While none of those characters are mentioned during the scene, Carnage closes it out with a promise to be back for lots more, snarling at Eddie, “If I get outta here, and I will, it’s gonna be…carnage!”įrank Masi 2. In various comic storylines, Carnage gets out of prison, fights Spider-Man, fights Venom, and attempts to build his own army of terrifying villains, including Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion, and Doppelgänger. There’s also no indication that the Symbiote inside Cletus is the offspring of Venom, but as Fleischer’s film kept careful count of the four Symbiotes it introduced, with Venom the only one clearly still alive, it’s still possible that Carnage is related to Venom.

While the comics storyline threw Eddie and Cletus together as fellow prisoners, thus allowing such a weird bonding to occur, “Venom” only puts the pair together once Cletus is locked up. When the character was introduced in the comics in the early nineties, it was part of a complex storyline that centered on Eddie’s own Symbiote unknowingly spawning its own offspring, which then bonded with Cletus, making him even more stronger and dangerous than he already was previously.

Like Venom, Carnage is typically portrayed as a human (in this case, Kasady, a sociopath, sadist, and serial killer, designed as a counterpoint to the more moralistic Venom) who becomes infected with one of the alien Symbiotes. … I thought it was under wraps that I’m even in the movie.” It’s telling that Harrelson has already offered up that he’s “in the next one,” because there’s little doubt that the introduction of his Carnage is mostly meant to stoke excitement for a possible sequel.

“So I haven’t read that script, but anyways, just rolled the dice. Harrelson’s involvement in the film has been rumored for months now, and when Collider asked him about it during the “Solo” press rounds, he tried to keep things vague. “I’m in a little fraction of this movie, but I’ll be in the next one, you know?” Harrelson said. That serial killer Eddie is visiting? It’s Carnage, AKA Cletus Kasady, widely viewed as Venom’s signature antagonist. Fans of the Venom storylines will likely already know who Eddie is about to meet, but even newbies will be shocked when they catch a glimpse of a curly, bright red wig sitting atop no less than Woody Harrelson’s head. Stuck in an isolated cage in a larger room, very “Silence of the Lambs,” waits the prisoner, who has literally used his own blood to craft a welcome message for Eddie (full text: “Welcome, Eddie”). Eddie’s motives are somewhat altruistic - it seems that the prisoner is a serial killer who is holding out on the FBI, and Eddie suspects he might be able to get him to confess to a few suspected crimes - though it’s clear from the start that whoever is waiting for him behind bars is pulling all the strings. As he trundles up a suitably dark and grimy road, Eddie hisses to Venom that this is “a me thing, not a we thing,” but he’s about to be proven wrong. A New Foeīack on his beat of busting baddies and then posting about it on the internet, Eddie heads off to San Quentin Prison to meet an infamous prisoner interested in spilling his (metaphorical, maybe) guts to only Eddie. Here’s what the post-credits scenes are and how they tie back to the rest of the burgeoning Spider-verse. The film concludes with a wink to the unlikely pair’s future together, and it’s that kind of forward-thinking that powers two very different post-credits scenes. In “Venom,” Hardy is tasked with a curious dual role: journalist Eddie Brock, disgraced early on after an interview with a powerful foe (Riz Ahmed) goes awry, and Venom, an alien parasite known as a “Symbiote” who attaches himself to Eddie, leading to some high-energy adventures.
