'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Game: Carnage Confirmed in New Trailer
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game for various consoles will feature the vicious Carnage.

The new Spider-Man games are loosely based on the films. They feature completely different storylines and have villains in them that haven't appeared in any Spider-Man movie. The Spider-Man 2 game is available for the PS4, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Carnage might also make an appearance in a spin-off Spider-Man movie that tells the story of one of his worst enemies, Venom.
The creators of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" hinted at the possibility earlier this month after The Daily Bugle tumblr ran a story about notorious serial killer Cletus Kasady that was written by Eddie Brock.
For those unfamiliar with Spider-Man cannon, Kasady is the human vessel that the Carnage alien symbiote that came from Venom, or Eddie Brock, clings onto. Carnage is a product of Venom so featuring him the film will come as no big surprise.
IGN asked co-producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach about the possibility of this happening and Arad replied by saying "What a great idea." Tolmach elaborated stating "Exactly. The idea of Venom and Carnage … taking it into consideration. Watch out for this Venom movie. We are crazy excited."
Both of them expressed their confidence in the two major villains in Spider-Man lore.
"We did Venom in the U.K. as a special issue based on the '94 show: the three parter," said Arad. "And I think if you check the record book it was probably one of the best-selling videos. Way before DVD. Because the character is interesting. Even Venom is not- we call them villains, but he's really not a villain."
The Venom film will be directed by Alex Kurtzman and does not have a confirmed release date at this time.
