9 Big Predictions About Sony’s Spider-Man Universe

When word broke of Michelle Williams entering talks to join Venom, multiple reports suggested the role she was in line for was that of Ann Weying, Eddie Brock's ex-wife.

The evidence seems to add up since Williams's character has been described as a "district attorney" and the protagonist's love interest, which sounds like Weying.

In Marvel Comics lore, Venom's ex-wife is eventually bonded by the symbiote and takes on the identity of She-Venom, and this is something the movie will likely explore, though not necessarily right away.

Seeing Williams, an actress who is largely known for her intense dramatic roles, transform into a goo-covered anti-heroine is too big of an opportunity to spurn, but this is most likely to happen towards the end of the film as a potential sequel setup.

Weying's story is pitch dark in the comics. Horrified by the acts she committed in symbiote mode, she takes her own life. While a She-Venom outing is a possibility in the SpiderVerse's future, the suicide arc is too bleak for a superhero blockbuster.
