Over time, the two became roughly equals as Carnage became the go-to bad guy for Venom to punch. Venom: Let There Be Carnage has hyped Carnage up as being out of Venom’s league and that was the initial push of the character. He was something so sinister and malevolent that both Spider-Man and Venom knew it was worth it to put aside their differences and take this creep down. Carnage was simpler because he was full-on evil and had no potential for redemption. Even when he was able to accept that Spider-Man was good, they couldn’t co-exist due to their different natures as vigilantes. Outside of his personal delusions and anger issues, he still claimed that he wanted to help the innocent and punish the guilty. Venom was a villain at the time, sure, but he was also on the border of becoming more. Since Carnage’s first appearance in 1992, the idea has always been to make a darker, scarier Venom. Carnage, Venom’s main villain, gets more fanfare by appearing in the sequel where our hero is fully formed. By letting Venom build himself up on his own, flanked by some rather mundane villains, it gave more meaning to Cletus Kasady showing up in the post-credits.

Much like how the Justice League movie decided to take its time by giving us Steppenwolf of all people, the first Venom movie had Carlton Drake (who hasn’t appeared in the comics since the early 90s) and Riot (the most forgettable of all of Venom’s comic children). The MCU Spider-Man has yet to meet an Osborn, guys like Thanos and Darkseid started out as ominous benefactors, and the existence of Heath Ledger Joker was merely a cliffhanger tease in Batman Begins. Doom, it’s a breath of fresh air when, say, Man of Steel only makes an Easter egg reference to Lex Luthor instead of going directly for that confrontation. When there are four different Fantastic Four movies, and they’re all about emphasizing Dr.
You can check out our Venom: Let There Be Carnage interview with Serkis in the player below.Something that impresses me with a superhero movie like Venom is when it doesn’t rush directly into the expected villain. So you have to shift gears and pour as much creativity as you can into that environment, knowing that you’re looking after that franchise for a particular time and then it will be passed on." I think we have to realise that it’s not ultimately an auteur experience. You have a piece of IP for a particular length of time. "Working for a long time as a director on those things, you’re a custodian. It's also hard to figure out why Sony set the stage for a meeting that never actually took place despite the movies being released just months apart.įor what it's worth, Serkis knows this is just the kind of thing that happens with big IPs. A news report with the unmasked Spidey just looking around didn't factor into No Way Home and, while it could have happened off-screen, it didn't feel natural. It was, in fact, so carefully chosen that it didn't make any sense. The "unspoken" is a reference to Spider-Man, of course, and the filmmaker would add that the wall-crawler's cameo "was very, very carefully chosen." "There were drafts which had more, a little more, of the other. "It was unsure as to the level of involvement that world would meet with our world," he attempts to explain.
The Venom sequel went some way in explaining why he might be among them due to the Symbiote telling Eddie it has hive knowledge across universes.ĭespite that big tease, there was no sign of Venom in the threequel, with only a mid-credits scene showing Eddie being sent back to his own reality (after leaving a piece of the symbiote behind).ĭuring a recent interview with GQ, Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis chose his words carefully when asked about the crossover. Spider-Man: No Way Home later cleared things up by revealing that Doctor Strange's botched spell had pulled everyone who knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man to Earth-616. Venom: Let There Be Carnage ended with a confusing post-credits scene that saw Eddie Brock seemingly transported into the MCU where he took an immediate interest in Spider-Man.
