‘Venom’ Trailer: Hey, They Actually Showed The Costume This Time By Ben Pearson/April 23, 2018 8:52 pm EST Sony has unveiled a brand new Venom trailer, and instead of cutting around it, the studio has finally decided to showcase the suit of its title hero.

Burton transformed into a go-to blockbuster guy. Michael Keaton proved himself to be more than just a comedian. Jack Nicholson became absurdly wealthy. And perhaps most importantly, millions of people around the world willingly paid hard-earned cash money to see a superhero movie, which wasn’t exactly a healthy genre at the time....

The tragic romance between the two Avengers will probably be cut short if the evil, power-hungry Thanos (Josh Brolin) has anything to say about it. But at least we get a few more shots of the two of them desperately gazing into each other’s eyes in the latest Avengers: Infinity War TV spot....
