Spider-Man 2 Dev Spills on Tony Todd's Venom Casting

The Perfect Voice for Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Tony Todd!

The developers of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 have spilled the beans on their casting choice for Venom in the upcoming video game, and it’s none other than the horror icon, Tony Todd. In a recent panel, the creative minds behind the game gleefully shared the story of how they locked in Todd for the role, and trust us, it’s a tale worth hearing!

You see, even before the first game hit the shelves, fans were already buzzing about the absence of Venom. Sure, you could catch a glimpse of the symbiote in one of the after-credit scenes, but we all knew it was just a tease. With high hopes for the sequel, the game’s first trailer finally confirmed our suspicions – Venom is coming, baby!

But the burning question remained unanswered: Who would lend their voice to this iconic antagonist? Enter Tony Todd, the perfect voice for Venom. According to Bryan Intihar, the creative director of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, he was browsing the web one fateful day, grooving to the new Candyman trailer when inspiration struck. He thought to himself, “If I could get someone like Tony Todd for Venom, now that would be epic!” Little did he know, his wish was about to come true.

Rumor had it that Tony Todd, the horror maestro himself, was interested in the role. The game’s Dialog Lead wasted no time and scheduled a lightning-fast audition. And just like that, Tony Todd became our new Venom, bringing his terrifyingly awesome voice to the character, intensifying our excitement for the game like never before.

Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate just how fitting Tony Todd is for this role. He’s already a horror icon, renowned for his portrayal of the underappreciated Candyman in the film series that haunts our dreams. And with his extensive experience in voice-over work, it’s a no-brainer that he’s the ideal choice to give life to Venom.

Although we still have some burning questions about the game, with regards to the mysterious host of the alien creature, one thing is crystal clear — the developers had a vision, and they snagged their dream voice actor. It doesn’t matter who the host will be, be it Peter Parker or someone else, Venom is in good hands, and we are beyond thrilled!

Get ready web-slingers, because Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings onto our PlayStation 5 screens on October 20, and it’s going to be an electrifyingly wild ride. Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly count down the days!
