 Venom's signature well-built physique and his coarse male voice were almost written out of the original draft of the 2018 movie's script. Venom was supposed to be played by a female protagonist. Eddie Brock wasn't even among the supporting cast of the movie. The original story was about a pregnant woman who loses her husband and then has a miscarriage. The rage and the agony the woman faces attracts the alien symbiote towards her and she becomes Venom. While the original story was obviously changed, some part of that draft was inculcated into the script. Michelle Williams' character gaining the powers of the Venom symbiote and saving Brock was not a fluke. It was actually how the original script played out.
