10 New Details You Need To Know About Venom 2
9. Cletus Kasady's Escape From Custody
According to HN Entertainment, Venom 2 begins with Cletus Kasady about to be executed by the state of California for his past crimes (he's a serial murder). He won't have the Carnage Symbiote at this point, so it doesn't appear as if this sequel will follow the comic books.
That's really no great surprise after the first instalment, and for those of you unfamiliar with the source material, Cletus originally got his own alien costume after being imprisoned alongside Eddie Brock. When Venom escaped from custody, he left part of his "other" behind, and that bonded with Cletus through a cut on his hand.
Interestingly, this report contradicts that Morbius plot leak which claimed that Cletus will escape alongside Adrian Toomes when the Living Vampire makes his escape. It sounds like a fun cameo, and there's actually nothing to say Cletus won't have been captured by the time this sequel begins and taken back to San Francisco to pay for his crimes.
Either way, Cletus won't be alone when he makes his escape...
