For those who have not seen ‘Venom,’ the mid-credits scene introduces the audience to one Cletus Kasady. Woody Harrelson plays the role of the incarcerated Kasady and is set to reprise his role for the sequel. Online recently, footage was released that showed Harrelson in his “transformation.” This all ends up setting the stage for one of the more prominent villains in the Marvel Universe, Carnage.
Carnage is one of the most sadistic characters in the Marvel Universe and seeing him on screen will be interesting. From what has been seen for the movie thus far, Carnage will be the character that fans love. He is bound for a more comic book style villain route like Riot should have been like in the first ‘Venom.’ Everyone who wanted a sequel for the movie wanted the main villain for the film to be Carnage. The biggest reason for which being that he is one of Venom’s biggest nemeses’.
