Variety reports that Reid Scott is the latest actor to be in talks to join the cast of Spider-Man spinoff Venom. The actor is best known for starring in Veep but has recently appeared in Home Again opposite Reese Witherspoon and will be seen next in Under the Eiffel Tower. Who is he playing? Unfortunately, the trade makes no mention of that but he could be an interesting choice for Cletus Kasady/Carnage!

Ruben Fleischer is directing Venom from a script by Scott Rosenberg (Jumanji), Jeff Pinkner (The Dark Tower), and Kelly Marcel. The cast includes Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams, and Jenny Slate.

The trade notes that while Spider-Man won't appear in Venom, "the door [is] open for Venom to possibly appear in other 'Spider-Man'-related pics." The movie is set to be released on October 5th, 2018. What do you think about this latest casting addition? Share your thoughts in the usual place.

Not Carnage, just a doctor in the lab where I assume the Symbiote is being held

I have since learned Riz owns the lab and is described as an Elon Musk type.

So let's use a Carnage picture in every article revolved in a casting of a male actor because there's no other characters they could be but Carnage even though the article never mentions Carnage....
