Alright Marvel fans, as many of you know, one of Marvel’s most recognizable character’s self-titled film made it’s debut on home entertainment this week! VENOM arrived on Digital December 11, and will arrive on 4K Ultra HD™ Combo Pack, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, and DVD next week on December 18. Did you know the film grossed more than $822 million in theaters worldwide to date? To celebrate the film’s success, we’re giving away some awesome goodies, like VENOM Blu-ray and a branded t-shirt!

VENOM tells the evolution story of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass character Venom! Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancée. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?
The home entertainment editions include a number of exciting special features including Venom Mode where fans will be able to engage with cool pop-ups with tid-bits of info throughout the film to reveal hidden references to the comics, deleted and extended scenes!
