As a film and pop culture enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by the evolution of characters on the big screen. When it comes to the Spider-Man franchise, there's a rich history of adaptations and spin-offs that have brought various storylines to life.

The character Venom, one of Spider-Man's most iconic adversaries, has been featured in a few films within the franchise. The first time Venom appeared was in "Spider-Man 3" (2007), where he was portrayed by Topher Grace. However, it's important to note that the character's portrayal in this film was not universally well-received by fans.

More recently, Venom has been given a more prominent role and a standalone film. The film "Venom" (2018) is a part of the Marvel Universe but is separate from the mainline Spider-Man films. It stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, the host of the alien symbiote that becomes Venom. This film delves into the character's origin and his relationship with the symbiote.
