VENOM: Marvel Studios Costume Designer Shares His Take On The Symbiote From The 2018 Film

Marvel Studios costume designer David Masson has worked on Dark Phoenix and Wonder Woman 1984 in the past, and he's now taken to social media to share his version of Tom Hardy's Venom from the 2018 film!

When Sony Pictures launched the Venom franchise in 2018, they had to do so without Spider-Man. The wall-crawler is integral to Eddie Brock's origin story, but he was nowhere to be found, and fans instead had to make do with a completely different take on how Eddie bonded with the symbiote. 

The white spider logo typically seen on Venom's chest was understandably absent because of this, and Marvel Studios costume designer David Masson has now shared his unused take on the anti-hero.

This one resembles the Ultimate Venom as he's clad entirely in black, and it's a version which works surprisingly well. In some ways, it's better than the random white lines which ended up adorning Venom's suit, though you can't fault Sony for at least attempting to incorporate that classic design.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage has been delayed until next year, and while Carnage will be part of that movie, Spider-Man probably won't appear. Because of that, the classic Venom logo is likely to remain absent.

The non-CGI Venom prototype from SM:3 would've been freaky. He's one of the few CBM characters who work best in CGI.

@GothamSon - you think the plan was just to animate the face of this suit in post production?

@WruceBayne - Nah, what I meant is the body, Like Bane, Venom has to tower over everyone else. A human-scale suit doesn't work for Venom. Topher Grace on the same size scale as Tobey in the movie wasn't Venom for me.

Besides the missing white veins he petty much looks the same in what we have in the movie.

As much as I really don’t like that movie, the design was actually pretty great

The movie is OK in places the last half hour it gets better. It reminds me of a 90s comic book movie.

Venom 2 should be a vast improvement.

I’m down with the sequel. I wonder how box office would’ve been sans coronavirus. Made just over Ragnarok! But bad reviews from SS hurt BOP regardless of moolah made. The old ninja turtles, tomb raider, Addams family curse. Bad first movie makes bank, lesson learned, thanks, good sequel makes stank, franchise tanked.

@TheWalkingCuban - you do know reviews don’t make movies money it’s people who see them there are people who don’t act like little kids sheep who have strangers and reviews tell them what to do in life they make choice all in there if they like something.,

You go apply for job do look at reviews you want date woman do you ask her friends ex boyfriends what she’s like

@dragon316 - let me clarify, when I said reviews I was thinking of reviews but also social media opinion and let’s face it, angry loud nerds. You don’t have to ask nothin to be influenced big time by whatever you spend lots of time on. But. That’s not my point. I’m not trying to get into that part of it so much as the speculation of trends of sequels and how Venom 2 will play out, ya heard me,

@TheWalkingCuban - I don't know about the Addams movies, I love everything about those films.

@NathanielX - I know what you mean I loved it too, surprised to hear it wasn’t universal, all I know is as a kid I was like where’s part 3? Reminds me of a time I was at my son’s baseball game and these 2 kids were so excited about TASM 3. I look at my wife she’s like “I know” and I’m like “I’m not bursting their bubble” she’s like “nope”

The writing was terrible in the first film, hopefully they fix that more than anything.

Needs something to break up the solid color. Even Daredevil's all red costume has a different shade red logo to break it up.
