Venom 3

[Andrew NDB]

So the solo writer of Venom 2 is both writing and directing it.

It's just going to be more garbage by untalented people.

They just keep coming!

I mean....... I enjoyed both of them......

Venom 3 casts someone other than Spider-Man.

Is this really something a lot of people are looking forward to? I don't get it. I got it in the 90s. Venom is like a phenom, an amazing Spider-Man villain, can't wait to see him mess with Spider-Man on the big screen, etc.. Now we'll have like 3 Venom movies over 7 or so years with not even one Spider-Man appearance and he doesn't even figure into the narrative at all. Also, the existence of this trilogy means the MCU in their super hairy deal with Sony is going to be super reluctant to introduce a NEW Venom so close in proximity to all of this weird side universe stuff. It just seems like everybody loses here. I think Amy Pascal at Sony figured that Tom Hardy as Venom would be a big carrot to dangle in front of Feige and he basically just told her to f*** off. Which he should say. But... here we are. Many years into a Holland Spider-Man MCU and no trace of Venom.

I think Venom is like Gambit - a purely thing from the 90s - all radical edgy and extreme.
But brought outside of this era, there is little meat on the bone. So maybe launching standalone series with him was not such a bad idea. Its just it is extremely toned down and bland, even compared to MCU generic output of later years.

[MikeandRaph87]

Venom is my favorite Spider-Man villain, but I confess that he is limited. Eddie Brock hates Spider-Man. He is a bully who wants vengeance against a single individual. To become an anti-heto after a definitive battle with Spider-Man is the best course of action and to limit use afterwards. Eddie Brock's story was told by ASM#375.Also,I don't see anyone else as Venom. Venom is Eddie Brock. Carnage is what Venom could have been if his popularity had not kept him from being a merciless monster.

It’s gotta be better than whatever Disney craps out, IMO

I dunno. I don't hate Venom 1 or 2 but they seem weaker to me than even like the weakest MCU movies. I mean, I'd probably rather watch them than Love & Thunder again, but that's about it.

If previous movies are anything to go buy it won't.
It will be the same.

It's called "The Last Dance." And still no trace of Spider-Man, of course.

And by final, do they mean "we don't intend to make more and feel like ending it" or "we don't expect it'll earn enough to make more, so we'll give it an ending"? Because those can lead to very different outcomes for the future.

[Andrew NDB]

It means that Tom Hardy wouldn't be cheapening his stock any more than he already has by signing onto a Part 4 of something. He clearly just really loves playing the character, even if these are nothing movies that amount to nothing.

Say what you will, but I liked the movies so I'm looking forward to the third one.

[Andrew NDB]

Pure garbage. Again, I get that Hardy clearly has some personal affinity for the role but this feels like a late 90s "Edgy" movie within an empty PG-13 plastic shell. And no Spider-Man.

[Iroh]

If they cast Jennifer Lopez as a character in this movie, it will be the icing on the cake to make this movie worse than what it is. LMAO! They should give up and let this thing die.

[ZariusTwo]

A bit of that trailer shows the military acquiring the piece of the Venom symbiote left behind in the MCU, but how'd they cross dimensions to find it?

[IMJ]

So basically the villain is a..... what? Generic Venom-Spider-Monster? Eh, I don't even care. These movies suck but aren't unwatchable and make for good background noise I suppose.

If it's truly "The Last Dance," then it's probably a horned bovine monster. If not that, then probably one or two rich guys named "Jerry."

[ProphetofGanja]

wow, smh. disappointing

the rumor going around is Toxin will be the villain

[Andrew NDB]

A couple days ago I was reading "leaks" earlier that said the story would involve Venom protecting the Peter Parker of his universe, who is a child, but now I can't find the article.

Oh, okay...

Well... that would fit in with Sony's weird sort of "universe building" as these movies as prequels to Spider-Man showing up.... which they established with Madame Web, but could easily fit in with their other flicks. Like the upcoming Kraven movie is all about Kraven clearly before Spider-Man is a blip in his radar.

It's all poorly executed and stretch use of the I.P.s to keep them one way or the other...

[frank_one]

They went all in on the junk comedy.

To be honest, there weren't many places to go after Carnage. He is THE Venom villain.

Which is..... something I never liked. :lol: Venom is THE modern Spider-Man villain. Super personal vendetta, dark mirror concept, all of it. But now he is an anti-hero. Honestly, I hate that. Even back when they "heroed" him up in the 90s

Knull is coming he is spoiled in the trailer

Who? Never heard of them.

"No chance of Spider-Man" is all I'm seeing. And I wonder if those rumors about an alternate universe Peter Parker needing protection are true. And Sony doing more PG-13 Venom sequels more so than before is going to look like a really stupid, puzzling choice now that Disney is openly doing full-on R-rated Marvel movies.

Knull was an eldritch god of darkness and the creator of the symbiotes.

Fun fact, Knull is the Swedish F-word.

EDIT: Dang, it's pesky little task to get that to work!

[ZariusTwo]

Who? Never heard of them.

Knull's fairly recent, only been about since 2018, co-created by Ryan Stegman and Donny Cates. There was a big storyline in the comics where Venom defeated him and succeeded him as the 'King In Black', and that's led to the introduction of Brock's son Dylan and the ongoing "Venom War" event in the books

[Andrew NDB]

So, uh... this might actually tie into Spider-Man 4?

https://www.darkhorizons.com/venom-3-spider-man-4-villain-rumor/

[Andrew NDB]

More ties to Spider-Man 4 are hinted. And apparently Carnage is back in it after reshoots?

[neatoman]

Alright so I have seen it.

Basically much like the previous ones. It's not actually a good movie and is really stupid. There's a lot of weird choices in the plot that make no sense or aren't really followed up on, it's honestly kind of hard to figure out what (if anything) had been accomplished by the end. But pretty much everyone in the theatre laughed and seemed to have a good time. The movie is basically about Eddie being hungover and cranky the entire time while the Symbiote is trying to have fun, all while they're running from Area 51 and a Xenophage, which bizarre as all hell and doesn't work but is also kind of hilarious.

[Coola Yagami]

I was entertained. It's pretty much, of you liked the first two movies (which I understand is a tall order on this forum) you'll like this one.

I do like the fact that Venom actually got a last dance before it all went to hell for him during the climax.

Loved all the action. I'm just confused with the ending which tries to wrap things up but also left one big lingering thread. Let's just say, imagine if you saw the Avengers with that Thanos end credit scene.... but it was never followed up on and there were no movies after that.

However... if Venom is part of the Sinister Six....
