Though ‘Venom’ isn’t set for release until October 2018, we can’t help but cling to every small piece of news that makes it’s way to the wonderful world of the internet. This latest tidbit comes via a Brazilian Comic-con. An Instagram user snapped a photo of what appears to be a “Place Holder” logo for the upcoming ‘Venom’ film. The banner shows a more comic/cartoon accurate Venom with a billboard that reads, “We are Venom.”
Producer Mathew Tolmach spoke with MTV and shed a some light as to what we can expect from Tom Hardy as Venom:
You know, Tom… it’s like a masterclass watching him act every day and he’s such a risk taker and he loved this character,” said Tolmach.
“From the day that we first met with him, my partner Avi Arad and I… we found someone who just believed in this character entirely and yet every day pushes it to a place that us mere mortals would never expect it to go.”
Venom Symbiote is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with Spider-Man. Venom made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #300.

Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.

Movie Review (no spoilers)
Exceptional performance by Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel respectively. Samuel L. Jackson is back with a fury as Nick Fury and bringing the much-needed energy and comic relief as usual.
I highly encourage watching the following Marvel movies and TV series in order to thoroughly prepare for The Marvels.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Captain Marvel (2019)
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
WandaVision (2021)
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Secret Invasion (2023)
The Marvels’ storyline picks up right after each of the main stars’ respective storylines and manages to combine their story arc into a unique and marvelous manner, keeping it consistent with some of the current events within the broad Marvel Cinematic Universe and developing our heroes from individual stars into a team of superstars. The costumes are aesthetically pleasing.

Zawe Ashton plays the part of Dar-Benn, the antagonist in The Marvels. I would have loved to see more of her character’s backstory and hope that we get to see more backgrounds being unpacked either through Marvel TV Series or even an television special.
The movie’s runtime is 105 minutes, making it the shortest Marvel movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story felt a little bit rushed, considering a dangerous mission is underway to prevent world-level ramifications but no-time is wasted to deliver yet another masterpiece in the cinematic universe.
The story delivers a few unique twists, lots of humor and a few surprises. The movie definitely contains something for everyone, young and old, and I encourage you to take the whole family to experience The Marvels.

The Marvels is a story that keeps the golden thread, which is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and still manages to peak higher, further and faster into the multiversal trajectory.
The trailer doesn’t spoil much, but as always, a secret awaits for those who eagerly pay attention to the Marvel’s trailers. My only worry is that usually key spoilers tend to emerge in the week following the release of the movie in the forms of updated sneak peaks and mini-trailers.
There is a mid-credits scene that you don’t want to miss, but no post-credits scene.
I rate this movie 4 out of 5. Really excited to see what the future holds for Captain Marvel.
