Venom is a spin-off of sorts within the Sony-controlled but Marvel Studios-sanctioned Spider-Man universe. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy, playing a character previously portrayed by Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3) is an investigative reporter working out of San Francisco that comes in contact with the titular alien lifeform while investigating Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) and allegations against his company regarding unethical human testing. Despite technically taking place in the same world as Tom Holland’s Spider-man, and by extension the rest of The Avengers, this film operates entirely apart from any references to the established Marvel Cinematic Universe.
