Everything We Know About Venom: The Villain, the Trailer, and More

Harrelson's involvement in Venom first bubbled up back in December, but now some new rumors about who exactly he'll be playing have surfaced. The actor is reportedly in talks to play Carnage, aka Cletus Kasady, according to Bleeding Cool. In the comics Cletus — a deeply twisted serial killer — first comes into contact with Eddie Brock when the pair share a cell in prison, which is how he also becomes infected with the alien symbiote. Given Cletus's already-disturbed nature, he becomes Carnage, a far more evil version of Venom.
