Carnage will finally come to the big screen in next year’s Venom 2. Woody Harrelson debuted as Cletus Kasady in the post-credits scene of 2018’s Venom, though the bonding of the serial killer and the symbiote was held off until the sequel. The good news though is that once he gets here, Carnage isn’t going anywhere, as we’re hearing that Sony has big plans for the villain beyond just the one movie.

Sources are saying that he is due to stick around for Venom 3, as well as several other projects set in the SUMC (Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters) after that. The news that Kasady will come back for the third movie makes sense, too, as it’s previously been reported that it’ll adapt the “Maximum Carnage” comic book arc.

Just as in the source material, I am hearing that the adaptation will feature Venom teaming up with Spider-Man to take on Carnage. This would mean that fans shouldn’t expect Tom Holland to show up as the wall-crawler in Venom 2, at least not in a prominent capacity, as the studio plans to hold off that big draw for the closer to the trilogy. But apparently, this won’t see the final defeat of Carnage, either, if he’s going to turn up in future films.
