  • - Venom 2, Spider-Man, and Carnage details revealed?

  • Despite the rumors last week that Disney

  • might try to outright buy the film rights

  • to Spider-Man and his world of characters from Sony,

  • it appears this is not stopping Sony

  • from moving forward with their plans

  • for the next chapter in the Venom series.

  • New details are emerging about the goo man's sequel

  • that should have any fan of the old web-head

  • crawling up the walls in excitement

  • because it involves two of Venom's

  • biggest comic book nemesis over the years:

  • Spider-Man and Venom's gooey offspring, Carnage.

  • So let's break down all of the news right now.

  • To start things off, of course, we knew

  • that Carnage was a foregone conclusion

  • based on how he was teased out for the Venom sequel.

  • During Venom's mid-credit sequence,

  • Eddie Brock visits the prison holding the future host

  • of Carnage, the serial killer, Cletus Kasady,

  • played by Woody Harrelson in one of the most outrageous wigs

  • known to man, which is an obvious set up

  • for Carnage appearing in a sequel.

  • However, beyond that, nothing else was really known,

  • but thanks to a new report from Deadline,

  • not only will Carnage appear in the Venom sequel,

  • but Carnage's girlfriend, Shriek, will also face off

  • against Venom as well.

  • Now if you haven't dragged out your long boxes

  • in awhile, Shriek AKA Frances Barrison,

  • made her first appearance in Spider-Man Unlimited #1

  • back in 1993 as apart of the Maximum Carnage storyline,

  • which saw various villains allied with Carnage

  • as they ran amuck murdering people in New York.

  • Shriek has the ability to manipulate sound waves,

  • which definitely will put her at an advantage

  • when fighting Venom.

  • While in the comics, she is a mutant,

  • Sony will have to most certainly retcon that part

  • of her backstory.

  • So what can we infer from this?

  • - I don't know. - Well, we don't yet

  • think Venom 2 will be an adaptation of Maximum Carnage

  • since that would be introducing two many heroes

  • and villains for one film, especially since Sony

  • still has yet to fully flesh out their universe

  • of Marvel characters.

  • However, we could see parts of the story

  • making it into the new Venom film

  • with Carnage and Shriek teaming up

  • to take down our favorite symbiote

  • and his host, Eddie.

  • And by lightly introducing the character in this sequel,

  • it would help set up a Maximum Carnage event for Sony

  • that they could then pay off later

  • with a massive team up film

  • in the vein of an Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame.

  • But from Carnage's chaotic evil,

  • we head to the other end of the alignment chart

  • with the new rumors regarding Spider-Man's appearance

  • in the next Venom film.

  • While doing press for Zombieland: Double Tap,

  • the director of the first Venom, Ruben Fleischer,

  • had this to say to Fandom about the possibility

  • of Eddie Brock and Peter Parker finally meeting

  • in a Venom film: "That's where it's going to lead.

  • "And that's the exciting thing because we changed the origin

  • "of Venom, in the comics, he evolved from Spider-Man

  • "but because of the Marvel-Sony thing,

  • "we weren't able to do that.

  • "And so the thing I think it's building towards

  • "and will be exciting to see

  • "is when they actually do confront each other."

  • While Fleischer is not directing Venom 2,

  • that's falling to Andy Serkis, Fleischer setting up Venom

  • for Sony does mean he has a pretty good idea

  • of what direction Sony wants to take the character,

  • and of course, Sony wants the biggest characters

  • they own the rights to to face off ASAP

  • to really cement their universe of Marvel characters.

  • Well, what better way than to debut Spider-Man in Venom 2?

  • However, we really can't see Spider-Man

  • playing a huge role in the second Venom flick.

  • The goo guy's got a lot on his plate

  • between Carnage and Shriek, and debuting too many characters

  • at once could water the whole thing down.

  • It's more likely that Peter Parker will appear

  • in a cameo role to tease out a confrontation

  • in a later film down the line.

  • Perhaps, Pete's visiting colleges out on the West Coast

  • and briefly gets embroiled in a fight

  • involving Venom and Carnage.

  • Then, he swings away into the sunset,

  • leaving their paths to cross again in the future.

  • Since Venom 2 is rumored to be coming out in 2020,

  • and we know Holland's Spider-Man will still appear

  • in two upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films,

  • this certainly puts Kevin Feige's quote

  • about Spider-Man having the power

  • to jump between universes in a new light.

  • Not only will he eventually switch universes entirely

  • from the MCU to Sony's universe of Marvel characters,

  • but it appears likely that for a time,

  • he could appear in both simultaneously.

  • We'll just have to wait and see exactly how Spider-Man

  • will be integrated when Venom 2 hits theaters next year.

  • But what do you folks think?

  • Do you wanna see Spider-Man in Venom 2?

  • Are you excited to see Carnage and Shriek

  • team up against Venom, and who has the worst wig

  • in comic movie history: Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady,

  • Nick Cage as Johnny Blaze, Kate Mara as Sue Storm,

  • or Jessica Alba as Sue Storm?

  • Let's discuss.
