Venom is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel
Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association
with Marvel and Tencent Pictures. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is
the first film in Sony's Marvel Universe, adjunct to the Marvel Cinematic
Universe (MCU). Directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Scott
Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel, it stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock /
Venom, alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott. In Venom,
journalist Brock gains superpowers after being bound to an alien symbiote whose
species plans to invade Earth.
Sony
began developing a Venom film after the character made his cinematic debut in Spider-Man
3 (2007). After various iterations, work on a new version began in March
2016, with the intention of starting a new shared universe featuring those
Marvel characters to which Sony possessed film rights; Sony also intended for
the film to share the world of the MCU's Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017),
but ultimately distanced Venom from the Spider-Man character. Rosenberg
and Pinkner were set to write, with Fleischer and Hardy added in May 2017.
Principal photography began that October in Atlanta, before moving to New York
City and San Francisco. The film was primarily inspired by the comic miniseries
Venom: Lethal Protector (1993) and story arc "Planet of the
Symbiotes" (1995).
Venom was released in the United States on October 5, 2018, to
generally negative reviews from critics for its script and inconsistent tone.
However, some praised Hardy's performance and the chemistry between Brock and
Venom, and the film went on to be an unexpected box office success, becoming
the fifth highest-grossing film of 2018 with over $852 million worldwide and
setting several box office records for the month of October. A sequel is in
development.
Sinopsis
While exploring space for new
habitable worlds, a probe belonging to the bio-engineering corporation Life
Foundation discovers a comet covered in symbiotic lifeforms. The probe return
to Earth with four samples, but one escapes and causes the ship to crash in Malaysia.
The Life Foundation recovers the other three and transports them to their
research facility in San Francisco, where they discover that the symbiotes cannot
survive without oxygen-breathing hosts, which often fatally reject the
symbiosis. Investigative journalist Eddie Brock reads about these human trials
in a classified document in the possession of his fiancée Anne Weying, an
attorney preparing a lawsuit defense for the Life Foundation. Brock confronts
Life Foundation CEO Carlton Drake about the trials, leading to both Brock and
Weying losing their jobs. Consequently, Weying ends their relationship.
Six months later, Drake's symbiosis
trials are closer to success, though one of his symbiotes dies due to
carelessness. Brock is approached by Dora Skirth, one of Drake's scientists who
disagrees with his methods and wants to expose him. She helps Brock break into
the research facility to search for evidence, and he learns that an acquaintance
of his, a homeless woman named Maria, is one of the test subjects. Brock
attempts to rescue Maria, but the symbiote possessing her transfers to his body
without him realizing, leaving her dead. Brock escapes and soon begins
displaying strange symptoms. He reaches out to Weying for help, and her new
boyfriend, Dr. Dan Lewis, discovers the symbiote on examining Brock. Drake
exposes Skirth to the remaining captive symbiote, which ultimately dies. This
leaves the symbiote inside Brock as the only known surviving specimen.
Drake sends mercenaries to retrieve
the symbiote from Brock, but it manifests around his body as a monstrous
creature that fights off the attackers. It later introduces itself to Brock as Venom,
and explains that the comet is searching for planets where the symbiotes can
possess and devour the inhabitants. Venom offers to spare Brock if he helps the
symbiotes achieve their goal, and Brock comes to enjoy the superhuman
attributes that the symbiote imbues him with. Brock breaks into his old
workplace to turn in evidence of Drake's crimes, but is surrounded by SWAT officers
and is forced to transform to escape. Weying witnesses this transformation and
takes Brock back to Lewis's office, where they explain that the symbiote is
slowly rotting Brock's internal organs. Brock notes that the symbiote has two
weaknesses: high-pitched noises and fire. Although Venom claims that the organ
damage can be prevented, Weying uses an MRI machine to help Brock separate from
the symbiote. Brock is then captured by Drake's men.
Meanwhile, the fourth symbiote, Riot,
makes its way from Malaysia to San Francisco by hopping from body to body. It
bonds with Drake, who agrees to take Riot in a Life Foundation space probe to
collect the rest of the symbiotes and bring them to Earth. Weying reluctantly
bonds with Venom so they can free Brock. When Brock and Venom are bonded again,
the latter states that he has been convinced to help protect the Earth from his
kind through his interactions with Brock, and the pair attempt to stop Riot and
Drake with Weying's help. Venom damages the probe as it takes off, causing it
to explode and kill both Riot and Drake. Weying believes Brock is no longer
bonded to Venom after this, and that Venom also died in the explosion. However,
the pair remain secretly bonded and set out to protect San Francisco by killing
criminals.
Brock also returns to journalism, and
in a mid-credits scene he is invited to interview incarcerated serial killer Cletus
Kasady, who promises "carnage" when he escapes.
