Venom movie back in development
 

Sony just won't ever learn. Avi Arad and Tom Rothman deserve each other.

Why would you have a Venom movie that isn't connected to Spider-Man? Why would you have the same people that screwed up Spider-Man be in charge of this movie?

We all know how this will go...

This will not end well.

Oh for the love of God.

You've got the two most incompetent people in the superhero industry trying to make a Venom movie.

Thank God Spider-Man's back with Marvel.

The same kind of thinking that had them planning a Sinister Six movie before more than a couple of the characters were even introduced.

I'm not opposed to a Venom movie necessarily. But they have to set the character up first, and the only way to properly do that is in a Spider-Man movie.

I'm sure the success of Deadpool is behind this resurfacing, though. Everyone wants a violent R-rated superhero movie now.

More than likely, it just won't happen.

Venom has potential if done right, but he is a tricky character to pull off. If it's Eddie Brock I am all for this.

Oh who cares at this point.

how will they even make one? extracted spider man DNA turns into venom. THE END

Sony, honey, you're way too incompetent and unfit for all the properties you hold, and you know it. Hand them over to Marvel where they belong and nobody loses money or effort :)

Spider-Man isnt back with MARVEL, Sony still makes the stand-alone films while MARVEL has a hand in production, plus they're allowed to use him in certain crossover films.

You cared enough to make that comment.

Exactly. I don't think enough people are realizing this. The way I read the deal with Marvel/Sony is that they made a deal for Spider-Man to appear in Captain America: Civil War (for the Marvel side), Marvel will help Sony make a new Spider-Man reboot (for the Sony side), and that's basically it. The deal is only for these two crossover-type movies for both Marvel and Sony to work on these two films together.

After that agreement, as I am understanding it, Sony can basically say "Well thanks Marvel for the reboot and helping us get good faith back in the Spider-Man brand! See ya later!" Sony is already doing an Animated Spider-Man movie and apparently a new Venom movie (Uugh?!) without Marvel being involved. It's not like Marvel (as it pertains to the movies) has Spider-Man back in it's roster of characters and can use him whenever they want for future movies.

Other than the 2014 She-Hulk series, I haven't bought a Marvel comic that wasn't a trade paperback in several years. Is Venom still a popular and prominent character? Last I heard, Flash Thompson was wearing the symbiote (which is kept mostly dormant) and Eddie Brock was MIA or something.

I could go for a loose adaptation of the Lethal Protector storyarc that leaves room for a Maximum Carnage style sequel. Problem is, that would force the movie to establish a lot of continuity stuff very quickly. For instance, Spider-Man introduced as an established hero with years of experience and battles under his belt.

If they make it all grim-dark, I could foresee this being as bad as the live action Spawn movie from 1997.

He's also going to be in the Avengers movies as well I heard.

Brock appeared in the first storyline of the current Carnage ongoing by Gerry Conway, and Venom is in the Disney XD Ultimate Spider-Man series, with Flash in a prominent role (he's also aware of Peter's identity)

This is correct.

Unless it's Agent Venom, I don't see any appeal for a movie where he's the protagonist.
