Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 senior creative director Bryan Intihar has shared that he felt “so scared” when it came to casting Venom in the upcoming PS5 exclusive.In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Intihar and other members of the Insomniac Games team said that there was a lot of pressure to develop a new experience that would be as beloved as the original Marvel’s Spider-Man.“We knew it would be so anticipated and people would have a lot of opinions on it,” said Intihar.
Casting the role was “one of the things I was avoiding for as long as possible, because I was so scared of who we were going to get to do the voice,” continued the senior creative director.As luck would have it, Intihar heard actor Tony Todd’s voice in the trailer for the newest Candyman movie in 2021.
At the same time, the actor also submitted an audition tape for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and the team were left in awe of Todd’s interpretation of Venom.“Everything we talked about [with] Venom — that sense of strength, that sense of fear, that sense of overwhelming, so different from Peter — Tony embraces that completely in the performance,” explained Intihar.Senior art director Jacinda Chew weighed in on the quandary of the villain’s design, inspired by its original iconic looks from the comic books as well as the bearing that Venom has in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2‘s story.“One of the challenges we had throughout production was, how much does [Venom] talk?” Chew revealed. “I remember we did some concepts early on [of] does Venom have lips?
