In Sony Pictures' Spider-Man spin-off Venom, starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, we at long last, get a quick glimpse of fan-favorite Carnage on the big screen. In the post credits of Venom, we saw that Cletus Kasady – psychopath, lunatic, serial killer, and madman – is played by Woody Harrelson, who we'll see more of in the anticipated release of Venom 2. But who else could have taken on the role?

He may already be associated with a comic property, but he was wearing a mask, for the most part (Rorschach in Watchmen). This guy is terrifying, has the look, and a great voice for the character.
Are they perfect for this role?- Watch Lockout. This guy nails the whole Cletus vibe. Plus, he's an unknown who looks positively crazy, which is perfect.Are they perfect for this role?
- It might be a bit of typecasting here, but Hall is the right age, hair color, and has the look. He has that distinct voice, a fan following, and yes, is no stranger to playing serial killers.Are they perfect for this role?

The shrill voice, the intensity, the build, the hair color, the sheer talent! This guy was made to play Carnage. He may be X-Men's Angel, but there's no telling if they're planning on using the character anytime soon. Also, let's throw down the Ben Affleck Daredevil/Batman card.Are they perfect for this role?- 1Leave No Trace17 Votes

- He might be a little too attached to The Dark Knight mythos, but just one look from this guy can put you on edge. He's played crazy well in the past, and with the right script, could make a great Carnage.Are they perfect for this role?
