In case there was any remaining doubt, Woody Harrelson’s Carnage is officially coming to the Venom-verse.

That news is hardly a surprise, as the character AKA serial killer Cletus Kasady made a mid-credits appearance in 2018’s Venom.

“When I get outta here… and I will… There’s gonna be carnage.”

Now, the latest buzz surrounding the Marvel Comics baddie involves its name… in the brand-new title for the upcoming second Venom movie.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the folks at Sony Pictures have announced that the Venom sequel will formally be released as Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Even as that subtitle seems suitably silly for the over-the-top world conjured in the original film, it’s also proving divisive. Just minutes after Sony made the big announcement, Venom fans the world over took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the Let There Be Carnage subtitle with some showing serious love for the choice, and others hating everything about it.

Unsurprisingly, fans on the “hating” side of things aren’t being particularly kind to the subtitle. User Primate_X bluntly tweeted:

“Why do these movies have such dumb subtitles? Just name it Venom 2 and be done with it.”

Another offered her own subtitles for the sequel.

Others have noted that “Let There Be Carnage” sounds more like a tagline than a title, while one Twitter user said that the title is “so dumb” and another wrote that it, quote, “sounds like a SNES game and not a good one.”

Twitter reactions to the Venom sequel’s official title weren’t all negative, however. User LIZZIEMAXIMOFF professed her love for the title. She tweeted:

“Venom: let there be carnage is such a good title I’m shaking.”

Y’know, it’s that kind of positivity that rejuvenates our faith in fandoms!

“Your world is not so ugly after all. I’m almost sorry to see it end.”

While the hot online debate about Venom 2’s official title is sure to continue burning in the coming days, Sony’s announcement came with a tinge of legitimate bad news as well. The studio confirmed that Venom: Let There Be Carnage has been delayed from its planned October 2, 2020 release date. Keep watching the video to see how Venom 2’s official title has Marvel fans scratching their heads.

Who is Carnage, and how does he fit into the world of Venom and Spider-Man?

The much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 movie “Venom” has finally been given an official title, but it’s not exactly what fans were expecting. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” was announced as the name for the upcoming film, leaving Marvel fans scratching their heads.

The confusion comes from the fact that Carnage is actually a character from the Spider-Man comics, and is not typically associated with the Venom character. In the comics, Carnage is the alter-ego of Cletus Kasady, a psychotic serial killer who becomes bonded with an alien symbiote similar to Venom.

While it’s unclear how exactly Carnage will fit into the plot of the new movie, it’s safe to assume that he will play a major role. Actor Woody Harrelson has been cast as Kasady/Carnage, and he briefly appeared in a post-credits scene in the first “Venom” movie.

Despite the confusion over the title, Marvel fans are still eagerly awaiting the release of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” The first movie was a surprise hit, bringing in over $800 million at the box office. Fans praised the film’s humor and the dynamic between Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom and his alien symbiote.

There is also speculation that “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” could potentially tie in to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sony Pictures, which owns the rights to the Spider-Man and Venom characters, has collaborated with Marvel Studios in the past. The two companies worked together on the recent Spider-Man movies, which saw fan-favorite character Venom teased in the post-credits scene of “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”

Overall, while the official title of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” may be a bit confusing for some Marvel fans, there is still plenty of excitement surrounding the upcoming movie. The continuation of Eddie Brock’s story and the addition of the fan-favorite villain Carnage are sure to make for a thrilling ride when the film eventually hits theaters.
