Digging Deeper
In Venom, a journalist named Eddie Brock has been trying to take down the notorious founder of the Life Foundation, genius Carlton Drake – and that obsession ruined Eddie’s career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Anne Weying. Upon investigating one of Drake’s experiments, the alien Venom merges with Eddie’s body, and he suddenly has incredible new superpowers, as well as the chance to do just about whatever he wants. Twisted, dark, unpredictable, and fueled by rage, Venom leaves Eddie wrestling to control dangerous abilities that he also finds empowering and intoxicating. As Eddie and Venom need each other to get what they are looking for, they become more and more intertwined — where does Eddie end and Venom begin?
Venom is directed by Ruben Fleischer and stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist who becomes the host of an alien symbiote that imbues him with super-human abilities and a horrific alter-ego: “Venom”; Michelle Williams as Anne Weying, a district attorney and Eddie’s girlfriend; and Riz Ahmed as Carlton Drake, a genius inventor and leader of the Life Foundation experimenting on the symbiotes.
The film will be released in the United States on October 5, 2018.

The featured image in this article is a poster for Venom. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, Sony Pictures Releasing, the publisher, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment, or the graphic artist. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user’s understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item. As film poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. All Marvel characters and the distinctive likeness(es) thereof are Trademarks & Copyright © 2018 Marvel Characters, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States.
