The now certain possibility of a Venom movie and the inevitable expansion of the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe begs the question of whether the Venom movie will be a one off or the potential start of a new franchise featuring evryones favorite symbiote. Of course a series of Venom movies would be ideal, and the side-story has been delved into in enough detail in the comics to flesh out a trilogy of movies at the very least. The obvious way to do a Venom trilogy would be to feature the other symbiotes that have featured in the comics, and none is more well known Carnage.
When recently asked by IGN about whether Carnage or his human host Cletus Kasady (pictured above) would make an appearance in the planned Venom Movie both Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach were suprisingly vague with their responses...
Avi Arad: "What a great idea."
Matt Tolmach: "Exactly. The idea of Venom and Carnage… taking it into consideration. Watch out for this Venom movie. We are crazy excited."
WHO IS CARNAGE?
