While Venom’s story hinges around one symbiote in particular (you know, the title character who bonds with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock), it’s no secret that the new Sony film will feature several of the mysterious aliens that have come to Earth.
When IGN visited the set of Venom earlier this year, the production team behind the movie explained why and how the symbiotes ended up on Earth to begin with.
“We see, at the beginning of the film, the moment when the symbiotes are collected up by a Life Foundation space probe, which finds them on a comet drifting through space, approaching Earth. And the space probe is out there looking for signs of life, and they can’t believe their luck. Tthere’s life signals everywhere, all across this asteroid,” explained VFX supervisor Paul Franklin.
