This latest cinematic Venom definitely wasn’t lacking in size, although his debut saw him using his power against fellow symbiote Riot rather than Spider-Man.
Todd McFarlane then briefly talked about the previous cinematic depiction of Venom: 2007’s Spider-Man 3, where Eddie Brock was played by Topher Grace.
The artist specifically designed Venom to be bigger to make it feel like Peter Parker was going up against an elephant and requiring the Web-Slinger to use brains over brawn to defeat said elephant.
In McFarlane’s opinion, that Venom “didn’t really add a lot of weight” because of his reduced size.
