Disney Plus fans are buzzing with excitement as a major Marvel movie surprise has been unveiled. The streaming service has quietly added 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' to its lineup, marking a significant moment for Marvel enthusiasts. This addition is particularly intriguing as it involves a film that Disney had no direct involvement in, setting it apart from the typical Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings. Disney Plus has become a go-to platform for Marvel fans, hosting a vast collection of MCU movies, but this new entry takes a different path. 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' is part of Sony Pictures' Spider-Man Universe, which has faced some challenges in maintaining fan interest. The movie, starring Tom Hardy, was initially released in 2021 and received mixed reviews. While the first 'Venom' film was praised for its over-the-top humor, the sequel struggled to maintain the same level of entertainment, with a darker tone that didn't quite fit. The film's main villain, Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson), was a standout character, but the overall narrative failed to captivate audiences, leading to it being considered the weakest in the trilogy. The Venom series, despite its mixed reception, has been a commercial success, grossing over $1.8 billion worldwide. Disney Plus subscribers in the US can now enjoy the first two installments, with the third film, 'Venom: The Last Dance', expected to join the platform much later. This surprise addition sparks curiosity and discussion among fans, especially those who have questioned the direction of Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
