The world may indeed have enough superheroes at the moment, but that's not to say there's not more comic book stories to entertain people on the big screen, case in point
Venom.
In the movie
Tom Hardy stars as the scandal-ridden journalist
'Eddie Brock' who is investigating the
Life Foundation when he becomes bonded with an alien symbiote which gives him amazing superpowers and a deadly alter-ego,
'Venom'.
The anti-hero character started life as a black and white alien costume that
Spider-man discovered during
Marvel's 1984 comic book series
Secrets Wars, but when it started bringing out his aggressive tendencies he discovered the suit was alive and he rejected it. The alien then bonded with
Eddie Brock and transformed into the monstrous creature with sharp teeth and long, slithering tongue that fans know and love.
This isn't
Venom's first live-action appearance on the big screen as he appeared as a villain in 2007's
Spider-man 3 played by
Topher Grace.
In this reboot of
Spidey's arch-nemesis,
Venom isn't the only shape-changing symbiote we'll get to meet as it looks like the
Life Foundation had been busy with their experiments.
These movie billboards and wall mural ads, which lean heavily into
Venom's comic book look, were snapped along
Sunset Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, La Brea Avenue and
Beverly Boulevard from September 15 to September 29, 2018.

Spiderverse be sure to check out all these
Spider-man movie billboards from recent years.
In a movie and television landscape filled with Marvel and DC Comics characters, Venom looks like it wants to offer some different, some a bit more horrifying than your usual superheroics, let's see if it can succeed in the same way the R-Rated Deadpool did.
