Riz Ahmed is currently in talks with Sony about a part in the upcoming Venom movie directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland).
Cletus Kasaday, aka Carnage has always been a fan favorite, and sources close to the project say that Riz Ahmed (Rogue One) has auditioned for the part.
Sony has yet to release an official statement, but again, sources claim that Ahmed is up for the Carnage role.
In addition to Rogue One, Ahmed has also recently been seen in Nightcrawler and The Night Of.
