History
On October 5th, 2018, Sony Pictures released the film Venom in the United States. During the film's post-credit sequence, the character Cletus Kasady, also known as Carnage, (portrayed by Woody Harrelson) appears on screen (shown below).
The following year, on August 5th, 2019, The Hollywood Reporter[2] announced that actor Andy Serikis had been hired to direct the film. That day, Serkis announced his hiring on Instagram. He wrote, "It’s actually happening. I can feel it, the Symbiote has found a host in me, and I’m ready for the ride…Can’t wait! Are you ready." The post received more than 55,000 likes in less than one year (shown below).
