As the cast of Sony Pictures’ Venom continues to flesh out, the picture is in talks to bring Reid Scott in to the fold.

Courtesy of Variety, the Veep star is currently in negotiations for an unknown role in the Tom Hardy-starrer. In addition to Hardy as the titular Eddie Brock, the film also has Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate and Riz Ahmed filling out its cast at this stage.

To be directed by Zombieland’s Ruben Fleischer, the current plan is for Venom to hit the big screen on October 5th, 2018. The film will be part of Sony’s shared Spider-verse of films that will also include the Silver Sable and Black Cat team-up effort, Silver and Black. As well as Venom and Silver and Black, the studio is also looking at doing solo films focussing on both Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter as it continues to expand this realm.

As ever, expect more on Venom and this shared world as we get it.
