He's a comic character that probably shouldn't have gone past his first story in 1988. Really interesting, but limited. I would imagine he'll be even less interesting in the movie because there's no Secret Wars/"costume tries to absorb Spider-Man" Plot here.
shareNegative! The 1993 Lethal Protector series, which this film will be heavily inspired by, arguably told Eddie Brock and Venom’s best+most interesting story. That’s a fantastic series that happened to be a major turning point for Venom/Eddie.
You might’ve lost interest, but to me and many other Venom fans, there have been numerous fascinating and cool Venom stories told long after his debut (Funeral Pyre & Separation Anxiety to name a few). Plus it’s worth noting that the symbiote has “venomized” nearly every Marvel hero throughout the years, so if that isn’t interesting, then boo. Regarding his solo film, the WAY I SEE IT... Tom Hardy in the trailer looks like he will be portraying an intense and multi-dimensional character. The character deserves his stand-alone film, as far as I’m concerned.
Update: Venom #1 was released this year, and I’d be damned if that wasn’t an interesting Venom story. Brilliant issue!
