Venom: Let There Be Carnage is less than two weeks away, and it’ll see Eddie Brock’s (Tom Hardy) Venom return with Cletus Kasady’s (Woody Harrelson) Carnage up against him.
Directed by Andy Serkis, Let There Be Carnage takes place two years after the original Venom and will feature the Carnage symbiote.
Carnage and Venom are two different symbiotes, and to show these differences, the former needed to have different movements and feel to his overall look.
The official trailer revealed Carnage’s movements, design, and abilities, including sprouting spiked tendrils from his back that he can use to quickly move and stick to the walls like a lizard and morphing his body to let bullets pass through.
While speaking to IGN, Serkis explained how Carnage’s movement gave him different energy and how the team was able to achieve it,
In terms of Carnage himself, we trawled through every single comic which involved Carnage and looked at all the different ways he moved physically, the way that he was able to shapeshift, to manifest himself in different ways, and that’s was where we used performance capture to bring Carnage to life actually in the testing phase.
We brought on board parkour artists and dancers and then really experimented with the fluid way… We wanted a different way for him to move than Venom, and so we used their movements as a way of generating a kind of very… kind of twisted, malevolent, very different energy to the way that Venom moves and fights.
Serkis
The sequel received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA when previously fans were expecting an R-rating. Serkis further added, explaining why a PG-13 rating was necessary,
You could go down an R-rated adult version of this. Of course, you could. You could have done that with the last film. But we wanted to reach a big audience with this and… there are several rules you have to abide by. However, having said that, I think we have pushed to the very limits [with] the danger and darkness and the threat and the menace of Carnage.
Serkis
The director, however, assured that the film won’t be ‘shying away from the darkness.’
The film will follow Brock as he still struggles with being bonded with Venom; he tries to get back into reporting by interviewing Kasady, a notorious killer.
However, symbiote Carnage bonds with Kasady, causing murder and chaos that Venom and Eddie must attempt to stop.
After being delayed several times, Venom: Let There Be Carnage will hit theaters on October 1, 2021.
About Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Andy Serkis. A sequel to 2018’s Venom, it is based on the Marvel Character of the same name. Tom Hardy will be reprising his role as journalist Eddie Brock/ Venom and newcomer Woody Harrelson will play psychotic serial killer Cletus Kasady/ Carnage, in the second installment. Further cast includes Michelle Williams, Reid Scott, and Naomie Harris.
Venom ended with the symbiote destroying Carlton Drake, the symbiote Riot, and the Life Foundation’s spaceship. Thus the world was saved. In a mid-credits scene, Brock was invited to interview incarcerated serial killer Cletus Kasady, who promised “carnage” when he escaped. This was Woody Harrelson’s Carnage reference.
Now, the trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage teased the appearance of another symbiote Toxin through his host, Patrick Mulligan.
