A sequence in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, according to Andy Serkis, is a "coming-out party" for the alien symbiote whose bond with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock is "the focus of the movie."

The Venom sequel director recently spoke with Uproxx about the film's rave scene, which he revealed was originally set at a "carnival of the damned" but developed thanks to star Tom Hardy's relationship with rapper Little Simz, who also appears in the film.

“Unbeknownst to her, she had written a song called ‘Venom,' which had a strong connection to the first film. So Tom contacted her, and that song became the focal point,” Serkis explained.

Hardy and co-writer Kelly Marcel had planned the sequence to be a "coming out" moment, according to the director. “Well, Tom and Kelly were always talking about Venom coming out and going to a party that was more or less an LGBTQIA festival, as I'd put it, and so this is basically his coming out party. This is Venom's official debut.”

When questioned if what Serkis was saying was that Venom was not a straight extraterrestrial symbiote as was "really coming out," Serkis replies, "Well, coming out, being out..." before adding that the character "speaks for the other."

“What's intriguing is that it's almost as if he's saying in the movie, ‘We must stop this horrible treatment of aliens.' 'You know, we all live on this ball of rock,' he explained. As a result, he accidentally becomes a sort of... spokesperson for the other. He's advocating for other people's freedom.”

Serkis responds to the statement that "it's very obvious that Eddie and Venom are in love" by calling their relationship the movie's "central love affair" at the end of the interview, which also includes Serkis discussing other Venom-related topics like star and friend Woody Harrelson's involvement and his character Carnage's impact on the film's coloring.

“Absolutely, they love each other, and that love affair, that primary love affair, is kind of the crux of the movie,” he said.
