The Venom 2 cast has started growing. Hot from a brilliant turn in Martin Scorsese's "twilight masterpiece" The Irishman as Tony Pro, Stephen Graham has joined the super-villain sequel. However, which comic-book character the actor will play remains a mystery as no details have yet been reported (per Deadline).
We do know that Graham won't be the main antagonist of Venom 2. That honour goes to Woody Harrelson, who previously appeared as Cletus Kassady (better known as Carnage) in the original Venom post-credits scene. Reports have also circulated that Naomie Harris could be playing Spider-Man nemesis (and Cletus's lover) Shriek, though this remains unconfirmed.
In follow-up Venom 2 news, producer Matt Tolmach recently revealed to Joblo that they are considering making the sequel R-rated following the success of Joker.

Our franchise exists as it is, and I don't think anybody is looking to just say, ‘Hey, they [did it]!’ We have a place in the world. So it isn't like suddenly everybody's considering what to do with the rating.
"What Joker does is it tells you that you can succeed. For a very long time, that was the narrative. And Deadpool sort of wrestled that to the turf, and then Logan, but for a long time, that was considered totally forbidden. So you know, I think it's the greatest thing in the world that R-rated movies are being embraced by massive audiences. And it just means that there are more opportunities for that kind of storytelling."
