Cletus Kasady (Sony's Marvel Universe)



"When I get out of here, and I will... there's gonna be carnage!"

- Cletus to Venom

Cletus Kasady is a minor antagonist in the critically panned 2018 film Venom. He is a notorious serial killer who is currently locked away in San Quentin Prison, where reporter Eddie Brock interviewed him after dealing with Carlton Drake. He is played by Woody Harrelson.

Past
Not much is know about Cletus Kasady aside from the fact that he has murdered countless people, starting with his own grandmother. He was apprehended sometime before the events of Venom.

Meeting Eddie Brock
Reporter Eddie Brock was on a motorcycle trip to San Quentin Prison to do an interview with a mystery convict to see if he will help the FBI identify more potential bodies. After receiving an ominous warning from one of the prison guards, the mystery convict is revealed to be Cletus Kasady. When Eddie enters his cell, Cletus writes "Welcome Eddie" with his own blood. During the interview, Cletus tells Eddie he can turn the serial-killer act on and off whenever he wants, though, and mocks the idea of waxing lyrical about the beauty of arterial spray. Afterward, Cletus boldly claimed he planned to break out of prison and unleash "carnage" upon society.
