New Details For Venom Movie: Reid Scott In Talks

New details are learned about the upcoming Sony Venom movie starring Tom Hardy.

Variety reports Veep actor Reid Scott is in talks for a role, thought to be playing a doctor in the lab where the Venom symbiote is being held–and not playing Carnage who has yet to be cast.

The reporter further takes to Twitter and offers that Riz Ahmed’s character owns the lab and is described as an Elon Musk type.
