10 Fun Easter Eggs In Venom That You Might’ve Missed

There’s Gonna Be Carnage

The first of Venom‘s two post-credits scenes take Eddie Brock to San Quentin prison where he’s looking to interview convicted serial killer Cletus Kassady, played by Woody Harrelson in a hilariously outrageous red wig. Fans will know that the murderer becomes the host of Carnage, Venom’s “son” in the comics. Sure enough, the movie can’t end without a little hint at what’s to come, as the last line of the scene features Cletus warning Brock that when he gets out “there’s gonna be Carnage.”

In the comics, Eddie Brock is Kassady’s cellmate at Ryker’s Island until the symbiote returns to him to break him out of jail. Venom’s actually pregnant at this moment, though, and leaves its spawn in the cell to bond with Kassady, creating Carnage. There’s no hint that Venom’s eating for two in the movie, but putting Eddie and Cletus in the same cell together definitely recalls the character’s origins on the page.

As you might think, the intention of this scene is to tease Carnage’s role in a sequel. After all, Woody Harrelson’s confirmed that he’s expected to return if a Venom 2 is greenlit. Which, going by the box office numbers, it probably will be.
