It looks like they're going with the story of Eddie Brock having cancer. There could be other reasons why he's in an MRI machine, but it seems like the Symbiote is the only thing that can save him, so he needs it to stave off the Cancer. I like it, adding that into the movie gives him much more purpose and conflicted feelings about it than just, "I hate Peter Parker for getting me fired from my job at the newpaper!" If that scene in the MRI machine is his first transformation, as it appears to be, it looks like it's going to be awesome. Especially since the machine isn't picking up the Symbiote until it reveals itself, or possibly the magnetic waves are causing the symbiote pain which causes Eddie pain, but yeah I wish we would've seen some tease of the suit being on him.

Venom and Gambit for me. As long as those are done properly, that's all I care about. I know Gambit is in development hell right now, so hopefully Disney can turn that around.

I haven't heard anything about a Gambit movie.

Channing Tatum was set to star in it, and I think it's gone through a director/writer or two or three. It's just sitting there right now.

EDIT - Found a recent article on it:

https://io9.gizmodo.com/channing-tat...ird-1821994640

At any given point in time, studios are juggling multiple projects in various stages of development. With some films, the path from inception to theatrical release is a straightforward one. But for others, like Gambit, the road’s... rocky. And that film has just lost its third director.

The Channing Tatum-led Gambit movie has been stuck in development hell for what seems like ages. Previously, directors Rupert Wyatt and Doug Liman were attached, but fans’ hopes were raised last year when word broke that Gore Verbinski was in talks to direct.

With a leading man, a script, and a director, it seemed as if Gambit might have finally been on track to hit theaters. But according to Deadline, Verbinski too is parting ways with the project just as quickly as he became involved. Wyatt exited the film because of scheduling issues, while Liman left to direct Warner Bros.’ Justice League Dark, which he then also left. Verbinski’s reason for leaving Gambit is also scheduling, since the X-Men franchise spinoff is still slated to come out on February 14, 2019.

Obviously, this is a rather major setback for Gambit, but it comes at a point in time when things are much funkier than anyone involved in the project probably ever imagined. Disney recently set plans in motion to acquire 20th Century Fox, meaning that whatever form Gambit is currently in would potentially belong to them. Unless Fox somehow manages to produce the film before the deal is finalized—it’s still unclear how projects already in motion will be affected—but it seems unlikely Disney would be particularly concerned with fast-tracking a film with so little to it (right now) in order to make that impossibly close deadline.

As utterly fantastic as it would be to see Channing Tatum with floppy hair and a Cajun accent, it’s looking like Gambit’s still long, long ways out.

Sym-by-oat

I'm intrigued....get definitely looks like Eddie and I love the way they refer to "we" and the look. Hope it is good...also Symbiote wasn't pronounced how I thought. Lol

it reminded me of Virtuosity where the head broad was mispronouncing tech lingo

this looks horrible lol.

agreed

I like Tom Hardy, but I'm not buying him as a journalist.

Also, I hope that's not the finished CGI, because it looks terrible.

Venom CGI face is certainly a bit of a let down...

Tom Hardy is already Bane.

He shouldn't be able to be someone else.

One celebrity, per villain/superhero.

Venom looks like he's made of plastic.

I’m still in. Should be fun, and can’t wait to see what Carnage looks like!

Too late on that front.
