As we know, Sony’s first “Spider-man Spin-off” project isn’t set to hit theaters until late 2018. But that hasn’t stopped images and set photos from appearing on the web. Many fans have been waiting to get a glimpse of what we can expect from Tom Hardy’s incarnation of Venom. Hardy’s MMA trainer let slip that Hardy will embody and turn into an “8’5 Beast.” Well that speculation has now seemed to be backed by artist Michael Frandsen. Who has released some Venom concept art to his social media, which depicts a sculpted Venom in all gray with his trademark razor sharp teeth and long tongue. Frandsen also credits Marvel Studios. The interesting tidbit to this, is Michael Frandsen’s webpage has him working on a secret project, due out in 2018…

This doesn’t necessarily mean these are concept images for ‘Venom.’ But the images look pretty comic book accurate and would be cool to see a finished product. Take a look below:

Also a video from the set of ‘Venom,’ shows what appears to be a “Possessed” Eddie Brock. Something seems to be taking control of Brock in the video. He slams a card door and seems to be getting pulled around by something controlling him.

‘Venom’ is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.

Set to hit theaters: October 5, 2018
