David Michelinie, the co-creator of Marvel’s Venom, recently shared his thoughts on the ideal actor to play Eddie Brock. Furthermore, he revealed who he believes would be perfect if the character returns to the big screen.
In a social media post on X, voice actor and content creator TheDoctorX11 shared details of a conversation with Michelinie. During their discussion, they focused on the possibility of casting the star of Reacher as Eddie Brock. Furthermore, Michelinie confirmed that he had previously considered this actor ideal for the role.
Michelinie said:
“I once posted pics of Ritchson — shirtless and one of him yelling — and said he’d make the perfect Eddie/Venom. So we’re on the same page.”
This statement highlights Michelinie’s enthusiasm for seeing this particular actor step into the iconic role. As a result, it has generated speculation and excitement among MCU fans.
Past Portrayals of Eddie Brock
Over the years, Eddie Brock has been brought to life several times in live-action adaptations:
- Tom Hardy in Sony’s Venom trilogy, most recently in Venom: The Last Dance (2024)
- Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3
With Tom Hardy’s era seemingly concluding, fans are curious about the character’s future in Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man projects. Moreover, his dark and edgy personality, combined with the symbiote’s chaotic energy, has made Eddie Brock a fan favorite for years.
Future of Venom in the MCU
Rumors continue to circulate that the character may reappear in upcoming Spider-Man films. Additionally, Hardy has expressed interest in appearing alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, though no official confirmation has been made.
Casting a new actor as Eddie Brock could mark a fresh start for the character within the MCU, aligning with both fan expectations and the co-creator’s vision.
