10 New Details You Need To Know About Venom 2
4. The Sequel Might Also Introduce Toxin
We don't know who will be playing him, but a behind the scenes photo from the set of Venom 2 confirmed that Detective Mulligan will be featured in the sequel. That's another name which might not be instantly familiar to you if you're not a huge comic book fan, but he got his own Symbiote in the source material and became Toxin.
Forced to battle the murderous urges of his "other," this New York City cop did his best to be a superhero, but found that easier said than done due to the Symbiote constantly fighting him for control (which makes him stand out from both Venom and Carnage).
Recently, videos from the set have shown Carnage seemingly attacking a Detective in San Francisco, so speculation is now running rampant that Venom 2 will serve as an origin story of sorts for Toxin. He could factor into the main plot or first "suit up" in a post-credits scene, but Sony is no doubt already thinking about the possible spinoff potential here.
