Venom Movie Cast Stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock
Cast: Tom HardyDirector: Ruben FleischerWriter: Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg
After news broke that Sony were planning a Venom solo movie, talk quickly turned to which version of the character we would see and who would play him. Though many heroes and villains have worn the Venom Symbiote in the comics, Sony have chosen to go with Eddie Brock. The original Venom and the first to don the Symbiote after Spider-Man discarded it, Brock will be brought to life by venerable actor Tom Hardy (Inception, Dunkirk). The casting has already won praise from fans and assured many the film is on the right track.
Venom Movie Villain is Carnage
Despite being the protagonist of the film, Venom walks the line between hero and villain. Though he’s certainly helped fight larger threats, he remains firmly in Spider-Man’s Rogues Gallery. As such, the foe he faces in his first film will need to be even more dangerous than he is. Unsurprisingly, that villain will be Carnage. More than just Red Venom, the Carnage Symbiote and the serial killer that wears it are far more deranged than the film’s anti-hero. With a sadistic personality and powers Venom doesn’t have, Carnage will put Brock’s heroic side to the test.
Venom Movie Story
The story of Venom is still very much up in the air. We know Hardy will be Eddie Brock, meaning his background as a disgraced journalist could factor into part of the plot. We also know he’ll somehow encounter the Venom Symbiote, though its past connection to Spider-Man us unknown. Venom is also bound to spend considerable time on Kletus Cassady, as the Venom Symbiote births Carnage while the serial killer is in jail with Brock. Beyond that, we can only guess what story the film will tell.
Venom Movie Trailer is a Few Months Away
Word broke recently that Venom was heading to both Atlanta and New York to begin filming this September. As such, a teaser and full trailer will likely be on their way soon. Even before filming begins, we can probably expect Sony to put together a tease for next year’s film. Following that, fans will be anxious to see Tom Hardy finally in action as Venom in a full trailer. While October of next year is a ways off, we can likely expect a Venom trailer before 2017 is through.
