Even though 2018's Venom was one of the most critically panned movies of the year, Tom Hardy and his symbiotic, cannibal alien announced via a ludicrous trailer today that they're returning for a sequel.

While the debut trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage guarantees that Venom will engage in more CGI-heavy gore, it also revealed that the film will lean further into the silly comic relief aspect that made the previous outing tolerable. Set to hit theaters on September 24th, the announcement of the film's release date came after multiple delays and rearranging by Sony.
