History

Topher Grace plays Venom in the 2007 feature film Spider-Man 3. In the film, Edward "Eddie" Brock Jr. is a new freelance photographer vying for a staff position with newspaper the Daily Bugle.

Eddie Brock is portrayed as a complete parallel to the normally modest and down-to-Earth Peter Parker. Shallow, superficial, and vindictive, Brock is also an insufferable flirt and has no qualms about cheating to get what he wants. He claims to be dating Gwen Stacy at the beginning of the movie, but much to his chagrin she does not consider herself his girlfriend. Although they only had one coffee date, Brock is smitten.

He sucks up to the Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson to get a job on the paper. After Jameson instructs Brock and Parker to obtain unflattering pictures of Spider-Man, Brock provides a manipulated picture of Spider-Man robbing a bank whilst wearing the black suit. Furious and spurred by the malign influence of the Symbiote, Parker exposes Brock's duplicity, and an enraged Jameson fires him. After witnessing him dating Gwen, a miserable Brock goes to church and asks God to kill Peter Parker for ruining his life. Hearing the churchbells tolling, he enters the belltower to find Spider-Man struggling to remove the Symbiote, exposing himself to be Peter Parker.

The sound of the bells aggravates the Symbiote enough to detach from Peter, but as it falls it latches onto Brock and transforms him into the monstrous Venom, gaining many of Peter's superhuman abilities (and then some). It is of note that the suit appears slightly different to the comics. Instead of a solid black with a large white spider at the center, here the suit seems like a distorted mold-replica of Peter's original Spider-Man suit, having a faint, disorganized, webbing pattern on it, and not being as large. Also in the movie the unmasking proccess is different in that it unravels instead of opening up at the mouth and going back. Venom also refers to himself "I" instead of "We".

Venom recruits Sandman, who is on the run from Spider-Man, to help finish off the superhero. Venom and Sandman hold Peter Parker's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson hostage at a construction site to lure Peter to them. Peter arrives and fights Venom and Sandman, eventually assisted by his former nemessis Harry Osborn. With the help of Peter, Harry manages to subdue Sandman with his Goblin arsenal and rescue Mary Jane. Peter then chases Venom to inside the building, but is brutally subdued by the villain. In an attempt to kill Peter, Venom impales and mortally wounds Harry with his own spiked glider, mirroring his father's death.

Peter temporarily traps Venom in a circle of upright metal pipes, ringing them at a frequency that subdues the Symbiote. As the Symbiote detaches from Brock, Parker extracts him from the Symbiote with his webbing. The now-separated Symbiote then begins to grow taller and expand itself. Parker subdues it again by ringing the pipes and then proceeds to throw one of Harry's pumpkin bombs at it in an attempt to annihilate it, but Brock dives back into the Symbiote along with the bomb. Just as the Symbiote begins to re-bond with Brock, the bomb explodes, seemingly annihilating both Brock and the Symbiote.

A small sample of the symbiote still presumably resides with Dr. Connors.
