A rumor circulated in February that Woody Harrelson would be playing Cletus Kasady (Carnage) in Sony’s forthcoming Venom movie, but that rumor circulated and sort of died off. Now, in an interview with Collider, Harrelson has confirmed his inclusion in the forthcoming Venom and, surprisingly, its as-of-yet-unannounced sequel.
The aforementioned rumor suggested that Carnage would be introduced at the end of the first Venom movie when part of the symbiote jumps from Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock to Harrelson’s Kasady during a prison sequence, and thus, Carnage is born—cue the follow-up.
Harrelson, speaking to Collider, all but confirms this by saying that he is barely in the first Venom movie and that his role is more prominent in the sequel. His role in the initial film is a glorified cameo that seems to be the all-too-familiar end of a super-hero movie stinger that entices fans to see the sequel whence it’s released.
