Does Venomhave an end credits scene?young eroticism I don't know, does a turd in the wind roll down a street?

SEE ALSO: 'Venom' is hilarious, and I'm not entirely sure if it's on purpose

Actually, scratch that. Bad example. Nobody knows what a turd in the wind does because that's not a thing, Venom. Seriously, where did you get the idea that it was? Was it Eddie? Is that so-called journalist out there giving you fake news about what is or is not a commonly accepted phrase in the English language? I think he's pranking you, dude. You guys might need to have a talk about that.

Ahem. Anyway, where were we?

Oh, yes – of course Venomhas an end-credits scene. Two of them, in fact. Here's what you need to know about them.

1. Introducing Cletus Kasady, a.k.a. Carnage

What happens:Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist, visits San Quentin State Prison to interview an inmate. He's led down a long hall and into a big room with a single cage in the middle.

Inside is Woody Harrelson in a red wig that looks like it was stolen from a middle-school production of Annie. His name is Cletus Kasady. He speaks in a folksy drawl ("Do you mind if we forgo the whole serial killer thing?" he asks Eddie with disarming friendliness) and smirks with a creepy intensity.

"When I get out of here, and I will," Cletus tells Eddie calmly, "there's gonna be carnage."

What it means:"There's gonna be carnage" is meant to be taken quite literally. In the comic-book version of events, Kasady is a serial killer who bonds with Carnage, a symbiote offspring of Venom's. Think of it, basically, as a more evil version of the Eddie/Venom entity.

We don't yet know how the movie version of Carnage will differ from the source material (and it's worth keeping in mind that the movie version of Venom took a lot of creative license). But Carnage and Venom are enemies in the comics, so our best guess is that this scene is supposed to tease an eventual showdown between them.

Assuming Venomever gets around to a sequel, that is. Venomwas envisioned as the first entry in Sony's own Marvel universe, to be built around Spider-Man characters but not Spider-Man himself. (It is a separate continuity from Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is where Peter Parker is currently hanging out with the Avengers.) Other characters primed for the big screen include Morbius, Kraven, Mysterio, Silver Sable, and Black Cat.

But a lot of these plans will depend on the success of Venom. If it falls flat on its face, this could well be the first andlast we see of Carnage.

2. Venturing into the Spider-Verse

What happens:Spider-Man (Miles Morales) runs through New York with the Prowler in pursuit. Miles eventually makes his way to the cemetery, where he stops at Peter Parker's grave. A mysterious man comes up from behind and grabs his shoulder. Miles fights back, knocking the man out cold – and discovers that the man was Peter Parker himself.

Miles is confused as hell, but before he can process what's happening, the cops show up. Miles grabs Peter (who is still unconscious) and flees, using Peter's web shooters to soar through the city streets.

Peter comes to while they're still on the run. "Why are you trying to kill me?" he exclaims. "I'm trying to save you!" Miles responds. A few moves later, they fall to the ground in the middle of a busy crosswalk. "Maybe you guys can go around," Miles groans to the pedestrians. They do.

What it means:Basically, this is just a long clip from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. There's no indication that it's narratively connected to Venomin any way. However, the whole premise of Spider-Verseis multiple continuities colliding – so by that token, I guess it's possible Venomjust takes place in another one of those continuities.

Of course, in ourcontinuity, both movies exist, both movies draw from the same source material, and both movies are being released by Sony Pictures. So the one thing we know for sure is that Sony thinks the kind of person who'd go see Venomis likely to also be the kind of person who'd be interested in Spider-Verse. Which, fair.
