The Theory

Though fans inevitably look to Venom as the go-to symbiote villain, it seems Marvel might be throwing in a curve-ball in the shape of Michael Mando's rumoured character Cletus Kasady - otherwise known as Carnage.

The evidence? Well, this Better Call Saul Twitter account dropped this cheeky tease to announce Mando's casting:

Why It's Believable

Mando would be amazing as a homicidal maniac - he already has been in Better Call Saul, after all - and while everyone is probably losing their mind at another Spider-Man film with too many villains, there's no reason Mando HAS to evolve in this film.

Marvel's approach to seeding villains and supporting characters for future films would offer the perfect model for having Mando drop in as a cameo (perhaps in the opening sequence that sees him busted by Spidey) and sent off to prison to encounter the symbiote later. That would be great too.
