Still don't know why they cast...


A 5ft 10in actor to play Venom/Eddie Brock *facepalm*

reply

There are so many terrible choices in that film, a 5ft 10 Venom is the least of them. Some fo the actors are horrendous.

reply

You say that like 5’10 is small or something 😏
Venom is 7’6 but Eddie Brock can be any height imo.

reply

Isn't Tom Hardy like 5'8" to 5'9"? He's just more muscular and rugged, but pretty sure he's shorter than Topher

Topher would've been a good young Eddie Brock when he was still a nerd. If they introduced him as a skinny dork in Spider-Man 2 and then brought him back as a buff guy fueled by anger in Spider-Man 3, Topher could've played the role quite well. He was just heavily mishandled by Raimi and the guys at Sony.
