Venom Eats a Bunch of Sports Geeks in a Strange New Promo Spot For VENOM
I’ve got a couple new promo spots for Venom that you’ve got to check out. This first one in the weirdest, though. It’s a ESPN promo called “New Mascot” and it shows Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock walk into a room for of innocent sports geeks, including former quarterback Charles Woodson and wide receiver Randy Moss, talking about sports mascots. For reason they think that Venom is the best choice. They bring him in the rom and he ends up trapping everyone, scaring the living shit out of them, and then proceeds to eat them. I don’t get it! I guess it’s supposed to be funny? Maybe people who watch ESPN will get it. It’s certainly the strangest add I’ve seen for the movie so far. The second promo spot features more footage of the villainous symbiote character, Riot.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) and written by Scott Rosenberg (Pain & Gain, Jumanji) and Jeff Pinkner (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), the Venom film is set to be released on October 5, 2018.
