"Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Venom, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel and Tencent Pictures. It is a sequel to the 2018 film "Venom" and is part of Sony Pictures' Spider-Man Universe, which exists independently from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Andy Serkis and features Tom Hardy reprising his role as Eddie Brock/Venom.
**Plot:**
The movie continues to follow the story of Eddie Brock, a journalist who shares his body with the alien symbiote known as Venom. In this installment, Eddie struggles to maintain a balance between his own life and Venom's desires. However, their lives become even more complicated when they encounter Cletus Kasady (played by Woody Harrelson), a serial killer who becomes the host for another symbiote, Carnage.
Cletus Kasady, who becomes the monstrous Carnage, escapes from prison and embarks on a killing spree, while Eddie and Venom are drawn into the conflict to stop him. The film explores the conflict between Eddie and Venom, the deadly threat posed by Carnage, and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters.
