THR reports that Scott Haze, who appears in Midnight Special and Dan Bush’s The Vault, has joined the growing cast of Venom, which is part of Sony’s universe of Marvel-licensed characters. His character is being kept under wraps, much like everyone else thus far. The only official word we have is that Tom Hardy is starring as the Marvel antihero and that Carnage will appear in the film as one of the antagonists.

Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) is directing with Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate also starring.
Carnage is the villain in this piece, and although rumors had Ahmed in the role, the studio has said that is not so.
Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Amy Pascal are producing Venom, which is set to open Oct. 5, 2018.
