20th July 2018 - Riot Revealed as Villian
Fleischer warned that the visual effects were unfinished, but the footage still teased an impressive number of stunts and action scenes — including several scenes where Hardy’s Venom faces off against another symbiote. Fleischer later revealed that this villain was Riot, a parasite who can leap from person to person. At one point, Venom and Riot rip each other apart to reveal Eddie and Carlton Drake underneath. “You never know where Riot’s going to show up,” Fleischer teased.
Also, he added, Riot may not be the only villain to pop up in Venom.

12th December 2017 - Woody Harrelson in Talks to Join Cast
Woody Harrelson may become entangled in Venom's web.
The actor is in talks for an undisclosed role in Venom, the Tom Hardy-led Spider-Man offshoot from Sony.
If a deal is made, it would mark a reunion for Harrelson with helmer Ruben Fleischer, who directed the actor in the hit 2009 zombie comedy Zombieland. Venom is already deep into production — filming began in October — and rumors of Harrelson's involvement have swirled on-and-off.

19th July 2017 - Envisioned as a Spin on Horror; More Details
Sony also isn’t interested in producing just conventional comic-book movies. It sees “Venom” as a spin on a horror film, for instance, while director Gina Prince-Bythewood likens “Silver & Black” to buddy films such as “Thelma & Louise” and “Midnight Run.”
For “Venom,” Sony has tapped director Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”) to bring the menacing arachnoid to the masses. In the comic books and the film Venom is hatched after reporter Eddie Brock (Hardy) bonds with an alien symbiote — a union that gives him deadly powers. “I’ve always been drawn to the more antihero superheroes,” Fleischer says. “There’s a dark element to [Venom] and a wit that has always appealed to me.”
Fleischer says the film will deal with Venom’s origins and with the Jekyll and Hyde relationship Brock has with the alien symbiote. “They become almost a third being, which is what Venom is,” Fleischer says. “There’s a famous quote: ‘You’re Eddie Brock. I’m the symbiote. Together we are Venom.’”
Panitch says “Venom” will draw on the work of John Carpenter or David Cronenberg while promising “more pop and fun.”

21st June 2017 - Carnage Will Be Apart of the Spinoff
As for the expansion plans, Tom Hardy is starring in Venom, dated for Oct. 5, 2018, which will also feature the villain Carnage.
Other projects will focus on Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio. The idea, says a studio source, is to build out a world gradually rather than launch one immediately, as they had been trying with Spider-Man villain ensemble Sinister Six, which has been shelved.

5th March 2016 - Spider-Man Spinoff 'Venom' Being Developed at Sony
Sony has tapped Dante Harper to pen a script for Venom, something that is being envisioned as a franchise apart from and unrelated to the upcoming Spider-Man movie in the works with actor Tom Holland.
Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, among stewards of the Spider-Man properties, are producing and overseeing the project.
Venom is one of Marvel’s top villains and a Spider-Man fixture since he was introduced in 1988, created by writer David Michelinie and artists Todd McFarlane and Mike Zeck. The character is an alien symbiote that need a human host to survive. In return, the alien empowers its victim with incredible powers.
For the longest time, Venom was a villain but then morphed into an anti-hero and even (almost) good guy. In his current incarnation, Venom is paired with Flash Thompson, a Peter Parker bully-turned-close friend and now a government agent.
