The latest updates and spoilers for the "Venom" spin-off reveal a new trailer to be shown at this year's CinemaCon event. The film's main star Tom Hardy announced the trailer on his Instagram post and it will be a part of Sony Pictures Entertainment's presentation during their panel.

There are also rumors that "Zombieland" star Woody Harrelson will join the movie as Cletus Cassidy a.k.a. Carnage. Bleeding Cool claim that an anonymous tipster told them about his involvement in the project, but did not specify if he will get the same powers as Eddie in the film.

New trailer at CinemaCon 2018

Sony Picture Entertainment's panel will have their panel on Monday at 6:30-8:30 pm and Tom Hardy is set to reveal the new "Venom" trailer during the event. While both Sony and Hardy did not reveal any specific information regarding the trailer's content, comic book fans are wondering if they can finally see the symbiote in action and what Hardy's version of the Spider-Man anti-hero would look like.

The film will take place in San Francisco and Omega Underground previously reported that the plot will be based on the "Lethal Protector" arc. Hardy teased that the Venom costume will have a military look similar to Flash Thompson. The film will also have its own twist with the symbiote as the organism will act as a pandemic virus used to cure Eddie of his illness.

Eddie's bond with the symbiote will be difficult as the organism tries to take over his body and the latter fights for control.

Woody Harrelson as Carnage?

According to Bleeding Cool's source, Woody Harrelson will indeed play the role of Cletus Cassidy despite Sony not giving any official announcements. Harrelson's characters will play a huge part in the narrative, and he will be used as a tool to set-up for future projects.

In the Marve comics, Cletus is a crazed serial killer who is Eddie's cellmate after Spider-Man defeated him in battle. When the Venom symbiote reunited with Eddie, the organism was pregnant and it bonded with Cletus, giving birth to the maniacal monster known as Carnage. Similar to Spidey and Venom, Carnage has all of their powers such as super strength, wall-crawling, and creating webs. In addition, he can shape-shift and transform his hands into bladed weapons. He is considered one of Spidey's most dangerous foes.
