So Carlton Drake is Riot now?


I just read on Wikipedia that Carlton Drake is also Riot, one of Venom's evil children symbiotes (and presumably the lead villain of the film.) I knew Drake was the progenitor of the symbiotes in this movie, but based on one of the trailers I recently saw, I assumed the long-haired man in the cell being covered in the symbiote while others watched was going to be Riot, aka: Trevor Cole. Cole was Riot in the comics, and I personally have not heard any confirmation from the producers or actors that Drake is indeed Riot. I Also read on another site that the character Shriek is also going to be in the film, played by Michelle Lee, who I believe is the woman doing the voiceover in the first full trailer about the symbiotes talking to Eddie. Has anyone gotten confirmation about any of this?

Assuming we’re not being mislead... I’m positive this shot confirms that, yes, Carlton Drake (as played by Riz Ahmed) will be riot in this adaptation.

A few of the TV spots
have shed light on this as well. It’s a possibility that Carlton won’t be the first to turn into Riot... the symbiote might get rid of Cole (or something along those lines) and then attach itself to Drake at the end. But the head of the life foundation could be the only Riot we see.
