Cast This: Venom/Eddie Brock
Mar. 26, 2012
Recently, we reported that that Josh Trank, director of CHRONICLE may be the one to helm the Venom film. Though Trank's involvement is still a rumor, it proves that someone is still holding on to hope that this is going to get made.
So with that said, who do you cast as not only Venom, but the man inside the symbiote, Eddie Brock.
Upon first seeing Venom in the teaser trailer for Spider-Man 3, everyone was f*cking stoked. "Wow, this might actually go well..." could have been the thought of the collective viewers if all were asked to speak out loud.
Except, that didn't happen. We got Topher Grace and his cry baby bitch attitude.
Eddie Brock was pissed at Spider-Man when he pulled the rug out from under him on the unmasking of the Sin Eater in the Daily Bugle. Brock was then left to work for the gossip rags and his wife left him. Looking into a dim future, Brock took to some intense workouts and dedicated himself to destroying Spider-Man. He hated the guy. That's why the symbiote bonds with him so well. Brock/Venom are not merely minor footnotes. While I could dedicate this entire article to choosing where we pick up with Venom/Eddie (origin, after truce with Spidey/the anti-hero, Anti-Venom, etc), we've got to find out who can fill the symbiote and the shoes of Venom/Eddie Brock.

I could see this as being sort of a horror like movie. A nasa ship crashes in the middle of town except this movie has no spiderman. Its all about one guy trying to learn to control the horrifying monster he is slowly becoming. That would make for a pretty interesting movie.

Thomas Jane...
My second choice would be Thomas Jane. But I still think Hall would make for a terrific Matt Murdock/Daredevil or Scott Summers/Cyclops.

John Statham
Tom Hardy or Liev Schreiber
Does not matter

I don't feel that they need to find a brutus beefcake wrestler just to match the size of the character in the comics. They need to find a great actor who is able to jack
I don't feel that they need to find a brutus beefcake wrestler just to match the size of the character in the comics. They need to find a great actor who is able to jack up a bit. They can always make Venom grow bigger when he has the suit on. Tom Hardy would definitely knock this out of the park but he would never do a film like this and I wouldn't want him to. I really like the suggestion of the guy who plays Shane on Walking dead. He's a jacked dude and a great actor. He's great at playing conflicted anti-hero's which is exactly what this should be.
not that it matters...
