Venom Comic-Con Panel Reveals Riz Ahmed’s Riot & More! The Sony Pictures Venom Comic-Con panel was full of cool reveals, including the fact that Riz Ahmed is playing the character of Riot!
More recently, the Venom symbiote has been moving between hosts, including Mac Gargan (aka The Scorpion) and Peter Parker’s old high school rival, Flash Thompson.
The ensuing Riot symbiotes gave their hosts abilities akin to Spider-Man.
In the film the Riot symbiote is silver, and hosted by Drake himself.
