The 69-year-old was well known for his roles in Candyman and Final Destination

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.

Todd will also be featured in next month's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. MachineGames creative director Axel Torvenius shared a message on X, saying: "Tony's kindness, warmth, professionalism, and the vast experience of his career inspired us, and filled us with respect and love for him. It was truly awe-inspiring getting the opportunity to know and work with him."

Previously, Todd also voiced roles in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Half-Life: Alyx, and Back 4 Blood as Doctor Rogers. Meanwhile, his film career spanned decades, showing up in Platoon, The Rock, and 2021's Candyman.

We had the great privilege of working with Tony Todd and will miss him dearly. Sending our condolences to his family, friends, and many fans around the world. pic.twitter.com/2mPX8YlC9H
