Venom 2 THEORY: Tom Hardy's teaser means Venom will LOSE to Carnage in Marvel sequel

The specific roles the nemeses fulfilled in the post could mean Venom is set to lose to Carnage when they go head-to-head in the second film, hence Carnage’s delighted, victorious expression.

Ruben Fleischer’s Venom, which was released last year, originally teased the introduction of Carnage  in a end credits scene.

The scene saw Brock riding to San Quentin prison to interview a prisoner who turned out to be serial killer Cletus Kasady, AKA Carnage (played by Woody Harrelson).

Yet to adopt the moniker, the murderer told Brock: “When I get out of here, there’s going to be carnage.”
