Director Paquette recalled the team agreed that Todd would make an excellent Venom and began to work on making it happen.

Director Paquette clarified the situation by highlighting the value of audience feedback. "We're focused on 'Spider-Man 2,' and what we're gonna do is we're gonna wait to see how the fans react," he said.

The developers hope to create a story that not only captivates die-hard fans but also exposes new audiences to the rich universe of this legendary character by exploiting Venom's storied past.
The possibility of a Venom spinoff is not just a joke; it's an attempt to explore the mind of one of Marvel's most mysterious villains. By expanding Venom's story, Insomniac Games hopes to give fans a closer look into his universe. Director Paquette reiterated that the fans will make the final decision.
