All Confirmed Symbiotes In Venom Movies Explained:- Sony Pictures’ Venom franchise has introduced several symbioses. From 2018’s Venom to 2024’s Venom: The Last Dance, Earth has been home to many symbiotes seeking human hosts to survive and bond. The most recognised is the Venom symbiote that mated with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock, although most are darker and more lethal.
All Confirmed Symbiotes In Venom Movies Explained
Symbiotes, from Klyntar, devour worlds and bond with organic hosts. The Life Foundation sent symbiotes to Earth in 2018’s Venom, but more have since appeared. Here are all confirmed Venom symbiotes and those anticipated to appear in Venom 3.
Venom Is Introduced In The 2018 Movie
The black and white symbiote known as Venom, the most prominent symbiote in Sony’s Venom trilogy, crashes into Earth with three other symbiotes that the Life Foundation had imprisoned. After the symbiotes are transported to laboratories in San Francisco, journalist Eddie Brock, who had broken into the facility, finds Venom there.
After becoming close to Eddie, Venom and Brock have a perfect symbiotic relationship. After becoming allies, the two faced Carlton Drake, the CEO of the Life Foundation (Riz Ahmed), who had developed a link with Riot, another symbiote. Riot is stopped from returning to Klyntar by venom, which also stops other symbiotes from invading Earth.
As a Lethal Protector team, Brock and Venom solely consume criminals in an effort to evade capture by law enforcement. But in the end, Venom gives birth to a child that unintentionally finds its way to serial killer Cletus Kasady.
Cletus and the new symbiote combine to form Carnage, which Venom ultimately vanquishes. Venom and Eddie, having been taken to the MCU by Spider-Man: No Way Home, are back home and will be evading capture, as the first Venom 3 trailer shows.

Riot Is The Villain Of The 2018 Movie
Riot was the sole symbiote that was able to escape confinement during the Life Foundation space mission. It is highly likely that Riot was the cause why the rocket landed in the wrong place. During the time that the other three symbiotes were sent to the laboratories in San Francisco, the silver symbiote went through a lengthy process, developing relationships with hosts that were not perfect until it ultimately formed a partnership with Drake.
As well as having a mutual goal of bringing additional symbiotes to Earth, Riot and Drake were also adversaries of Brock and his new symbiote, who had made the decision to remain on Earth and guard it. In spite of this, Riot and Drake take their own lives while they are aboard the rocket that Venom destroys at the conclusion of the first Venom movie.
Carnage Is The Villain Of Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Carnage makes his full debut in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which is set in 2021, after being hinted at at the conclusion of the first Venom film. In San Quentin, sociopathic serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) was scheduled to be executed for his crimes after Eddie Brock and Venom were able to determine through interviews where Kasady had buried all of his dead.
But shortly before his execution, Kasady’s blood gets contaminated by Venom’s offspring as a result of his last meeting with Brock. Kasady is saved and assisted in escaping from prison by this recently hatched red symbiote. Cletus reunites with his childhood sweetheart, Frances Barrison, also known as Shriek, whom he plans to marry, and together they become Carnage.
But a fight between Venom and Carnage demonstrates that there was a flaw in the symbiotic relationship between Kasady and the Carnage symbiote; as a result, Venom ate his Carnage progeny and bit Kasady’s head off.
Toxin Was Teased At The End Of Let There Be Carnage
Eddie Brock collaborates with Detective Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham), the chief investigator in the Cletus Kasady case, in Let There Be Carnage. As a result, Mulligan looks into Kasady’s past and whereabouts after he escaped from San Quentin, but he also suspects Eddie Brock of having secrets. Mulligan witnesses Carnage and Venom’s last fight at the cathedral, where Kasday hoped to wed Shriek, as the story comes to a close.
Mulligan is shown alive at the end of the film, albeit with glowing eyes, despite the fact that it was previously thought that Shriek had killed him during the fight. The 100th child in Venom’s lineage and the spawn of Carnage, Toxin, finds his first human host in the comics in Patrick Mulligan. This suggests that Toxin was probably stronger and more potent than the typical symbiote.
Therefore, given that Mulligan’s eyes are still glowing in the Venom: The Last Dance trailer and that he is being held by a new military group that appears to be tasked with the capture and study of symbiotes, it appears that he will indeed host Toxin in live action. These spoilers also hint at the conclusion of Let There Be Carnage.
Life Foundation Symbiotes (Yellow/Blue)
In addition to Venom and Riot, the Life Foundation also discovered a yellow and a blue symbiote, with which they conducted ongoing experiments on rabbits and the homeless as test subjects. Perfect symbioses were never attained, though. The yellow symbiote, which was never identified on screen, has been identified by many as Phage from the comic books; nevertheless, it perished since it was unable to find a suitable host.
Likewise, this applies to the blue symbiote (perhaps Agony). Even when the blue symbiote bonded with Jenny Slate’s character, Dr. Dora Skirth, it was also denied a suitable host.
The Government Has Captured Several Symbiotes In Venom 3
Several symbiotes have already been seized by this new scientific/military organisation, as evidenced by the first Venom: The Last Dance teaser. This includes the portion of Venom that, according to No Way Home, was supposed to have been abandoned in the MCU. Pictures from the teaser give the impression that four to six symbiotes—each with a unique color—are contained.
In light of this, it’s plausible that these symbiotes will develop into the deadly quartet of Agony, Phage, Lasher, and Scream from the comics that featured the Life Foundation in the beginning. Ultimately, the blue and yellow symbiotes from the first Venom were never given names on screen when they were at the Life Foundation. Having said that, they might just be entirely new symbiotes unrelated to the original comics.
Venom’s Symbiote Homeworld Invades Earth In Venom 3
Venom informs Eddie that his home has found them during a scene in the Venom: The Last Dance teaser where a number of things are getting ready to crash into Earth from orbit. This implies that additional symbiotes are headed towards Earth, which is what Venom and Brock attempted to stop when they eliminated Riot in Venom (2018).
But perhaps Venom and Eddie will have to battle with something lot more deadly and far terrible first. Venom encounters an enormous, multi-legged monster with many rows of teeth atop an aeroplane that resembles a Xenophage from the original comic books rather than a more conventional symbiote.
A Xenophage was an alien predator that preyed on symbiotes with the intention of devouring their hosts’ brains in comic books. Therefore, this would definitely raise the stakes for Venom: The Last Dance beyond just Brock and Venom needing to battle another evil symbiote, as they did in the first two Sony films.
