Ahead of Venom: Let There Be Carnage's release exclusively at UK cinemas from October 15, we caught up with director Andy Serkis to pick his brain about taking the helm of the Marvel sequel.
Without getting into spoilers, Eddie Brock's clash with Cletus Kasady definitely sets the stage for the former to become the Lethal Protector from the comic books fans know and love. While nothing has been confirmed just yet regarding a possible Venom 3, it feels like another big evolution is in the works for the character that makes this sequel even more of a must-watch for fans.
In the video below, we ask the filmmaker about Venom's desire to become a "Lethal Protector" and whether that's something he'd be excited to explore with the iconic anti-hero moving forward.
"For sure," Serkis tells us. "To arrive at that point, we needed to have this film to get those relationships cooking. I do think there’s huge fertile ground for Lethal Protector stories, definitely."
Heading down this route sets the stage for a much different take on Venom that opens the door to many new storytelling possibilities and villains (who aren't just symbiotes like Riot and Carnage). Needless to say, you'll have to watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage to see how Serkis manages to lay the groundwork for this evolution, and we'll have lots more to share with you on this one very soon.
