Venom’s first trailer gave the fandom particular pause for concern, as it was completely lacking the titular antihero at all, instead coming off as more of an adventure for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock.
Prior to its release, the cards were stacked again Venom from being the success it ended up being in theaters.
The film got even more flack when Jenny Slate’s character mispronounced the word symbiote in the trailer, as audiences grew more concerned.
As previously mentioned, it had the lofty goal of making a Spider-Man character movie without the web slinger, as Sony’s deal with Marvel has Tom Holland’s Peter Parker operating within the Marvel Shared Universe.
