While Tom Holland might be playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for now, Sony Pictures is still building their own universe centred around the various characters from the comic books by themselves. The first part of that universe comes in the form of the Venom standalone film that will begin production later this year in anticipation for its release date of October 5 next year.
But who will play the titular character? Well, Sony has announced via Twitter that Tom Hardy will be playing Eddie Brock/Venom in the movie, even throwing in the below image of the actor posing in a Venom shirt.
How do you feel about the choice?
