Okay so, Venom is a character in the Marvel comics, to be more precise it's a symbiote that attaches itself to a host to create what you see to your left. A Venom movie is currently in the works as a spin off to the spider-man movie franchise they got going.
As some of you guys may have seen from Spider-man 3, Topher Grace was cast to play the popular Venom character. But for the spin-off there's talk that Grace just isn't a big star name that can attract the kind of audience that Sony Pictures is hoping to bring in.
Now I know that a lot of fans of the everything Spider-man club had complaints about the third movie and with Grace as Venom. But in my personal opinion Grace wasn't really the problem with this movie, it was really more script problems than casting. The thing is that rather then spending time developing the Venom character for people who aren't familiar with him, they instead spent a big chunk over the whole Peter, Gwen and MJ love triangle. Which included that embarrassingly horrible dance scene with what I can only assume was an "emo" Peter Parker to appeal to the emo scene.
So I ask you guys for your opnions. Do you think Topher Grace should be re-cast as Venom for the upcoming spin off or should they just get someone else and if so then who else and why?

Yea, I think they should get someone else. Not because Grace sucked, but because he isn't the guy who should be playing Venom. Venom's whole attitude was based around his body image which was sort of a 'metaphorical' show of his mental capacity. He is suppose to be brutal and HUGE. Not some scrawny guy who's got no expression on his face. When Grace did have any expression on his face, it looked like he was crying. I'll give them that they did a pretty badass job with Venom in the movies...the symbiote atleast. But they need to knock out this emo shit in superhero movies where everyone is so little, they look like they need a sandwhich. Venom is suppose to be big. They need a better Venom character. More crazy.Also, they need to ditch Tobey Maguire as Spiderman.
Put Topher on steroids for a couple of months, and he might just pull it off. Eddie Brock is suppose to be buff. Topher's voice fits the Venom persona, but come on! Toby Maquire is bigger than Topher! The reason Venom is bigger than Spidey is because Brock was buff. Haha I guess Nauman said the same thing. Anyway some of my nominees for Venom.
Angelina Jolie
That is an AMAZING idea.
I second Angelina Jolie as Venom. =D
Hahaha. Yes!!
Angelina takes my vote too!
I just suggested her because she is more buff/aggressive than Topher. :P
Don't forget that manly jaw of hers!
Yeah! and her big mouth can fit bigger teeth! ala Venom! maybe she will play Carnage...
Nah I think Oprah should be Carnage.
