Venom 2 gets a new title and 2021 release date

April 21st, 2020 by Marc Comments

I wish I could say I hadn’t seen this coming, but I had, sadly.

It looks like Venom 2 – now called Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage – has finally buckled under the pressure of that damned virus and is moving from its 2020 release date.

The movie, from Sony pictures, was looking like it would hold on to its October release date but now it has officially been announced that, no, it’s now set for release on June 25th, 2021.

Arse.

The movie will see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom go up against Woody Harrelson’s Carnage – another symbiote like Venom only with a much larger thirst for blood and mayhem and, honestly, I was really looking forward to seeing it this Halloween.

But, alas, it’s not to be as it joins James Bond, Black Widow, Ghostbusters and many, many more jumping to 2021 thanks to that damned virus.

What say you all? Are you disappointed about the move or are you happy to wait? Or maybe you weren’t going to see it anyway… I want to hear it all, folks.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
