Ruben Fleischer’s Venom was a bigger hit than expected. The supposed first step in Sony’s “Venom Extended Universe” (which will include Morbius and Venom 2) has made more than $800 million internationally, meaning that we live in a world where a Venom solo film made more than the goddamn Justice League. Venom got plenty of love from the movie-going public, even if the critics panned it.
Even this very site gave it a bad review, but we’re far from a hivemind. I loved the stupid movie for being a fun and funny exercise in Tom Hardy being as ridiculous as possible. I loved it enough that I’ve already pre-ordered the Blu-ray.
That’s even before I found out what’s even on said Blu-ray outside scenes of a raw lobster meals and goofy, red wigs.
Venom DVD/Blu-ray Release Date
Venom will be hitting digital on December 11, but the blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack will be coming out on December 18. Which works out great because being a liquid lifeform, Venom is in fact the perfect stocking stuffer. You can pre-order it here.
There’s a lot of extra stuff in this baby – advertised as over an hour – which includes deleted scenes, extended scenes, a Pop-Up Video option called Venom Mode, behind-the-scenes documentaries, that Eminem music video, and some stuff on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Venom Bonus Features and Deleted Scenes
Here’s the list of bonus features:
In the meantime, here’s a new trailer to hype the home release that completely leans into the Tumblr read of the movie.
Anyone who hates that trailer suffers from Toxin masculinity.
…aw man, this is probably why they don’t let me review movies on this site.
Gavin Jasper writes for Den of Geek and feels Venom makes a great double feature with the first Mortal Kombat. Read his other articles here and follow him on Twitter @Gavin4L
