Ann Weying, a key character from Marvel’s “Spider-Man” comics, is reportedly set to appear in the upcoming “Venom” movie at Sony Pictures according to That Hashtag Show.

In the comics, Weying is a successful lawyer and the ex-wife of Eddie Brock – the man who becomes Venom. In the comics she also became She-Venom and temporary symbiote before ultimately committing suicide due to the trauma of the experience.
