A highly talented cosplayer has just delivered one of the most epicCarnagecosplays to date, proving that Sony’s decision to spotlight the villain inVenom: Let There Be Carnagewas a stellar choice. What makes this cosplay even more noteworthy is its genderbending of Carnage’s typically male form into a female version, resulting in a portrayal that is nothing short of brutally epic.
McClung has truly stunned with both her Venom dress and Carnage cosplay.
Cosplayer and artist Grace McClungtook to Instagram to showcase her jaw-dropping transformation intothe Venom villain Carnage. With over 33 years of comic history, Carnage has been a key figure in Spider-Man and Venom lore for decades.
His prominence grew even more with his live-action debut in the 2021 filmVenom: Let There Be Carnage, where CGI helped bring his chaotic symbiote physiology to life on the big screen. McClung’s portrayal, however, is even more impressive—capturing the character’s distinctive look using nothing but traditional costume creation, with no CGI or editing needed.
Cosplayer Debuts Epic Carnage Costume With MASSIVE Scythe Arm
Carnage Cosplay Brings to Life the Symbiote’s Shapeshifting Abilities
One of the most impressive and unique abilities of a symbiote is its capacity to shapeshift, transforming its physiology into various forms, including weapons. This shapeshifting ability is so dynamic that multi-billion-dollar companies like Sony rely on CGI to replicate it for high-quality live-action portrayals. However, Grace McClung has proven that she has matched and perhaps even exceeded Sony’s Carnage portrayal with costume creation and special effects makeup alone. Not only did she capture the character’s likeness, butshe also brilliantly replicated Carnage’s shapeshifting abilities, turning her arm into a massive symbiote scythe.
In addition to the towering scythe,McClung incorporated Carnage’s signature black symbiote tendrils, which sprouted from her back, arms, and legs in varying sizes. This creative placement of tendrils gives the impression that her symbiote suit is alive. What enhances this effect is McClung’s bare face, with only the symbiote skin creeping along its edges, creating the illusion that she is in the midst of a full transformation. Her vibrant amber contacts further contribute to this illusion, elevating this cosplay into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
