Love it or hate it, Sony’s Venom movie that was released last year wound up being a huge financial success. Having grossed $855 million worldwide and receiving an 81% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s probably fair to say most viewers enjoyed it to some extent. Conversely, it didn’t do so well with critics, but that did nothing to stop the hype train.
But if both sides of the aisle can agree on anything, it’s that the titular character was portrayed much better than he was in 2007’s Spider-Man 3 – and that Tom Hardy was a better casting choice than Topher Grace. In fact, producer Amy Pascal firmly believes the leading man’s involvement was one element crucial to finding a winning formula:
“It’s a couple of things. One of them is that Sony did a great job creating that franchise and giving it a life and giving it its own world.
