Sony delays Venom sequel premiere by another month due to COVID-19 surge

Hardy will reprise his role as the titular anti-hero in Let There Be Carnage. He'll be joined by Woody Harrelson, who will take on the role of a serial killer, Cletus Kasady.

The sequel's story revolves around Brock's attempt to try and kickstart his dying career as a journalist, and he plans to do an exclusive interview with Harrelson's Kasady. Unfortunately, this ends badly for Brock. A series of events lead to Kasady becoming infected with his Venom alien symbiote to become Carnage.

In the Marvel comics, Carnage is depicted as a more powerful version of Venom. Often, Venom will ask for Spider-Man's help to deal with Carnage.

So far, the trailers we've seen of Let There Be Carnage appear to show that Sony has stayed true to Carnage's character from the comics. In one particular sequence, Venom can be seen reverting and hiding after coming face to face with Carnage.

What is interesting here is how Venom will handle Carnage in the sequel. Both Venom movies take place in an entirely different cinematic universe, so we can't exactly expect him to ask Spider-Man for help.
