The Daily Bugle Tumblr has hinted that we might be seeing Carnage in a future Amazing Spider-Man movie.

The viral site, which acts as both a promotional tool for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 and as a teaser for storylines in future flicks, premiered this little story today via Yahoo:

KILLER KASADY CAUGHTBy Eddie BrockThe greater New York tri-state area got a whole lot safer yesterday. Captured late last night, Cletus Kasady, escaped serial killer and notorious redhead, was eerily calm and subdued when he eagerly surrendered to the FBI. The manhunt for the FBI’s Most Wanted felon ended innocuously in a small strip mall outside of New Rochelle, New York.A barista at a local coffee shop recognized Kasady and eventually called the police. The barista apologized to reporters later admitting she didn’t immediately alert authorities hoping Spider-Man would beat them to the scene. “What can I say? I am a HUGE fan.”Kasady had been sentenced to twelve life sentences for the twelve murders he committed — but escaped while being transported between federal prisons. Sources say Kasady has been remanded to Ravencroft Institute for further interrogation until he is relocated to a maximum security federal prison. While the barista didn’t get her wish, we know Spider-Man thanks her… as we all do. For now it appears that Kasady won’t be causing any more carnage.For starters, you'll notice that Eddie Brock 'wrote' this piece. Brock was a journalist at the Bugle before he merged with the Symbiote to become Venom, the iconic Spidey villain getting his very own spinoff movie. Then there's the mention of Cletus Kasady. Kasady, a convicted murderer, shares a jail cell with Brock and eventually gets infected with a Symbiote of his very own to become Carnage, one of Peter Parker's most terrifying and powerful villains. Recently, we noted that Carnage might appear in Activision's upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 game.So how would this psychotic figure fit into the Spider-Man cinematic universe? If Venom's spinoff casts him as an anti-hero - as has been done many times in the comics - Carnage would make the perfect antagonist. Alternatively, Carnage could appear on the Sinister Six spinoff's roster, although his only appearance on the supvervillain team to date has been in 2011's ill-fated musical Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark which isn't traditionally regarded as, er, canon.Or, this whole thing could be just a fun little tease that doesn't tie into anything. Still, speculate away!Spidey's next adventure, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, is out May 2 in the USA, April 17 in Australia, and April 18 in the UK. Check out what we thought of it.
