As far as who might play the Marvel villain, it’s been speculated that Woody Harrelson could be the actor doing it, and it’s also been reported that Riz Ahmed was initially playing Carnage, but isn’t any longer.
Some are skeptical about the movie because it won’t be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Venom’s creator, Todd McFarlane, has hope for the movie – because of Hardy:
“It’ll be interesting. I’ve seen some movies of his where he can bring anger and a wide personality to it. To me, I think Tom Hardy’s going to be as good as whatever Venom looks like. We all know Tom’s going to act. He’s going to do a good job. So now what’s Venom gonna’ look like? It’s an R-rated movie, how “R” are they going to go? To me, that’s the question. Are they going to go a “little bit R”? Venom’s a monster to me, and to me – are they going to make him a monster or are they going to make him a man? Are they going to humanize him? That’s what we gotta’ find out.”
Venom hits theaters on October 5, 2018.
