Venom 2 Set Video May Hint at Cletus Kasady's Carnage Transformation
A new set video for Venom 2 hints at Woody Harrelson's serial killer Cletus Kasady transforming into the symbiote supervillain Carnage.
A new Venom 2 set video hints at Woody Harrelson's Cletus Kasady transforming into the symbiote supervillain Carnage. The Oscar-nominated Harrelson made his debut as Kasady during a mid-credits scene in the first Venom, when journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is invited to interview the incarcerated murderer. Harrelson's casting was seemingly meant to be a secret, but leaked well ahead of the film's release in October 2018. Upon learning the news about his involvement was already out there, Harrelson revealed his character - who was still a mystery at the time - would only be in "a little fraction" of the first Venom before potentially playing a leading role in the sequel.
Many fans were quick to deduce this meant Harrelson is playing Kasady (one of the better-known Venom villains in Marvel Comics), and the film would set the stage for Carnage to enter the picture in Venom 2. Sure enough, Harrelson was later confirmed to be reprising his role in the sequel, with Andy Serkis directing from a script by Venom co-writer Kelly Marcel. Now, just a day after Hardy revealed the first photo of Kasady in Venom 2, some leaked footage offers a tease of the character going full Carnage (albeit, without any CGI).
