Venom 2: 10 Things You Need To Know About Shriek

10. She's Carnage's Love Interest

With the first Venom film missing out on the infinite potential that the franchise has for incredibly gross symbiote make outs, it appears that Venom 2 decided to go all in, as the relationship between Carnage and Shriek is one that's sure to result in at least one weird scene of romance between the couple.

Although Carnage generally appears to consider the mutant with equal parts love and derision, Shriek clearly has some very strong romantic feelings towards the murderous alien, considering him the father of her little 'family' of evil symbiotes.

This all said, Carnage has been shown to have a soft spot for her, even breaking down at the end of Deadpool vs. Carnage when he thought Shriek was dead - which may mean that the pair's dysfunctional relationship is actually the key to Venom taking Carnage down.

On the plus side, it's at least way less likely to be romanticised than the relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn.
