Even as Spider-Man fans look ahead to upcoming movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Morbius, the wild ride that is Venom: Let There Be Carnage isn't quite over.
IGN can exclusively debut an extended deleted scene — featuring unfinished visual effects — that didn't make it into the theatrical version. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is now on digital and arrives on 4K UHD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on December 14, 2021. The home entertainment release includes over an hour of special features, including bloopers, deleted scenes, Easter Eggs, and more.
Dubbed "Unholy Trinity," this clip offers a closer look at how Woody Harrelson's Cletus Kasady, Naomie Harris' Frances Barrison, and the Carnage symbiote formed a three-way pact of evil. Check it out in the video player above or embedded below:
This scene is set shortly after Kasady escapes death by lethal injection and frees his lover with the help of the Carnage symbiote. Here we get a better idea of the symbiote's plans for the world, as he wants to use his new allies to wipe out humanity and replace them with a new race of human/symbiote hybrids.
Clearly, that plan didn't work out for the symbiote. But as we've already explored, being dead doesn't necessarily mean that much for Carnage. Perhaps he'll be back to try again in a future sequel?
For now, we want to know what that surprising mid-credits scene means for Venom's future role in the MCU. The sequel also raised plenty of other WTF questions.
