20 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies
3. Venom
It remains to be seen just how much of a horror movie this Spider-Man spin-off will be - but the character of Venom, previously brought half-heartedly to life in Spider-Man 3, is a strong contender for the Marvel superhero's scariest adversary. And word is, studio Sony hope to duplicate the success of Logan and Deadpool by venturing into Hard-R territory with this dark comic book movie.
The movie has already gone a long way to winning the confidence of fans thanks to the casting of Tom Hardy in the lead as Eddie Brock, who merges with an alien symbiote to become the monstrous Venom. Little has been officially revealed plot-wise, but it is rumoured Hardy will play the role more as an anti-hero, at loggerheads with that other Spidey-like villain Carnage.
Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer calls the shots, and Michelle Williams co-stars as Anne Weying, Brock's better half (a figure of speech in this instance).
Release: 5 October
