What is Columbia Pictures Venom?

Columbia Pictures' Venom is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Tom Hardy in the lead role, the film is set in the same universe as the Spider-Man films but is not directly connected to them.

The plot of the film follows Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy), a hard-hitting investigative journalist who finds himself accidentally bonded to an extraterrestrial symbiote named Venom. Eddie's life is turned upside down as he struggles to contain the powerful, often chaotic, entity within his body.

As the film progresses, Eddie finds that he must team up with Venom in order to take on a dangerous villain, Carlton Drake (played by Riz Ahmed), who is also experimenting with symbiotes in hopes of creating a new race of superhumans.

The film is an entertaining blend of action, comedy and horror, with Tom Hardy perfectly capturing the intensity and unpredictability of Eddie Brock. Meanwhile, the visuals of Venom and the other symbiotes are both dazzling and unsettling, creating a sense of visceral horror that will stick with the audience long after the credits roll.

Overall, Columbia Pictures' Venom is a thrilling ride that takes the superhero genre in a new direction while staying true to the core elements that make Spider-Man and his supporting cast so beloved among fans.
