Venom: 18 Easter Eggs & References Explained

16. Scream

A number of different symbiotes are featured throughout the movie, including Venom, Riot, an unnamed blue symbiote and also a yellow one, which is briefly shown attempting to bond with a rabbit early in the film.

Surprisingly we don't actually see much of this symbiote, despite the fact it's clearly intended to be Scream, one of the more prominent and distinctive symbiotes from the comics.

Though some outlets did initially claim that Michelle Lee's EMT character was Donna Diego - Scream's alter-ego in the comics - the end credits actually list her as "Malaysia EMT / Riot Host".

Considering the character in question ends up playing temporary host to Riot, it wouldn't make any sense at all for her to be Diego unless she was going to eventually come into contact with Scream.

Fingers crossed we might see the symbiote again somehow if a sequel comes to pass.
