Venom director, Ruben Fleischer has explained why Venom is missing his white spider chest symbol in the upcoming movie.
When asked by IGN about the lack of symbol in new footage revealed exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con, Ruben explained that a spider logo wouldn’t make sense as this iteration of Venom didn’t start with Spider-Man.
“If you look at the comics, in Venom, there is just elements of white within his suit. Because our character does not originate from Spider-Man, it makes no sense to put a spider on his chest. We tried to be as accurate as we possibly could, even though some people feel it’s inaccurate, but there is a lot of white and we wanted to give him a distinctive pattern.”
