Venom - Carnage (Carla Hunger) - Funko Pop! (654) - (Pop In A Box)
Carla Unger was a researcher working for Morse Laboratories, who was investigating a sample of the Carnage symbiote provided to Morse by Spider-Man. When analyzing a fraction of the sample, she received a phone call from her abusive husband, Will. The tissue sample reacted to her hatred of him and entered her body through her left eye. Carla burned the rest of the sample and left to her house, as she was being waited for by Will.
Upon returning home, Carla went to her bathroom since she felt ill. As Will aggressively talked to her from the other side of the door, the Carnage symbiote influenced Carla into killing Will. She then attacked the facility of Morse Laboratories and escaped to a gasoline station outside the city, in which the symbiote left her for a new host after having consumed Carla from the inside out. With this new host, Carnage killed Carla.

Carnage is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually depicted as an adversary of Spider-Man and the archenemy of Venom. The character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #361 (Apr 1992), and was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagley, although the first published artwork of Carnage was penciled by Chris Marrinan.
Carnage belongs to a race of amorphous extraterrestrial parasites known as Symbiotes, which form a symbiotic bond with their hosts and give them super-human abilities. Originating as an offspring of Venom, Carnage is much more powerful than his parent symbiote because of the symbiotes' biology, and is in many ways a darker version of him. Like Venom, Carnage has had multiple hosts over the years, but his most famous one remains his first, serial killer Cletus Kasady, whose sadistic personality perfectly matches that of the symbiote. Other hosts include Ben Reilly, Karl Malus, and Norman Osborn.
Since his conception, the character has been featured in various media adaptations, including films, television series and video games. Carnage made his cinematic debut in his civilian identity, Cletus Kasady in Venom (2018) played by Woody Harrelson, appearing in the post-credits scene and will reprise the role as the main antagonist in the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021). In 2009, the Cletus Kasady version of Carnage was ranked as IGN's 90th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is an upcoming American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Venom, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel and Tencent Pictures. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is intended to be the second film in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters and the sequel to Venom (2018). The film is directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, based on a story she wrote with Tom Hardy who stars as Eddie Brock / Venom alongside Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham, and Woody Harrelson. In the film, Brock tries to reignite his career in journalism by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady (Harrelson), who becomes the host of an alien symbiote similar to Venom named Carnage.
Venom was intended to be the start of a new shared universe, and plans for a sequel began during production on the first film. Harrelson was cast to make a brief appearance as Kasady at the end of Venom with the intention of him becoming the villain Carnage in the sequel. Official work on the sequel began in January 2019, with Hardy and Harrelson confirmed to return along with Marcel as writer. Serkis was hired as director that August, partly due to his experience working with CGI and motion-capture technology which was an important part of portraying Venom and Carnage in the film. Filming took place at Leavesden Studios in England from November 2019 to February 2020, with additional filming in San Francisco in February. The title was announced in April 2020.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2021, and then in the United States on September 24, after being delayed from an initial October 2020 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
