![]() ![]() ![]() Please keep it in the back of your mind that, as multiverses collide and epic crossovers happen at a rapid rate, at some point Jared Leto is going to appear as a vampire. It should be noted as well that Tom Hardy, bless him, already has ideas for Venom 3. Things feel as concrete on that front now as they have in years, with versions of Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Sandman, and Electro all hovering around Spider-Man: No Way Home, a Kraven the Hunter movie confirmed at Sony with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead, and this Let There Be Carnage credits scene opening the door for Spider-Man himself to swing between studios. Eventually, Eddie Brock even became a temporary host of the Toxin Symbiote after Mulligan’s untimely death.Īll good fodder for the inevitable Let There Be Carnage sequel - but only if director Andy Serkis wants to get really weird with it.After that? The sky's the limit at this point, but recent reports hint that Sony's endgame for its Venom/MCU crossover is a Sinister Six movie, an idea that's been off-and-on for the studio since at least 2013. In the series’ finale, Mulligan and Toxin set off for a life of their own, leaving Mulligan’s wife and newborn child behind to keep them safe.įrom there, Mulligan and Toxin would share a semi-storied career - including a self-titled solo series exploring Toxin’s rare allyship with Spider-Man, its inability to live on its own like Venom and Carnage can, and its molding from childhood under Mulligan’s rules to never commit homicide, arson, or theft. ![]() ![]() Making friends of its own, however, Toxin got backup from Black Cat and Spider-Man (these things always come back to Peter Parker) in a winning debut against their parent and grandparent. Brock had to ask Cletus for a temporary truce so they could mutually address the growing threat to their lives. Risky indeed, as Toxin grew terrifyingly powerful inside Mulligan, surpassing Venom and Carnage in both strength and general gooeyness! Toxin had all of their symbiote powers and a number of extras, including fangs, toxic claws, and the ability to uncannily sense its enemies across the entire NYC metropolitan area. So they set out together to put an end to their goo-kid before it got a chance, followed throughout the series by a more sympathetic Venom who initially believed that Toxin could be a powerful ally.Įnter police officer Pat Mulligan who, in the series’ first issue, became an unwitting host for Carnage’s child after the parent Symbiote made a risky play to plant Toxin - so named by Venom - somewhere out of the way until an increasingly sick Cletus had recovered enough to come back and destroy it. Like the first movie, this one suffers from forced humor, shouting, and lots of noisy smashing. Symbiote children tend to be stronger than their parents, and Kasady and Carnage were incensed at the idea of anyone usurping their place. Parents need to know that Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the sequel to 2018's Venom, with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie, the reporter who's also host to a scary, fanged alien symbiote known as Venom (the character was originally an enemy of Spider-Man). In much the same way the Venom symbiote and its host, Eddie Brock, initially spawned Carnage (and the other symbiote characters who inspired the Life Foundation symbiotes in 2019’s Venom) Carnage’s pregnancy is part of an asexual process where a symbiote produces a child as a response to panic or threat. Carnage from writer Peter Milligan and artist Clayton Crain introduced readers to a “pregnant” Carnage who was preparing to spawn a symbiote child, one of a truly unmanageable number of different symbiote offshoots born in Marvel comics over the years. Carnage #1 (2004) Image: Peter Milligan, Clayton Crain/Marvel ComicsĪ four-issue miniseries, 2004’s Venom Vs. Who is Toxin and what does this have to do with Carnage? Well, as with all of the best Venom stories, it’s a comically convoluted but fun yarn about weird alien pregnancy, jealousy, and a lot of slime. Mulligan just so happens to share his name with the first host of the Toxin symbiote in Marvel’s numerous Venom spinoff comics. In his final scene, actor Stephen Graham shows off the glowing blue eyes of seemingly possessed police officer Pat Mulligan. Taking a hint from Venom’s late-act Carnage reveal via Woody Harrelson’s take on Cletus Kasady, the sequel sneakily debuts a very special new symbiote before the credits roll. Venom: Let There Be Carnage may look like it’s singularly focused on Venom and Carnage’s feud from the outside - but take a closer look at the film’s final tease and you’ll find that it’s secretly a big screen family affair. ![]()
