Reportedly an early draft had John Jameson, the astronaut from 2004 , returning from a space mission with the symbiote as a stowaway.
This was done to present Eddie Brock as a shadowy reflection of Peter Parker which shows that Peter Parker, when affected by the symbiote, starts to act like Eddie.
To make amends, he then treated the audience at the 22 July 2006 San Diego Comic-Con to the first public images of Venom in the film, albeit with unfinished special effects.
However, to keep Venom's appearance a secret, he claimed during the film's casting and production that he hated the character, and had no intention of including the character in this film or any subsequent sequels.
However, quality and movie sizes depends, which means sometimes for old movies it will not be available.
To save time and money, this was eliminated in favor of having the meteorite just happen to land next to Peter Parker.
