Actor
Jenny Slate is in talks to star in Sony's 'Venom' movie which features
Tom Hardy in the lead role.
Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed are also on board with Ruben Fleischer directing. According to the sources, Slate will play a scientist in the film. Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner and Kelly Marcel will write the script for 'Venom,' with Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach producing the movie.
Since its inception in 1988, the alien symbiote Venom has been one of 'Spider-Man's' most popular characters, making the film a top priority for Sony. Venom made his first big-screen appearance in
Sam Raimi's '
Spider-Man
3,' where he was portrayed by
Topher Grace.
The studio, however, has made it clear that Spider-Man will not appear in these stand alones but have left the door open for Venom to possibly appear in other 'Spider-Man' related movies. 'Venom' is set to hit theaters on October 5, 2018.
