Venom Movie Villains: All The Symbiotes Confirmed So Far

Sony’sVenommovie introduced spectator to the threat of the symbiotes ; but who are these atrocious beings ? The symbiotes are an exotic race originating from the planet Klyntar , who bond with host organism for sustenance . on-key mutualism come out to only be potential if the legion ingest enough solid food to keep their body running during the first few hour after they bond . But earlier or later , the symbiotes ' insatiable appetites lead to every world running out of potential foods , and they ’re forced to seek another planet .

TheVenommovie loosely adapts theLethal Protectorcomic bow , which saw Eddie Brock and Venom going up against the sinister Life Foundation and their hideous experimentations . The results of those experiments were the Five Symbiotes : Riot , Scream , Agony , Lasher and Phage . develop from " seeds " collected from the parent Venom symbiote , each had their own distinct powers ( weapon arm , attack pilus , other very XC pose ) .

Naturally , Venomtakes tremendous liberties with the concept - and it does n’t even include all five of the symbiotes . Here ’s your guide to all the symbiotes insert in the movie .

Riot

First up , there ’s the film big bad;Riot . squad leader of the symbiote scouts sent to Earth , Riot is the most hefty of all the symbiotes we ’ve discover to date . He has a proclivity for jumping from boniface to host in the movie , just like in the comics . Riot ’s goal is to establish a bridgehead for a fully - fledge symbiote invasion of Earth , and he does n’t care how many he kills so as to accomplish that goal ; indeed , he rather seems to enjoy the bloodshed . The symbiote takes on a figure of hosts in his deadly quest , most notably Donna Diego , an EMT in Asia . That name will be familiar to any funny book reader , given it ’s the real name of another symbiote host in the comics , Scream .

Phage

Although Riot escape , a number of symbiote samples were still obtain by the Life Foundation . This yellow symbiote is probably Phage , who ’s traditionally deliver as a yellow / orange . Phage does n’t survive the Life Foundation ’s experimentation .

Toxin

The other symbiote alongside Riot , Scream and Phage is a blue and gold one , which - as initially picture in theVenomtrailer- was set loose on unwitting mental test theme . Not only is this coloring distinct from the others in the film , it also does n’t equal up with any of the Five Symbiotes from the comics ( Riot has a downhearted - ish tint but , as established , here is more pure ash gray ) . It looks to be the Toxin symbiote , a better - known grapheme than any of the Five - and , ironically , in the comics the only symbiote to become a trusted superhero ally of Spider - Man .

Venom

Of naturally , we have the Venom symbiote itself - the whizz of the moving picture . It turn out that Venom is generally viewed as something of a " failure " among his own people , and frankly was quite delighted to get away from the rest of his fellow symbiotes . Where the eternal rest of the symbiotes search to overlook , Venom strives for true symbiosis , and truly value his hosts - to the extent that he betrays his people for save humanness . Venom ’s sense of morality , of course , is very different to our own ; there ’s no sense that he really cares too much whether he prick the heads off skillful or bad multitude . Still , he ’s willing to accept Eddie Brock ’s limitation , albeit with good - natured muttering .

Carnage Isn’t In Venom (But His Host Is)

Venom ’s post - credits sceneintroduces viewers to Cletus Kasady , the sequent slayer who ’s destined to hold fast with another symbiote and become Carnage . According to director Ruben Fleischer , " The purpose or the ambition was to show that there are leg for the franchise in that a fan dearie rent alone represent by Woody Harrelson would be something we could look forward to in the future tense . “Sony discover Kasady ’s backstoryin their display at New York Comic Con , and it ’s every bit as scarey as you ’d look for a grisly villain who takes an almost orgasmic joy in battue . We can take over that massacre is the baddie of the inevitableVenomsequel .

TheVenommovie only introduced us to a handful of symbiotes , but we know there ’s an entire comet full of them on its way to Earth . The advance scouts have been repelled , but the main invasion effect is still coming - set up a thrilling terror forVenom 2 .
