10 Insane Facts You Didn't Know About Venom

3. The Movie Version Was Based On Jungle Cats And Drug Addicts

The big-screen Venom was completely and utterly disappointing. Despite that, however, all of the elements pertaining to his creation and performance on film sound like they should have worked, which makes the finished product all the more lacklustre.

From a visual standpoint, the animators from Sony Pictures Imageworks used jungle cats like tigers, cheetahs, and panthers as models for Venom€™s movements. It was an undeniably creative way to add a beast-like nature to the creature and make him come across as a monster.

On the other side of things, the horrifically miscast Topher Grace said he based his performance on drug addicts and alcoholics. This should have worked since Brock has often been depicted like an addict craving the symbiote. Grace had the right ideas in mind, but there was clearly far too many factors working against him for it to ever work.
