Lock Eyes with the Teaser Poster for New VENOM Movie Starring Tom Hardy

The alien Symbiote from the Spider-Man universe will stalk the screen in a new Venom movie this October, and ahead of the first trailer's reveal tomorrow, Sony has unveiled a teaser poster for the Tom Hardy-starring movie.

Unveiled on Facebook, the Venom poster comes with the caption "Tomorrow", hinting at the release of the film's first trailer.

In Venom, Tom Hardy stars as Eddie Brock, a man who becomes linked with an alien Symbiote that turns him into Venom, one of the ultimate villains in the Spider-Man universe. Although Venom and the Symbiote have a big influence on Spider-Man in the Marvel comic books, this film is expected to take place outside of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, which includes the recent appearance by the web-slinger in this year's Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) directed Venom from a screenplay by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, with Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal on board as producers. In addition to Hardy, Venom stars Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Reid Scott, and Jenny Slate.

Venom / Eddie Brock was previously portrayed by Topher Grace in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, and the character first appeared on the paneled page in 1988's The Amazing Spider-Man #300.

Venom is scheduled to come out in theaters on October 5th of this year from Sony Pictures. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for the new trailer and check out the poster below!
