The upcoming ‘Venom‘ spin-off film is the first in what Sony Pictures hopes to be a series of films set in the “Spider-verse” which will give Spider-Man characters their own films. Tom Hardy will star as Eddie Brock in this version of the popular Spider-Man character which has not been seen in 11 years. The character first appeared on the big screen in the Sam Rami directed Spider-Man 3 (2007). We have yet to see a glimpse of what the character will look like this time around and there has not been any footage or synopsis released, but we do finally have a poster to add to the official photo that was released earlier this year.
Sony Pictures has released a poster for the film and it at least gives us a logo for now.
The film is currently due to hit theaters October 5 but the poster just displays the month of the release.
Joining Tom Hardy in the film will be Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, and Woody Harrelson. Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s Tom Holland is rumored to appear in the film. Ruben Fleischer is directing Venom which was written by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle writers Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg.
