The first teaser trailer for Venom has arrived but if you’re hoping to see Tom Hardy in full Venom mode, you’d best cool your jets.

And a not-particularly-detailed plot synopsis:
“One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.”

Venom is released on 5 October. Keep up with the latest genre news with the new issue of SciFiNow.
