The upcoming Venom movie is one that has quite a bit of interest – and quite a bit of comic book fans keeping their expectations in check, due to Sony’s history of comic book movies. We were given a pretty good trailer a couple of months back that let us know that if anything, the character will look great. A new image has backed that up.

The new look comes courtesy of EW.
As fans were saying, they did nail the look of the Todd McFarlane created character. With Tom Hardy on board, you have to think that he knew beforehand whether or not the movie would be worthwhile, so here’s hoping it is. As McFarlane told us back in October:
“It’ll be interesting. I’ve seen some movies of his where he can bring anger and a wide personality to it. To me, I think Tom Hardy’s going to be as good as whatever Venom looks like. We all know Tom’s going to act. He’s going to do a good job. So now what’s Venom gonna’ look like? It’s an R-rated movie, how “R” are they going to go? To me, that’s the question.
Are they going to go a “little bit R”? Venom’s a monster to me, and to me – are they going to make him a monster or are they going to make him a man? Are they going to humanize him? That’s what we gotta’ find out.”
Venom hits theaters on October 5th.
