The Venom 2 cast has started growing. Hot from a brilliant turn in Martin Scorsese's "twilight masterpiece" 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Irishman as Tony Pro, Stephen Graham has joined the super-villain s🦹equel. However, which comic-book character the actor will play remains a mystery as no deta🧸ils have yet been reported (per ).

We do know that Graham won't be the main antagonist of Venom 2. That honour goes to Woody Harrelson, who previously appeared as Cletus Kassady (better known as Carnage) in the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Venom post-credits scene. Reports have also circulated that Naomie Harris could be playi💞ng Spider-Man nemesis (and Cletus's lover) Shriek✱, though this remains unconfirmed. 

that they are considering making the sequel R-rated following the success of Joker. 

"I think you always have to think about [it], now that that works," he said. "Having said that, o𝔉ur movie worked really well. Our franchise exists as it is, and I don't think anybody is looking to just say, ‘Hey, they [did it]!’ We have a place in the world. So it isn't liꩵke suddenly everybody's considering what to do with the rating. 

"What Joker does is it tells you that you can succeed. For a very long time, that was the narrative. And Deadpool sort of wrestled that to the turf, and then Logan, but for a long time, that was considered totally forbidden. So you know, I think it's the greatest thing in the world th𒆙at R-rated movies are being embraced by massive audiences. And it just means that there are more opportunities for that kind of storytelling."

As yet, there's no word on whether Tom Holland will appear as Spider-Man in the movie. While that was not a possibility in the first Venom, thanks to a falling out – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and then recoupling – between Sony and Marvel, the web-slinger could feature in Venom 2. We sh🍬ould n🔴o more soon enough. Venom 2 reaches cinemas 2 October 2020.
