Sony’s Venom 2 has already added the villain Carnage to the film. Today, Deadline reported that there will another villain for anti-hero Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) to go up against, Shriek. Sony has declined to comment on the news.
During the credits of the Venom film, we got a peek at Carnage (Woody Harrelson), letting us know he would be the big bad of the sequel. Carnage is serial killer Cletus Kasady.
Shriek is Frances Barrison, a drug dealer with an abusive upbringing. Her traumatic life triggered her mutant powers which include sound manipulation, energy blasts and mind manipulation. Deadline reports that the Venom 2 will draw on Marvel’s Maximum Carnage saga for the character.
