people's values.
Secondly, the interaction of the characters in the MCU film will increase, and in the future, without waiting for "Reunion", multiple heroes can appear in a movie, such as Spider-Man, and even the entire Defenders League or the Fantastic Four team as a whole, and they will be more frequent with each other.
In addition, "Venom 2" is biased towards the anime style, and may become the norm for MCUs in the future. Judging from the comments on the sequel, the adjustment and success of this time, although it obviously weakened the sense of reality, not even the knitting elements of the lost MCU, but also did not completely fall to the younger age. In addition to the camera sense closer to the composition of the comic, the screenwriter also made a significant adjustment to the content of the film, bringing the pure superhero monster theme to a new height.
Speaking of which, there is bad news to tell you that in the future, Chinese mainland theaters may not introduce MCU films, including "Venom 2". The above is all the news about the release of "Venom 2", once again emphasizing that some of the content is still just a rumor, so let's wait and see what happens.
