Carnage shrugs off bullets in Venom 2 behind the scenes video

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Spy pics and videos of Woody Harrelson filming VENOM 2 on the streets of San Francisco have been surfacing online, which may be confusing to some fans, since Tom Hardy made an Instagram post – which was quickly deleted, like so many of Hardy's posts are – saying VENOM 2 was wrapped two weeks ago. Well, as it turns out, Hardy was celebrating the fact that the sequel was finished filming in London, but there were still scenes left to shoot in San Francisco. A good portion of those scenes seem to deal with Harrelson's character Cletus Kasady.

Kasady is a serial killer who becomes the symbiote-coated villain Carnage, but from the spy pictures I've really been struck by how much he resembles Jerry Van Dyke in the sitcom Coach. The face, the body language, it's uncanny. I've never made the Woody Harrelson – Jerry Van Dyke connection before.

It looks like Kasady already has the aid of the symbiote in the scenes being filmed, because that Hawaiian shirt he's wearing isn't enough on its own to allow him to shrug off bullets the way he does in the spy videos embedded below.

VENOM 2 is directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, which Hardy apparently worked on as well. Hardy is reprising the role of journalist Eddie Brock, who becomes the anti-hero Venom when coated with an alien symbiote of his own. He and Harrelson are joined in the cast by Michelle Williams as Eddie's wife Anne, Naomie Harris as Carnage's accomplice Shriek, and Stephen Graham, who may be playing Detective Patrick Mulligan.

The film doesn't have an official synopsis just yet, but it's scheduled to reach theatres on October 2nd.
