VENOM Adds THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Actress Jenny Slate In A Mysterious Scientist Role
The latest addition to the already very impressive cast of Sony Pictures' upcoming Venom movie is actress/comedian Jenny Slate, who has entered negotiations for a key role. More details after the jump...
We recently found out that Michelle Williams had joined the cast of Sony's Venom movie, and now Variety reports that Jenny Slate (Parks and Recreation, Obvious Child, The Lego Batman Movie) is also in talks to come aboard the Spider-Man spinoff.
The trade doesn't specify which character she'll play, but does mention that she's a scientist. Established Marvel Comics scientist or someone created just for the movie? Only time will tell.
Zombieland's Ruben Fleischer is directing the movie, which will star Tom Hardy in the lead role of Eddie Brock. Riz Ahmed has also been confirmed, though who he'll be playing remains a mystery. Apparently, an actor is still being sought to portray Carnage.
Venom is set to open Oct. 5, 2018.
