Fans are perplexed by a recent listing that purports to cast Norman Reedus, star of The Walking Dead, as Aunt May in Venom 3.
Fans were taken aback by the strange casting announcement for Venom 3, as many struggled to accept Norman Reedus as Aunt May, the mother figure of Spider-Man.
The Google page listing Reedus as a cast member of Venom 3 has now been taken down, and the Walking Dead actor's participation in the movie has not been confirmed.
Although anything might happen, it doesn't appear probable that Reedus would portray the well-known Marvel Comics character in Tom Hardy's third Venom film.
That's not to suggest Reedus won't make an appearance in the film. Although the actor's involvement in the film has not been made public, it is still possible.
But most likely, Google made a mistake in this instance. To compile its on-site cast lists, it searches the internet for names linked to different projects.
Even if the claim that Norman Reedus played Aunt May was untrue, it still remains possible that the actor had some role in Venom 3.
A lot of attention has been given by Sony Pictures to the new cast members of the collaborative threequel.
Of course, there's still the possibility that Reedus appears in the film as a supporting role, teasing a reveal like Venom.
At this time, Reedus had been involved in the comic book industry for years, always having his name associated with the Marvel character Ghost Rider.
