'Venom' opens at cinemas nationwide on Oct 4. Photos: Sony Pictures
Although Venom kind of belongs in the family-friendly Spider-Man universe, he is – admittedly – one of the darker characters to exist within it. In the comics, the liquid-like alien symbiote – that needs a host to survive, usually human – is one of Spider-Man’s nemeses.
On the big screen, audiences saw him in 2007’s Spider-Man 3 as played by Topher Grace. But with Tom Hardy’s Venom, the kid gloves are definitely off – what with it being a standalone film with no Spider-Man in the picture.
