He might be up for playing Batman for free, but fans have deemed Reacher star Alan Ritchson a better fit for the black suit that once belonged to Spider-Man. Over on Reddit, one fan threw Ritchson's name into the ring for taking on Eddie Brock, aka Venom, should a different iteration of the character ever appear in the MCU. It didn't take long for others to wholeheartedly agree with the option.
The original post that has since been removed got a lot of positive feedback with many agreeing he'd made a better Lethal Protector than he would a Caped Crusader. One fan said, "Now this is a much more reasonable casting choice than Batman. At least physically, he’s exactly what I’d expect Brock to look like," they explained. "Personality-wise, he’d do better as an overconfident military type who thinks he’s smarter than he is. Brock seemed to have self awareness of what he is that Ritchson doesn’t."
