Though the first “Venom” was critically derided, there was praise kept not just for Tom Hardy’s performance but the moments the film embraced the wackier buddy comedy and even romantic comedy aspects of its setup.
From the lobster tank restaurant scene to the arguments between Hardy and Venom, the film worked best when it left behind the more conventional superhero genre aspects and went for old school Cronenberg-style body horror (albeit in a PG-13 context) meets Stooges-esque physical comedy.
With the sequel, inevitable after the first grossed $856 million worldwide, both director Andy Serkis and the Sony marketing department seem to be embracing the odd couple pairing.
Speaking with Uproxx recently, Serkis talked about how this unusual relationship had evolved into something co-dependent and even intimate:
“Absolutely they do love each other and that’s the kind of the center of the movie is that love affair, that central love affair… I inherited it [the film] at a really interesting moment – which is this The Seven Year Itch, The Odd Couple phase of Eddie and Venom’s relationship.”
Serkis took it further, saying how one key sequence in the film, where Venom goes to a rave, leans into queer elements of the character:
“Tom and [co-writer] Kelly [Marcel] were always about Venom coming out and going to a party that was a very sort of an LGBTQIA kind of festival, really, I’d call it, and so this is his coming out party basically. This is Venom’s coming-out party.”
A new featurette for the film also goes further into the pair’s relationship and how it evolves becomes more of the central focus this time out. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is set to hit cinemas on October 1st.
