So far most of Venom’s cast has been identified, but there are still a couple actors whose roles are being kept secret, with Woody Harrelson arguably being the biggest question mark.
The general consensus since Spider-Man 3 dropped 11 years ago is that the movie’s depiction of Venom, which marked the character’s first live action appearance, was sorely lacking.
However, thanks to rumors and reports that have trickled in this year, as well as looking at Venom’s history, we think there’s a good chance that Harrelson is playing Cletus Kasady, a.k.a. Carnage.
Instead, the Venom movie is pulling from the smaller, but still meaty, mythology that that the eponymous character has carved out for himself, particularly the Lethal Protector and the Planet of the Symbiotes storylines.
