SONY Pictures Malaysia, in partnership with Fusion Wayang Kulit, proudly announces an epic collaboration that brings the iconic Marvel anti-hero Venom into the world of traditional Malaysian shadow puppetry.
This cross-cultural project marks the first-ever collaboration between Sony Pictures Malaysia and Fusion Wayang Kulit.
Audiences will witness the fusion of Venom with the rich, ancient heritage of Wayang Kulit, a traditional shadow puppet play, in a new form that blends modern and traditional storytelling.
This cinematic crossover is brought to life through the creative leadership of Tintoy Chuo, founder of Fusion Wayang Kulit, and the artistic expertise of Pak Dain, the renowned master puppeteer of Kelantan, Malaysia.
Together, they’ve reimagined Venom within the intricately detailed and awe-inspiring world of Wayang Kulit, merging superhero aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship.

This two-month project collaboration began when Sony Pictures Malaysia approached Fusion Wayang Kulit with the idea of incorporating the Venom character into Malaysia's ancient storytelling form.
The project quickly evolved from concept to execution, with both parties working closely to honor the cultural heritage of Wayang Kulit while embracing Venom's dark, edgy persona.
The final product, a unique combination of traditional performance art and modern filmmaking, will showcase Venom’s shadow puppet adaptation in both digital and live performances.
As part of the rollout, audiences will be able to witness the artistry behind the collaboration through 60 second video recreating scene from the actual movie trailer and behind-the-scenes content on the puppet-making process with Tintoy Chuo and Pak Dain.
"We are thrilled to be working with Fusion Wayang Kulit on this exciting project. Venom has always been a character that pushes boundaries, and this collaboration allows us to break new ground by fusing Hollywood's superhero genre with the authentic spirit of Malaysian traditional art," said Catherine Chai, Marketing Director of Sony Pictures Entertainment Malaysia.
