'Venom' gets new release date in PH

Sony's Venom gets a new release date in the Philippines.

Instead of October 5, the movie starring the anti-hero from Spider-Man mythos will be shown on October 4.

In the new trailer released this week, Venom's nemesis is revealed to be the Riot, one of the many symbiote villains from the Marvel Universe.

Riot first appeared with four other symbiote characters (Scream, Lasher, Phage and Agony) in a 1993 miniseries called Venom: Lethal Protector. However, he was not officially given a codename until 2012's Carnage USA.

Venom's movie villain is not Carnage, but Riot.
