Venom 2 star Tom Hardy has shared a photo of Woody Harrelson as serial killer Cletus Kasady in the upcoming, potentially R-rated, Venom sequel.
The actor took to Instagram on Monday to offer fans a first glimpse at his villainous co-star, dressed to fluoresce, wearing brightly-coloured threads and a solid skull-like necklace. The character’s comics-accurate red hair also appears to have had a tidy chop since Venom’s mid-credits scene.
Hardy captioned the behind-the-scenes snap with two simple words: “Hello Cletus.”
Fans were introduced to Harrelson’s Carnage alter-ego in Venom’s mid-credits scene, as Eddie Brock visited San Quentin State Prison to speak to the locked-up killer. With his intense gaze locked on Eddie, Cletus vowed that there would be “carnage” when he escapes the penitentiary.

According to reports, Shriek is set to join forces with the deranged inmate once he breaks free, with Naomie Harris in talks to play the supervillainess, who is a frequent ally and lover of Carnage in the comics, and one of the main antagonists of the popular “Maximum Carnage” crossover storyline.
Venom 2 will also see Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams reprise their roles as Eddie Brock and Anne Weying, respectively.
