Venom 2: 8 Things The Sequel Must Include

3. Carnage (Done Right)

As the Venom post-credits scene reveals, the villain role of the sequel is to be taken by the glorious ginger locks of Cletus Kasady – known perhaps better as the fresh nightmare that is Carnage.

Of all the characters that could have been introduced as the film’s antagonist, Carnage is unmistakably the perfect choice – a character with a ton of interesting history, but not a history so crucial that ignoring parts of it would ruin the lives of the fanbase.

This said, there is also endless potential for Carnage’s role to be a total let down. With serial killer characters being maybe one of the most common types of villains in film and comics alike, it would be very easy for the ginger menace to slip into any of the million clichés found in both. So long as Carnage stays true to the tone of his comic appearances, however, this should be safely dodged.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
