It is known that Michelle Williams will be playing a character called Ann Weying in the upcoming Venom movie. Said character is supposed to be the ex-wife of Eddie Brock, the titular character of the movie who will be played by Tom Hardy. However, what is interesting is that Michelle Williams’s character promises to have a much bigger role than that because there is reason to believe that she will be showing up as the character called She-Venom as well.
Why Does This Mean that She-Venom Will Be Showing Up in Venom?
For those who are curious, the first She-Venom was Ann Weying with the same Symbiote that makes Eddie Brock into the titular character of the movie. This happened in the comic books because the Symbiote intervened to save her life when she was hurt, though this resulted in some serious problems because she struggled to cope with the violence that she inflicted on those who had hurt her when she was She-Venom. That was not the sole time that Ann Weying has worn the Symbiote, which is perhaps unsurprising considering the sort of shenanigans that happen to people who are close to superheroes, supervillains, and those who are a bit of both in comic books.
Since Michelle Williams is set to play Ann Weying in the upcoming Venom movie, it was natural that interested individuals would speculate about the potential inclusion of She-Venom. However, it should be noted that their speculation is more than just speculation, seeing as how there have been reports that the upcoming Venom movie will be featuring a female version of the titular character. Furthermore, while Michelle Williams hasn’t revealed much about her role in the movie when asked about it, she has mentioned performing in a scene that sounds as thought it would involve a lot of CG work, which further strengths the speculation that She-Venom might be making it into the movie. Summed up, while She-Venom hasn’t been confirmed for the upcoming Venom movie at this point in time, the signs are pointing in that direction. Still, interested individuals shouldn’t celebrate until She-Venom has been confirmed for sure, lest they end up getting hyped for nothing.
Further Considerations
Besides the titular character, it has been known for some time that the upcoming Venom movie will be featuring other Symbiote-wearing characters. However, while a lot of the cast members are known, their roles remain unconfirmed, meaning that there has been a fair amount of speculation about who will be playing what. For example, when the casting of Riz Ahmed was announced, there were reports that he would be playing Carnage. However, those reports have since been put in serious doubt, meaning that it is back to speculation about which of the people who have been cast will be playing who. Regardless, more Symbiote-wearing characters should mean more potential drama for both Venom and She-Venom as well as perhaps more super-powered fights, which should make the resulting movie that much more interesting to those who have been following its progress.
