We already know Columbia Pictures plans to do Venom and Sinister Six spin-off movies from the Amazing Spider-Man, but could the be planning a Carnage movie as well? The official
Daily Bugle Tumblr site as part of a viral campaign for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 posted an article about the arrest of Cletus Kasady who comic book fans know to be the identity of the homicidal maniac known as Carnage. The article was written by Eddie Brock who comic book fans know as Venom. Could this be a hint of things to come. Could Carnage who is an off-spring to the Venom alien symbiont costume be the villain for the upcoming Venom movie, or could the studio be planning on giving him his own solo film? Here is what the mock article said:
KILLER KASADY CAUGHT
By Eddie Brock
The greater New York tri-state area got a whole lot safer yesterday. Captured late last night, Cletus Kasady, escaped serial killer and notorious redhead, was eerily calm and subdued when he eagerly surrendered to the FBI. The manhunt for the FBI’s Most Wanted felon ended innocuously in a small strip mall outside of New Rochelle, New York.
A barista at a local coffee shop recognized Kasady and eventually called the police. The barista apologized to reporters later admitting she didn’t immediately alert authorities hoping Spider-Man would beat them to the scene. “What can I say? I am a HUGE fan.”
Kasady had been sentenced to twelve life sentences for the twelve murders he committed — but escaped while being transported between federal prisons. Sources say Kasady has been remanded to Ravencroft Institute for further interrogation until he is relocated to a maximum security federal prison. While the barista didn’t get her wish, we know Spider-Man thanks her… as we all do. For now it appears that Kasady won’t be causing any more carnage.
Neither Kasady or Eddie Brock are expected to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which opens in U.S. theaters on May 2 and only time will tell what specifically the studio has in store for Carnage and Venom. Would you like to see the two square off on the big screen?
