On Wednesday, ComicBook.com's MCU podcast released Episode 39 featuring a 30-minute interview with Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis. The interview was recorded just before the Venom sequel hit theaters, prior to its massive box office opening which set pandemic era records and claimed the second-largest October opening of all time. In this spoiler-filled dive into Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Serkis talked about his entire journey with the film starting with how he came to be its director early on and running through how the post-credits scene teases a major Marvel event on the big screen. The episode is available on all major podcast platforms now.
