Horror (and comic book) fans have been clamoring for a good look at the monstrous Carnage from the upcoming Venom sequel–and here it is.
The blood-hued villain is displayed in all his (its?) glory in a Twitter photo–seen below–of a statue recently planted at select IMAX theaters in China, as reported by comicbook.com. The attraction was set up in anticipation of the film’s Sept. 24 release.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage–a direct follow-up to 2018’s Venom–is directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel. The much-anticipated horror offering from Marvel stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock (aka Venom) and Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady (aka Carnage), as well as Michelle Williams, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham and Naomie Harris.
The Columbia Pictures film takes place more than a year after the events in Venom, as journalist Eddie Brock “struggles to adjust to life as the host of the alien symbiote Venom, which grants him superhuman abilities in order to be a lethal vigilante,” according to the synopsis.
Brock tries to kickstart his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, “who becomes the host of the symbiote Carnage and escapes prison after a failed execution.” Fans can only imagine how all this is going to play out.
The Marvel Comics character Venom was introduced as a living alien costume in The Amazing Spider–Man No. 252 (1984), with a first full appearance in issue No. 300 of that popular comic book. The Venom symbiote’s first human host was Spidey himself, who eventually separated himself from the creature.
