Will There Be a ‘Peaky Blinders’ Season 7 on Netflix?
Has there ever been a greater love story than that of Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote Venom that feeds off of his body? Well, probably, yes, but if the marketing for Venom: Let There Be Carnage is anything to go by, the sequel to this Marvel movie is really leaning into the odd couple dynamic.
Starring Tom Hardy as both Eddie Brock and Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage serves as a sequel to the 2018 super-hero movie Venom. This time around, journalist Eddie Brock is learning to adjust to the monstrous alien presence in his life, trying to get back to normal, by interviewing a serial killer (Woody Harrelson) for an article. But everything leads back to Venom, as it always does.
Venom fans have been awaiting this sequel for a long time—the movie was originally scheduled for October 2020, but has since been delayed multiple times (and then moved back up again) thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. The wait is finally over, and Venom 2 is coming to theaters this weekend. But when will Venom 2 be on streaming? Here’s what we know.
WHERE TO WATCH VENOM 2:
Right now, the only place to watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage is in a movie theater when it opens on Friday, October 1.
WILL VENOM LET THERE BE CARNAGE BE ON HBO MAX?
No. Venom 2 is a Sony movie, not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore Venom: Let There Be Carnage will not be on HBO Max at the same time it is in theaters. HBO Max—which is owned by Warner Media—has been the streaming home for blockbuster Warner Bros. theatrical movies like The Many Saints of Newark, but it will not be the streaming home for Venom 2. (At least, not any time soon.)
IS VENOM LET THERE BE CARNAGE ON NETFLIX?
No. Venom 2 is not on Netflix. While Netflix has signed some deals to stream some Sony films, it’s unclear if Venom 2 will be included in that. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Venom: Let There Be Carnage will be streaming on Netflix any time soon.
WHEN WILL VENOM LET THERE BE CARNAGE BE STREAMING?
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will release on digital platforms on November 23, 2021, just in time for Thanksgiving. At that time, you will be able to buy a digital copy of Venom 2 on websites like Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube, and more.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will then be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 14, 2021.
The first place Venom 2 will most likely go after its VOD and DVD release—though it’s not guaranteed—is Starz, due to a pre-existing deal with the premium cable network. The good news is that if Venom: Let There Be Carnage does go to Starz, most likely 6 to 9 months after it debuts in theaters (meaning March, 2022 to June, 2022), it will also be available on services like Hulu with the Starz add-on.
Disney also recently made a deal with Sony to bring Spider-Man and other Marvel properties to Disney Plus after the movies released on Netflix—but that deal begins with Sony’s 2022 release slate, and Venom 2 will release in 2021.
This post has been updated with new information about the Venom 2 home release.
