First Look At RIOT Symbiote In ‘Venom’ Movie Revealed

Many fans have been waiting to see new footage from the upcoming Venom movie, and today – we were given a very revealing new trailer. It features plenty of looks at the title character, and also gives us a look at RIOT, the symbiote that takes over Riz Ahmed’s character, Dr. Carlton Drake, in the film. The trailer gave us a couple (very quick) interesting looks at both of them in action, and fans have managed to capture some screenshots that we have for you below:

Gonna predict now so many people will just call Riot “The other Venom” based on their similar look. #Venom #VenomMovie pic.twitter.com/L0kOmAUwNk

Conceptually this shot is wonderful.
Looks like something straight out of a comic, Venom vs. Riot with their hosts visible too.

I’m just concerned that no level of visual effects polish will be able to make this shot look real.

Though it’s been said that Venom will be loosely adapting the Lethal Protector storyline, director Ruben Fleischer has said the movie won’t have any heroes. It appears that Sony is going for a pretty comic book accurate movie – at least visually.

Here’s hoping it lives up to the hype when it’s released on October 5th.
