So one of Spider-Man's most popular enemies just got his own movie: Venom . From Google: "Journalist Eddie Brock ( Tom Hardy ) is trying to take down Carlton Drake ( Riz Ahmed ), the notorious and brilliant founder of the Life Foundation. While investigating one of Drake's experiments, Eddie's body merges with the alien Venom -- leaving him with superhuman strength and power. Twisted, dark and fueled by rage, Venom tries to control the new and dangerous abilities that Eddie finds so intoxicating."
