Venom Movie: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

5. Seeing The Symbiote

Backlash to the new Venom teaser came because it didn't show off the Symbiote proper, but apart from the fact that it was a smart decision on Sony's behalf (why show off the monster in a first look?), it's also clear that, with the film leaning on the source-material so heavily, Venom is going to look like Venom.

That might sound like the bare minimum, but remember, Topher Grace's Brock still manages to linger even eleven years on from his debut, and he was the most un-Venom like thing ever.

It's unclear how Ruben Fleishcer's film will depict the title character onscreen, with a mixture of practical and computer-generated effects a likely choice, but fans won't pass on the opportunity to see a more faithful Symbiote regardless.

At the end of the day, the Venom film is still going to have Venom. He's both the hero and monster of the flick though, and to give that away early on wouldn't make that much sense at all.
