By the way, you may have noticed the "In Association With Marvel" card at the beginning of the trailer. That phrasing is a little hint at the film's convoluted connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: While a deal between Sony (which controls the film rights to Spider-Man and associated characters) and Disney/Marvel allowed the studios to collaborate on Spider-Man: Homecoming, Venom is meant to kick off a new cinematic universe for Sony, built around Spider-Man's supporting characters like Black Cat and Silver Sable.
