As far as Woody Harrelson’s role in the film is concerned, some rumors have suggested that he may be playing Cletus Kasady a.k.a Carnage (think Venom with a dash of The Joker thrown in for good measure), but it’s now looking like Harrelson won’t have a huge role in the first installment of this series regardless.
In his attempts to control the symbiote’s violent side, he commits himself to becoming an anti-hero and taking on bad guys who actually deserve it.
Venom centers its story on investigative journalist Eddie Brock, who finds himself fused with an alien symbiote that grants him superpowers and a nasty case of split personality.
