Comic Quote by Ruben Fleischer
“As far as 'Venom,' we took some license with this because I don't think we know a lot about him from his days on planet Klyntar in the comic. But in our movie we thought maybe he could also be somebody who's a little bit of a loser, a loner, and doesn't love being subordinate.”
