Venom (Spider-Man Films)

"I like being bad. It makes me happy."

- Eddie telling Spidey that he enjoys his villainy.

Eddie Brock/Venom is the main antagonist in the film Spider-Man 3. He is played by Topher Grace.

History
Like his comic-self, Brock was once a highly respected photographer whose career was left in disgrace as a result of Spider-Man.

While praying at a church, at the same time Spider-Man was removing the symbiote costume, the church bells's ringing caused the symbiote to fuse with Brock instead, granting him new superpowers and resulting in the birth of Venom, the most dangerous enemy Spider-Man had ever encountered.
