Select IMAX theaters in China are displaying statues of Carnage for screenings of Venom: Let There Be Carnage.Photos of two life-size statues of Venom and the film's villain Carnage were posted on Twitter by TheVenomSite, appearing just two months before the Sony sequel releases in theaters. Along with these photos are videos of the statues' size and placement in the theaters as well as close-up shots of both heads. The statues are available in select theaters throughout China, similar to the Venom statues that were displayed for the first movie in 2018.
Not only do the statues offer a glimpse at how the main symbiote, Venom, will appear in the movie, but also give a look at Carnage's full form, which was only partially shown in the Venom 2 official trailer. Woody Harrelson will play Cletus Kasady, a serial killer who becomes host to Carnage to escape lethal injection and wreak havoc across San Francisco.
In June, TheVenomSite also shared photos of Venom: Let There Be Carnage merchandise that offered a sneak peek at what both Venom and Carnage would look like when the film hits theaters in September. However, the merch (a beach towel) only showed both characters' heads and shoulders, rather than their whole bodies.
Directed by Andy Serkis, Venom: Let There Be Carnage stars Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham, Sean Delaney and Larry Olubamiwo. The film arrives in theaters Sept. 24.
