Plot summary
An alien symbiote called Venom lives inside investigative journalist Eddie Brock and grants him superhuman abilities. Detective Patrick Mulligan asks him to speak to serial killer Cletus Kasady at San Quentin State Prison, because Cletus will talk to no one else. After the visit, Venom works out where Cletus hid the bodies of his victims, and Eddie's account of the case revives his career. Eddie then forbids Venom from devouring criminals, which upsets Venom. Convicted and sentenced to death by lethal injection, Cletus invites Eddie to witness his execution, where Cletus bites Eddie's hand and swallows part of the symbiote. Back home, the two argue over Venom's freedom, and Venom leaves Eddie's body.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Some filming in San Francisco was affected by The Matrix Resurrections, which had already taken roads needed for driving scenes; helicopters used to film Matrix sequences are visible in the background of a scene in the Venom sequel, which uses dialogue to explain them as police helicopters searching the city.
- Fleischer wanted Woody Harrelson for the role, feeling there was a natural connection between the character and Harrelson's performance in Natural Born Killers (1994), and asked him while the pair were discussing a sequel to their film Zombieland (2009).
- Harrelson was initially reluctant to provide the voice for Carnage and wanted Serkis to perform it instead, but Serkis encouraged him to find the right tone for the character.
