<P> Meanwhile, the fourth symbiote, Riot, makes its way from Malaysia to San Francisco by hopping from body to body . It bonds with Drake, who agrees to take Riot in a Life Foundation space probe to collect the rest of the symbiotes and bring them to Earth . Weying reluctantly bonds with Venom so they can free Brock . When Brock and Venom are bonded again, the latter states that he has been convinced to help protect the Earth from his kind through his interactions with Brock, and the pair attempt to stop Riot and Drake with Weying's help . Venom damages the probe as it takes off, causing it to explode and kill both Riot and Drake . Weying believes Brock is no longer bonded to Venom after this, and that the symbiote also died in the explosion . However, the pair remain secretly bonded and set out to protect the city by killing criminals . </P> <P> Brock also returns to journalism, and in a mid-credits scene he is invited to interview incarcerated serial killer Cletus Kasady, who promises "carnage" if and when he escapes . </P> <Ul> <Li> Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom: An investigative journalist who becomes the host of an alien symbiote that imbues him with super-human abilities and a violent alter - ego: Venom . Director Ruben Fleischer said that unlike a werewolf or Jekyll and Hyde, the relationship between Brock and the symbiote is a "hybrid", with the two characters sharing a body and working together . Hardy was drawn to this duality, and compared the two characters to Ren and Stimpy . He gave each a distinctive voice: an "aw - shucks American accent" for Brock; and a "James Brown lounge lizard" - like voice for Venom, that was "modulated to sound more sinister". Hardy called Brock an antihero who would "do whatever he has to" to accomplish a goal . Hardy planned to use performance capture to portray Venom, but this idea was abandoned due to the difference between his face and the character's . </Li> <Li> Michelle Williams as Anne Weying: A district attorney and Eddie's ex-fiancée . Williams was excited at the prospect of her character becoming She - Venom in the future, and Fleischer felt that it would be fun to give fans an Easter egg of this by briefly showing She - Venom in the film . This was kept a secret until the release of the film, and Flesicher hoped that the positive response to the appearance would lead to more She - Venom in future Venom films or even a standalone She - Venom film . </Li> <Li> Riz Ahmed as Carlton Drake / Riot: A genius inventor and leader of the Life Foundation experimenting on the symbiotes . Ahmed explained that Drake is trying to save the future of humanity when he discovers the symbiote, with Fleischer adding that Drake has a positive goal but a "moral ambiguity" that leads to him testing his science on other people . Drake is eventually bonded to another symbiote known as Riot, which Fleischer described as "a body - hopper". </Li> <Li> Scott Haze as Roland Treece: Drake's head of security . </Li> <Li> Reid Scott as Dan Lewis: Anne's new boyfriend, a doctor who tries to help Eddie . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom: An investigative journalist who becomes the host of an alien symbiote that imbues him with super-human abilities and a violent alter - ego: Venom .
