Venom out October 2018!
Last month, Sony shared the first production photo on-set for their Venom movie. While both Sony and Marvel Comics have been quiet on concrete details, early information regarding the film’s plot surfaces. Director Ruben Fleischer re-confirmed that the Spider-Man adjacent cinematic universe project would not feature a Peter Parker appearance. He went to reveal with Collider that the movie will run on comic books: Lethal Protector and Planet of the Symbiotes.
The first marked Venom’s turn from ambiguous villain to full-fledged antihero; while the second forced Venom, Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider to team up and investigate a series of murders. Fleischer did confirm that the Venom film would take place in San Francisco, as well as planning a special main villain role for Carnage. Starring Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Reid Scott, Jenny Slate, and Scott Haze – look for Venom to open in theaters on October 5, 2018.
