Venom Movie: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
4. Carnage
Although the Lethal Protector arc from the comics never actually featured Carnage, with the Symbiotes of Phage, Agony, Slasher, Scream and Riot (this was the nineties, remember), all appearing instead.
A change might be in order for the film however. Neither one of those five were particularly threatening, or interesting, when they debuted, and while it's clear the Fleischer film has been hyping that arc up quite a bit, a better, more recognisable symbiote could be making an appearance in their stead.
That's because a since deleted Instagram post by Tom Hardy featured a drawing of Carnage looming over a Brock who looked just like the actor himself. It's unclear who drew the picture, but the fact that Hardy deleted it, as well as the fact it featured the actor's likeness, would seemingly confirm that Carnage could be coming.
In the comics, Cletus Kasady is a pretty terrifying character. He's the spawn of the Venom Symbiote and a psycho killer (qu'est-ce que c'est) in every sense of the word. He's also the perfect villain for the Venom film, so if Fleischer et. al. were to lower the Symbiote quota for the film, Carnage would make up for it and then some.
