Intense 'Venom' trailer introduces your not-so-friendly neighborhood parasite

We're finally getting to know Venom in this full trailer for his eponymous film about the origin of the parasitic alien super-villain from Spider-Man comics. And while Venom may be the obvious villain, we have our suspicions about Dr. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed).

The new trailer shows Brock's deterioration into Venom – a connection between "man and symbiote," as Drake says. Eddie, curious and nonconfrontational, fuses with his new alter-ego – massive, growling, hungry for flesh. The trailer features lots of snarling Venom and Tom Hardy Doing Voices, a good amount of Ahmed's Drake and his toxic ambition, and not nearly enough of Michelle Williams as Anne.

Venom hits theaters Oct. 5.
