Sony has released the first trailer for Venom, starring Tom Hardy as an antihero who gets tangled up with a mysterious and powerful symbiote.
If the character sounds kind of familiar, you may recall that he's frequently associated with Spider-Man – Topher Grace played a version of him in 2007's Spider-Man 3.
But this Venom exists separately from Spider-Man. The current Spidey exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with all the Avengers, while Venom is off doing his own thing in a different continuity.
