Edward "Eddie" Brock later known as Venom is the main antagonist of Spider-Man 3. He was Peter Parker's rival at freelance photography at the Daily Bugle before bonding with the Symbiote and becoming the inversion of Spider-Man and is a psychotic killer. Unlike Spider-Man, who is kind, brave, and heroic, Venom is cruel, psychopathic, and rude. He is played by Topher Grace.
In the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Topher Grace appears as a bearded cameraman following J. Jonah Jameson and TheDailyBugle.net around while filming Spider-Man and several multiversal villains; he is uncredited for his cameo role, while Tom Hardy also cameos as Venom (Tom Hardy) in the film's mid-credits scene.
