venom (2018)

 Venom is a 2018 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment,^[5] Tencent Pictures, Arad Productions, Matt Tolmach Productions, and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The first film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU), it was directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg and Kelly Marcel. It stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Venom alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott. In the film, struggling journalist Eddie gains superpowers after becoming the host of an alien symbiote, Venom, whose species plans to invade Earth.

After Venom's appearance in Spider-Man 3 (2007), Sony attempted to develop a spin-off film based on the character but it did not move forward due to issues with Sony's ongoing Spider-Man franchise. In March 2016, work began on a new version that would start a new shared universe featuring the non-Spider-Man Marvel characters that the studio possessed film rights to. Sony also intended for Venom to share the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), but ultimately distanced the film from Spider-Man. In March 2017, Rosenberg and Pinkner were set to write, with Fleischer and Hardy added in May. Filming took place from October 2017 to January 2018 in Atlanta, New York City, and San Francisco. The film was primarily inspired by the comic book miniseries Venom: Lethal Protector (1993) and the story arc "Planet of the Symbiotes" (1995).

Venom premiered at El Capitan Theater on October 1, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 5. Despite being negatively received by critics, the film became the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2018 with over $856 million worldwide and set several box office records for an October release. A sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, was released on October 1, 2021, and a third Venom film is scheduled for release on October 24, 2024.

Cast[edit]

• Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom:
  An investigative journalist who becomes the host of Venom, an alien symbiote that imbues him with super-human abilities.^[6][7][8] Director Ruben Fleischer said that unlike a werewolf or Jekyll and Hyde, the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote is a "hybrid", with the two characters sharing a body and working together. Hardy was drawn to this duality, and compared the pair to the animated characters Ren and Stimpy. Hardy gave Eddie an "aw-shucks American accent" while using a "James Brown lounge lizard"-like voice for Venom,^[9] that was later "modulated to sound more sinister".^[10] Hardy called Eddie an antihero who would "do whatever he has to" to accomplish a goal.^[8] Brad Venable provided additional voiceover for Venom's pain and grunting sounds, and his voice was combined with Hardy's for some dialogue, such as "We are Venom".^[11]
• Michelle Williams as Anne Weying:
  An attorney and Eddie's ex-fiancée.^[12][13] Williams was excited at the prospect of her character becoming She-Venom in the future as she does in the comics, and Fleischer felt that it would be fun to give fans an Easter egg of this by briefly showing the character host the symbiote during a scene in the film. This was kept a secret until the release of the film, and Fleischer hoped that the positive response to the appearance would lead to more She-Venom in future Venom films or even a standalone She-Venom film.^[14] Anne's line "I love you, but I love myself more" was added by Williams as a reference to the MeToo movement.^[15]
• Riz Ahmed as Carlton Drake / Riot:
  A genius inventor and leader of the Life Foundation experimenting on the symbiotes.^[7][8] Ahmed explained that Drake is trying to save the future of humanity when he discovers the symbiote,^[8] with Fleischer adding that Drake has a positive goal but a "moral ambiguity" that leads to him testing his science on other people.^[14] Drake is eventually bonded to another symbiote known as Riot, which Fleischer described as a "body-hopper".^[8]
• Scott Haze as Roland Treece: Drake's head of security.^[16]
• Reid Scott as Dan Lewis: Anne's new boyfriend, a doctor who tries to help Eddie.^[17]

Parker, is included after the credits.^[29]
