Venom: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

12. Cletus Kasady

As many fans suspected, Woody Harrelson's mysterious role turned out to be none other than iconic criminal Cletus Kasady, who shows up for a hot minute in the film's mid-credits scene.

Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) visits him in jail for an interview, and we get a brief glimpse of Harrelson kitted out in a ridiculous Poundland-calibre wig that's already earned him many mocking comparisons to the hit musical Annie.

Harrelson's a great actor of course, but he looks positively ridiculous in the wig while spouting the howlingly on-the-nose line, "There's gonna be Carnage", and mugging at the camera. It's about as low-effort a character introduction as they come, failing to muster much excitement at all beyond unintentional laughter.

Hopefully Harrelson was at least well-compensated for his time and dignity, though it'll be interesting to see if he actually ends up reprising this role for the proposed sequel in light of the damning reviews.
