Who doesn’t love Woody Harrelson, right? Well, that means it should come as pretty great news to hear the hugely talented Harrelson is in talks to join the Tom Hardy-headlined Venom.

As per Variety, the War for the Planet of the Apes star is in negotiations to play a henchman in the symbiote spectacular. Very little is known on the role at this stage, but we’d expect it to be a rather hefty one given Harrelson’s stature.

Already on board with Hardy for Venom are Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Jenny Slate, Scott Haze and Reid Scott. Zombieland’s Ruben Fleischer is on directing duties for the October 2018 release.

Pulling inspiration from the Venom: Lethal Protector and Planet of the Symbiotes comic book arcs, Venom will be the launching point of Sony’s shared Spider-Verse. While Silver Sable and Black Cat team-up effort Silver and Black is confirmed, there’s also solo movies in development for the vampiric Michael Morbius and reportedly Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio.
