Giftheck 1,145 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/826801-sony-pictures-venom-movie#/slide/1 Really? As much as Venom is my favourite Spidey villain I have no appetite for Sony to screw up the character a second time like they did with the Spider-Man franchise.
Luke Skywalker 2,262 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 will this be part of the MCU? maybe they do not screw him that much then... He is my favourite Spiderman villain too.

He is my favourite Spiderman villain too. From this article: Quote What we do know is Sony has been trying to do a Venom film for years. The character was more or less forced into Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and afterwards several people worked on different versions of his story, including Kurtzman, who then went on to make The Mummy. Last year, news broke that writer Dante Harper was working on a script that would reintroduce the character as the star of his own franchise, unrelated to the new Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland. But that was the last we heard of it. With this announcement coming only from Sony and not Marvel, it seems likely a standalone take on the character is still the plan So it's definitely not likely to be set in the MCU. You got people suggesting Life is a prequel to Venom though. Gotta love the crack theories.
nightscape94 967 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 They basically said the same thing in the first article posted, although admittedly there has been no detailed announcement other than setting a date. Sony's ventures into other Marvel territory can get convoluted now that they are in the MCU with Spidey.
Bilbo 4,050 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 If they did an R rated Agent Venom film it could be interesting.

mstrox 7,282 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 If it's connected at all to Holland's Spider-man, it will technically be part of the MCU story (even if it is kept largely separate, like Agents of SHIELD).
Giftheck 1,145 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Posted March 17, 2017 I was against that version of the Venom character at first but I grew to like him quite a bit, to the point where I was disappointed when they cast Agent Venom aside for five issues to return Venom to his savage state and then return Venom to its original host (as much as I am a fan of Eddie Brock's incarnation of Venom).
Giftheck 1,145 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 So, it looks like they're going to angle for the Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom. And the writers of Life are enjoying pouring fuel onto the theory I posted about earlier about Life being a Venom prequel.
Giftheck 1,145 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 Well, there are some gulliable sorts who do think that Life is a prequel, but they clearly fail to spot something when they read that article, and that something is that the whole Life being a Venom prequel thing? Having said that, I do think they're angling for Eddie Brock's version of the character. Especially given that's where the comics have ended up - back with the Eddie Brock version of the character.

Luke Skywalker 2,262 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 On 19/3/2017 at 5:40 PM, BloodBoal said: It's obviously just a joke. The fact that Ryan Reynolds is in Life is the giveaway. He can't possibly be part of both the Fox/Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Sony/Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, we've seen a few actors show up in multiple cinematic universes in the past, but these were generally small roles, not for a continuous part, and with the films generally separated by many years (now that I think about it, I'm not even sure there are actors that showed in multiple cinematic universes. Some may have showed up both in Marvel and DC movies, but before the cinematic universes were created). Here, Ryan Reynolds is currently in the Deadpool franchise. Do we really think he could "simultaneously" show up in the Sony/Marvel Cinematic Universe? Doubt it. Well.... chris evans was main cast as the human torch and cap america...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,285 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Not in concurrent series though. The FF films were over before Captain America started.
Giftheck 1,145 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Because Deadpool and Logan did it, Venom's doing an R rating too. And another attempt at kicking off a competing cinematic universe by Sony using Marvel's own characters (with whatever Spider-Man charavcters Sony has left). http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/venom-will-reportedly-be-an-r-rated-kickoff-at-a-sony-marvel-universe-188
Xander Harris 8,512 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I never understood the appeal of this character. I think it's more of a nostalgic 90s thing when the character was considered "cool", similar to Power Rangers or WWF wrestlers. I thought he was lame even back then.
Xander Harris 8,512 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Kinda like Bane from the Batman universe. Such a lame character, even when Shinzon played him.

Xander Harris 8,512 Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 He's racking up quite a list of lame villains.
nightscape94 967 Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 He should have been played by a less imposing actor. Tom Hardy circa 2001 maybe.
Giftheck 1,145 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Posted June 18, 2017 Venom will be set in the MCU, according to Amy Pascal. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/venom/venom-is-a-part-of-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-according-to-spider-man-homecoming-producer-amy-pascal-a151869
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 As they say, though, Feige previously claimed there was no plans for Venom in the MCU and he seems to be surprised by the announcement. Disney should just buy Sony at this point. Would make everything easier.
Giftheck 1,145 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Posted June 18, 2017 They can't do any worse with the movie properties Sony has. mrbellamy 1
nightscape94 967 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Is it possible that he can take place in both a universe that contains Spider-man from the MCU, but not necessarily the larger MCU itself? Meaning, they can use Tom Holland as Spider-man and they can have a shared movie, but Venom would never cross over to any other property? Truthfully, by the time I was finished typing out that sentence I stopped caring. crocodile 1

Truthfully, by the time I was finished typing out that sentence I stopped caring. I think that's what they're going for here. In the same word as the MCU but not interacting with the other MCU properties in any way aside from Spider-Man.
Giftheck 1,145 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Posted February 8, 2018 My personal reaction? Meh. Tom Hardy looks like he'll pull off Eddie Brock, but the trailer doesn't show Venom (the common criticism, though you can see the Symbiote in one shot). I think this teaser came far too soon, as they're clearly not done with the VFX yet (Venom himself will be done entirely with mo-cap from what I've heard). The film is going to be an adaptation of both the Lethal Protector and Planet of the Symbiotes storylines. I'm going to see this but it will be with low expectations.
Bilbo 4,050 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Trailer shows too much: Urgh they’ve shown us everything. This teaser keeps Venom under wraps: Urgh, they’ve shown us nothing. Giftheck 1

Fargo 301 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Garbage. Garbage, everywhere. Hot takes: Is that how you're supposed to pronounce symbiote? Because that's not how they did it in Spider-Man 3. How can Venom look like that (with those eyes) if it hasn't attached to Spider-Man yet? Trailer music is the same as one of those Infinity Wars movie. That's original. I bet that shot of full-on Venom-face is in the last 10 minutes of the movie. Maybe even a stinger scene!

Koray Savas 2,255 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Spider-Man is in this movie, how do we know it doesn’t attach to him?

If Sony ends up keeping that under wraps (having Spider-Man play an actual part in the story, rather that just a glorified cameo on TV or something), then I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm not holding my breath for that though.

Not Mr. Big 4,853 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 There's only one Venom and his name is Topher Grace Koray Savas and Bilbo 1 1
A. A. Ron 2,328 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I'm willing to bet Tom Holland is in no way, shape or form involved with this movie. As for Spider-Man... I'm skeptical.
Kasey Kockroach 2,598 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Can't wait for sound samples for the Henry Jackman score! It's gonna be great! Bilbo 1
Bilbo 4,050 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I don’t think it looks any worse than your average MCU/DCEU comic book film.
Kasey Kockroach 2,598 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I was kidding, then I looked up who the actual composer shall be. Well, we could do worse.
