Venom Movie: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

3. The Supporting Cast

Michelle Williams is one of the best actors going, so the fact she's trying her hand at a comic book film is more than enough reason to be excited for Venom.

A lead in Brokeback Mountain, Shutter Island and more recently All the Money in the World, Williams is a proven talent and one that elevates the film just by her presence alone. As for her role, she'll be playing a character called Ann Weying, Brock's onetime love and later Symbiote host herself. With the film holding such a reverence for the source-material, it would appear as though all of this will still be the case come October, with the potential for Weying to don a Symbiote of her own to set up a future film afterwards there as well.

Williams is also joined by Riz Ahmed (in what looks to be a villainous role), and that too is brilliant on its own. His performance as pilot Bodhi Rook in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a key highlight of that film, and with another franchise to his name, Venom looks to be yet another stepping stone in the actor's path to mainstream recognition, following a critically lauded bout in 2014's Nightcrawler.
