Spider-Man 2 Dev Insomniac Is "Heartbroken" By Venom Actor Tony Todd's Death
Tony Todd died last week at the age of 69. While probably best known for his movie appearances in the Candyman and Final Destination franchises, the actor also has voiced some big roles in video games the past few years--such as Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
Developer Insomniac Games paid tribute to Todd over the weekend, posting a statement on X noting the team was "heartbroken" by his death. "He brought so much joy to our studio during the production of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and to many fans around the world with his inimitable voice and presence. We are Venom... forever," said Insomniac.

Spider-Man 2 saw the introduction of the symbiote, portrayed by Todd. Last year, the actor showed up with other big names from Spider-Man 2 for a Comic-Con panel called "Symbiotic Relationships." Todd also told Marvel.com before the game launched that "Venom is one of the coolest Marvel characters ever created." Last month, Insomniac revealed that Spider-Man 2 will arrive on PC on January 30.
