Venom Movie Trailer

Eddie Brock, who in the comics was a photographer, becomes Venom after bonding with a Symbiote. Venom, conceived as a super villain, became somewhat of an anti hero. A Symbiote is a sentient alien, with a gooey, almost liquid-like form. With any real-world symbiotes, it requires a host, usually human, to bond with for its survival. After bonding, the Symbiote endows its enhanced powers upon the host. When the Symbiote bonds with a human, that new dual-life form refers to itself as “Venom”.
