Seven years after its release, Venom has a complicated history with comic book movie fans. The 2018 superhero film did its best to repair the damage done to its titular character in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 over a decade earlier. Tom Hardy’s version leaned into the more heroic side of Venom, portraying him as the “Lethal Protector.” While better received than Topher Grace’s version of the character, this version of Eddie Brock/Venom is still a far cry from his comic book counterpart.Venom also kicked off Sony’s infamous Spider-Man cinematic universe, which came to an unceremonious end last year with Kraven the Hunter. With the Sony Spider-Man Universe now officially dead, Venom director Ruben Fleischer is opening up about his experience with the film that kicked off the franchise. According to Fleisher, a surprising comedy movie from more than forty years ago helped inspire Venom’s lighter tone that transformed the character from a horrific villain to a surprisingly humorous antihero.All of Me isn’t one of Steve Martin’s better-known comedies, but the connections between the 1984 film and Venom are clear. In All of Me, Steve Martin’s character, Roger Cobb, has his life thrown into shambles when an unfortunate turn of events leads him to inherit the soul of his client, a wealthy widow named Edwina (Lily Tomlin). The unlikely pair is then forced to share the same body, with Roger controlling his left side and Edwina the right. This naturally leads to hilarity as the duo learn to live together and appear normal to the outside world. Venom plays up All of Me’s premise, this time with an alien symbiote vying for control of a human body. In this version, however, Eddie Brock is the clear underdog, forced to ride along as an uncontrolling passenger whenever Venom gets overzealous in his superhero pursuits.
