Maximum Carnage is created by a group of people, including Tom DeFalco, Mike W. Barr, Terry Kavanagh, Ron Lim, Jerry Bingham, and Mark Bagley. Shriek first makes an appearance in the comic Spider-Man Unlimited #1 in May 1993. Shriek is born under the identity of Francis Barrison, who is a drug dealer.

Venom’s Director Comments
Director of the first movie Venom, in a recent interview, reveals the origins of Venom. Ruben Fleischer says, “The exciting thing about Venom is the change in the origin story. In the comics, Venom evolves from Spider-man, but Marvel-Sony tussle led to changes in the plotline. But it will be fascinating to watch a face-off between Spider-Man and Venom.”
Andy Serkis will direct the sequel with Tom Hardy returning as our antihero, Eddie Brock aka Venom. Michelle Williams plays his estranged wife, Anne Weying. Harrelson returns as Cletus Kasady, the serial killer who bonds to the Carnage symbiote, after debuting in the role in the mid-credits scene in Venom.
