Sony finally making a deal with Marvel to bring Spidey into the MCU halted that project, but didn’t quite end it; recently, we got word that a new Venom was being fast-tracked by Sony. At this point, not much is known about the film beyond that it isn’t going to be connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While fans have wondered how a Venom movie could work without Spider-Man, or how two universes could exist side-by-side, Sony doesn’t seem worried.


Not sure how it would work without Spider-Man.

It could easily work without Spidey. He'd just have to be fighting other symbiotes most likely. As far as the character development goes, he'd need to have a sort of Symbiote-Werewolf arc where he's constantly battling this evil force that has taken control of him. Could be kinda cool.

The Carnage saga would be amazing. So many cool characters they could adopt to the big screen.

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to set this up as a sort of prequel to the Spider-Man storyline. Just consider everything to be backstory to Peter Parker's first encounter with the symbiote. Then at some point down the line, you can easily merge the two into a single movie.

Carnage is by far my favorite super-villain (behind venom). I'd love for those movies to come out.

I always loved the werewolf story line.

When I saw the news that Tom Hardy was playing venom, it just seemed like that was a perfect fit. Can't think of a different actor that would play it better

I don't get Hardy. He can do such great work like The Drop. But then gets sucked into these crap superhero movies. Easy payday I guess.

Hardy just does stuff that interests him. Look at the Crane twins movie, Bronson, Taboo, etc.

Also I only skimmed the article but will it be the Eddie Brock version of Venom or Flash Thompson, or even Angelo Fortunato (mob boss son)?

It's interesting they didn't explicitly say Brock.

A lot they could do with this character; strictly sci fi, the Ahab wants revenge on Parker, go slightly religious with the attempted suicide (unless they feel it encroaches Daredevil), or even the San Fran underground version.

One of my favorite Venom stories was in the mid 90s when he teamed up with Gambit in the underground.

Sir Anthony Hopkins has been in two Thor movies and is set to be in a Transformers movie.
