In an attempt to reignite his career, he interviews incarcerated serial killer Cletus Kasady (Harrelson) for an exclusive exposé, but when Kasady becomes conjoined with a much more dangerous symbiote named Carnage, and promptly escapes prison to wreak havoc in his new form, it is up to Brock and Venom to try and find a way to work together if they are to have any chance of defeating their new enemy…
