Venom character creator, David Michelinie, envisioned the character as female with a rough backstory. The original story of Venom starts with a woman in her last trimester of pregnancy, loses her baby due to her husband being stuck and killed by a distracted taxi driver. The woman goes absolutely insane from her loss, so when she is released from the hospital, she bonds with the alien symbiote and seeks revenge. Sadly, Marvel editor Jim Salicrup thought a woman wouldn’t be intimidating enough for Spiderman. This is how Eddie Brock came to be. Thanks, sexism!
The actor also praised the freedom given on set.
