Carnage

At this point, we believe that Carnage should be introduced in a sequel, because, barring Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, general audiences may not know who or what Venom is. So the first movie should focus on Venom and his back story.
This doesn’t mean that Carnage shouldn’t be teased in the first movie. There are plenty of ways Cletus Kasady could be introduced, no matter what story Sony decided to adapt in the first Venom flick.
Sure, Maximum Carnage should be considered for a Venom vs. Carnage movie. In the comic book, the supervillain recruits an army of his peers to take over New York, only to be stopped by Spider-Man, Venom, and other superheroes and anti-villains.
However, there are other storylines that could be adapted, even if it means removing Spider-Man.
