Venom appeared in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, and should be an integral villain for the Spider-Man being set up in the MCU.
The origin of Venom and the symbiote have changed over the years in the books, but the design — basically a sleek, black and savage spin on Spider-Man’s look — has remained consistent.
So, what is this Venom movie?
But seeing as how this Venom news only came from Sony, and not from Marvel, we have to assume that this will have nothing to do with Tom Holland’s version of the web-slinger… which is odd.
