Woody Harrelson will reprise his role as the villain Carnage in the forthcoming Venom sequel, it has been confirmed.
The actor appeared as the serial killer in a mid-credits scene during 2018’s Venom movie and fans have been speculating about his return ever since.
Venom 2’s cinematographer, Robert Richardson, confirmed Harrelson’s involvement in the new film, telling Collider: “This film, I think, will… explode because you have a remarkable central character with Venom, but now you’ve got Woody Harrelson, who’s obviously going to make his own little entrance here.”
Andy Serkis is directing Venom 2 with Tom Hardy reprising the eponymous lead role. Michelle Williams is also returning as Anne Weying, Venom’s lawyer love interest.
Venom 2 will be released in cinemas in 2020.
