Exactly one of the reasons why I have my doubts about him being cast as that. They always say its "Peter Parker/Spider-Man" or "Dr. Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus". If Topher was cast only as "Venom" and not "Eddie Brock/Venom", that makes no sense. It would make more sense for him to be solely Brock, and then when he turns into Venom, they have someone else play him, someone bigger. So yes that's very fishy.
Although I don't think that necessarily is 100% proof that he's not cast as Venom either. We just don't know yet. Hopefully they'll say something soon so this thread doesn't reach the final moments of self-destruction.
