Eddie Brock

Again, we think it would be impossible for Sony to make a Venom movie without binging Peter Parker into the fold, especially if the studio decides to use the Eddie Brock version of the character. And that’s because Brock’s story as a supervillain begins because of Spider-Man (as many other supervillains’ stories also began).
The comics revealed that Venom used to be Eddie Brock, a journalist with the Daily Globe. When he confuses a compulsive confessor with a dangerous villain, and Peter Parker gets the story right, Eddie Brock blames him.
Depressed and trying to find solace, Brock is bonded with the Symbiote, who feels his hatred toward Parker and Spider-Man. This is when Brock takes Venom as his name. Disgraced as a journalist, he starts writing sensationalist pieces for venomous tabloids.
So it would be pretty difficult for Sony to have the Eddie Brock version of the villain without Spider-Man…
