VENOM Movie Is Reportedly Being Developed As An R-Rated Launch For Sony's Own MCU

>We recently found out that Sony has taken steps to get their long-gestating Venom movie into production, and that shooting was set to commence on the "sci-fi horror" spinoff as soon as this fall. All signs pointed to this being completely separate to Marvel and Sony's collaboration on Spider-Man: Homecoming, but now a new report suggests that they're going to have even less of a connection than we realized.
>According to Collider's sources, Venom is being developed as an R-rated launch for the studio's own cinematic universe which would utilize the Spider-Man characters that they still retain the rights too, and would not tie-in to the MCU in any way.

SONY DOES IT AGAIN

This shitfest is starting to look a little better. I'm hopeful.

>R rating

FUCK YEAH

>Sony's own MCU

FUCK NO

Sony executives should not be trusted to leave the house unsupervised.

already got a thread chief
nice trips though

>Fox manage to prove that R rated super hero movies can be a success (even if they didnt want it)
>Now people want to copy that just like they copied the "cinematic universe" strategy

Thank you Deadpool. I hope this is a sign of MANY R rated comic movies to come.

Why would making Venom R be such a good thing? He's not even that violent, he doesn't swear or anything either

I give it 5 years before we have a year with 10 different comic book movies where you can't bring a kid to any of them.

FINALLY! I hope they fuck up this R Rated Venom film so that people who keep saying that Venom and Carnage can only be done in an R-Rating can shut the fuck up!

t. edgelord
R-rated is good for Deadpool and Wolverine, doesn't mean it works for every character.

>R rated
>sci-fi horror

Dont you do me a concern sony

there's no such thing as a comic book movie you can't bring a kid to

>Implying R-Rated isn't the best thing that could have happened to Venom

>ib4: Appearing on a movie with Spiderman would have been the best thing

Then what is the penis inspection thing for?

R rated and Sci FI horror is a good mix for Venom

Too bad the execution will be shit. Should have forced the guys who made LIFE to include venom on it and made it the origin.

user, parents are more willing to take their kid to an R-rated movie nowadays to spared the gay G-rated shit. My mom took me to see Alien Resurrection when I was 10, and probably would've let me seen any other R rated movie that was anything but Striptease.

No not every character, but there are many who could use it if they get a movie like:
>Lobo
>Spawn
>Lady Death
>Crossed
>Vampirella
>Evil Ernie
>Red Sonja
>Witchblade
>The Darkness
>Gen 13
>Heavy Metal

So, sony want to do a spiderverse without spiderman?

>Crossed movie
I... I would watch that just to see how much would they show.

But R-Rated movies are awesome! You can say fuck in them! And lord knows swearing makes things instantly better!

I think he was being sarcastic.
After Watchmen and Deadpool...this is true.

>not that violent
>EATS FUCKING BRAINS

FlashVenomfags go and stay go.

SWOLE BROCK VENOM

>>Gen 13
The hell kind of Gen13 movie you're trying to make?

Would anyone have the balls to make a rated r Maximum Carnage movie with Spiderman involved?

Why are normies so annoying?

>Sony's own MCU

I always wonder, what is what people doesn't like of MCUniverses?

I mean, we move under the premise that the studios, are not gonna make ONE superhero movie, and stop, they are always gonna do more. So isn't it nice that they are conencted?

Would you prefer just a bunch of random movies with different stayle that nothing has to do with each other like in early 00s?

I wouldnt mind if its well done. Sadly neither solo and universes are well done most of the times.

The only cohesive universe we have right now is the Snyderverse.

But that already started to change thanks to the shitty Suicide Squad and now Wonder Woman. Tone will be all over the place. In my headcanon the DCEU will be only MoS-BvS-JL-JL2.

Lets not start arguments of quality, but you have to admit those movies are cohesive in narrative and look. Something you dont get anywhere else.

>Sony's own MCU
I would get so fucking hype if they brought Garfield and Stone back.

Venom is among the subset of charater that would work with an R rating; if nothing else that'd really let them go all in on the brain eating.

>Sony
>R-Rated

So it will be a Seth Rogen flick

But Venom is actually one character could use an R-rating, especially if they want to use Carnage as the villain.

You know damn well, Rusty.

I would fucking love a Lobo movie, if there isnt 80tys/90tys cheese in it with ultra violence dashed in there then gedoudda here.

Spawn allready has his own movie years back (And an animated tv flick on hbo) wouldent mind a slightly better remake.

Oh god PLEASE give lady death a movie, I dont want her legacy be that fucking retarded shitty animated flick she was given in the 90tys.

Vampirella would be a fun one too, bring back some deadly ass cool vampires again, same with witchblade but everyone will cry over her 'SHES NUDE OMG SEXIST DDDX' depliction of her.

I would love a valkerie-bitch tear Red Sonja movie like the ol 80tys version.

Fuck me another Heavy Metal movie would be cool too, sure the original was shit in its own way with tiddy and dong porn with a loose story through all of them but this might give 2d animators of the past to colaberate with each other again for another batshit crazy movie.

Witchblade lore is extremely deep and good. And you dont have to make it a nude girl, though i like the skimpy clothes cause it shows off the really cool metal blades. They shouldn't go the tv show rought with fully plate mail though. I liked that show but the plate mail was just a cheep way of doing proper witchblade armor that can block almost anything.

And a heavy metal movie. Sure. But I'd rather have another cartoon movie like the origional anthology style.

He taunts people about eating brains, there was one story about how he actually ate brsinmatter and felt horrible about it. Also flash fucking bit a dudes fucking head off so dont blame flashfags for not wanting a graphic venom

>Why would making Venom R be such a good thing? He's not even that violent, he doesn't swear or anything either

You've obviously never read Venom comics, like 90 percent of this board

The entire point of his character when he was at his most popular was being a violent anti hero who kills people and sometimes eats brains

So, wait. Does this mean that Spider-Man will never actually fight Venom in any of the upcoming movies?

>According to Collider's sources, Venom is being developed as an R-rated launch for the studio's own cinematic universe which would utilize the Spider-Man characters that they still retain the rights too, and would not tie-in to the MCU in any way.

What in the literal fuck is wrong with Sony?

Three things:
>They're painfully out of touch
>They're desperate
>They have an idiot running the show

Also, I'm sure it was a serious blow to their pride to allow Marvel full creative control over the Spider-Man brand. They're still receiving the full profits of the new film, but it's like Marvel just went "Look, we'll do this for you. You don't have to do a thing. You'll even get all the money out of it. All we ask is that you let us use the character for our own movies as well." It really drives the point home how talentless they are.

Sony has a sharing deal with Marvel/Disney, they didn't give up the rights to Spiderman so most likely they want to get spiderman/venom setup and then do a big fight movie.

But apparently, the Venom line of films is gonna be part of its own separate universe unconnected to the MCU. Also, while Sony has the rights to Spider-Man, part of the deal was that Marvel has creative control.

Since Jackman threw in the towel the X-Men franchise has lost a lot of stock. Time for Fox to give in and make MCU Phase 4 build towards AvX.

>AvX
Why do you hate Marvel so much?

Keep in mind this is the same company that wants Toby and Andrew Spideys to fight and rebooted Ghostbusters as a crap fest.

Different management or what, this is still the same idiots at the wheel driving on the wrong side.

>Since Jackman threw in the towel the X-Men franchise has lost a lot of stock

He was good in a single movie despite being in all of them.

They have creative control in their own movies, it doesn't preclude sony from still doing their own.

Since Jackman threw in the towel the X-Men franchise has lost a lot of stock. Time for Fox to give in and make MCU Phase 4 build towards AvX.

I don't understand how a company could be this far out of touch.

R-Rated Aunt May spy movie when?

Select invite focus groups?

I'm a huge venom fan and even I see this as a disaster.

Its like they're still listening to Avid Arad and his nonsense thinking Venom is a standalone character. He nor anyone else realizes Venom is a B character to Spider-man. Without Spidey, he is not even existent.

Avid Arad made good toys, he doesn't make good movies.

Don't fucking call Kaz an idiot.

The thing about Sony was that they were always out of touch. It's just that for the Raimi films, being out of touch just happened to work in their favor. The Raimi Spider-Man films had some extremely dated and awkward dialogue and humor, yet somehow this ended up clicking with viewers.

Raimi's saturday serials literally influenced the entire crop of young men, so of course his movies are going to click with people and honestly his first two spidermen/movies are kind of perfect and often quoted as some of best movies still to have been done. So not sure what you're talking about.

It also helped that it came out just after 9/11 so people were wanting to keep their head down and just watch movies.

Sony Pictures, you mean. Their video games department is the best in the industry

I dunno, man. I always felt that the Raimi films were almost painfully cheesy and Peter was mind-numbingly awkward. Honestly, it felt like despite being an adult, Peter generally had the personality and thought process of a young child.

If I may throw another name into the ring, I think it's time we got a more faithful adaptation of The Mask.

>would you prefer if movies had legs to stand on instead of being long winded commercials for the next movie?

Yeah, that sounds nice.

It'd need an R rating if they wanted to put Carnage in there

the cartoon was rated R right?

Its going to be a fucking shit show and I can't wait.

stop

my erection can only get so hard

I have the same apprehension towards this that I did towards the Deadpool movie. This is either gonna be great, or it's gonna be fucking terrible, and there's just no middle ground here.

>Deadpool and Cable
>X-Force
>Now Venom
Oh God, we really are reliving the late 80s/early 90s era of edge.
What did we do to deserve this?

>For Sony's Own MCU
how, they only really own Spider-Man's stuff, which Venom is a big part of, this is just aggravating, i just want the EDDIE BROCK VENOM arc happening in a movie or 2, i dont want this stupid bullshit why does Sony always have to try and be fucking weird

>a separate MCU
Yeah i'm sure that won't be confusing at all.

What all do they own anyways?

I think they just own Spider-Man. Granted, Spider-Man has a fucking extensive list of characters and stories over the last 40+ years and they could absolutely make a cinematic universe out of it if they wanted to, but it's just kinda more than a little confusing and retarded that Marvel proper also has the rights is adding Spider-Man to their own cinematic universe before Sony gets the chance to.

>SpdieyCU without the THE Spider-Man
>all these literally who just to fill it up

Spider-Man is going to fucking sink the MCU.


Not only do we have to accommodate a Spider-Man film every two years, but we also have to keep showing him off in Avengers films, and then these unofficial spinoffs, and every time, spiderfags go "What about Spider-Man?"

Fuck Spider-Man. I hope he gets raped by his uncle again.

I guess now that we've had two good R-rated superhero films it's time for the shitty imitators to start rolling in

Deadpool and...?

this has been my thought since Fox started the trend, they wont have it feel genuine

They'll probably have their own Spider-Man in these movies too, but leading it off with Venom is a risky start. He's probably the most popular SM character besides Peter himself but will Normies even care?

Logan you dumbnuts

>The Logan of Us

kys

No one could possibly fill those shoes. Don't even try.

I can't wait for The Emoji Movie to bomb

dumb frogposter

JUST FOLLOW THE 90'S CARTOON. WHY IS THAT SO HARD?

>le R rated comic book movies are a new thing meme

You youngfags are so fucking pathetic and irritating , this board would be so much better if it didn't allow anybody born after like 1992

THIS
I feel like a venom movie would just be so awkward without Spider man or any other Spider man characters

Howard Gwen > Stone Gwen

But neither are muh Gwen

why

why couldn't they have just fully sold the rights back

>there was one story about how he actually ate brsinmatter and felt horrible about it.

Which is that?

retarded company run by imbeciles

>this might give 2d animators of the past to colaberate with each other again for another batshit crazy movie.

Are any of those guys really ever coming back?

>inb4 they make Eddie a twink again

How dense can you be? EDDIE BROCK is a buff motherfucker. I'm not suggesting Channing Tatum, but it can't be anyone smaller than that.

With Carnage, you have a little more freedom.

I know Raimi intentionally sabotaged the character by using Topher Grace, but I'm afraid Sony is also going to unironically use some Holland-esque fag for Brock.

TO ANY PRODUCERS READING: PLEASE CAST YOUR RENTBOY AS CARNAGE INSTEAD OF VENOM IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND

>implying Marvel Studios could make a good Venom movie, or even a good Venom feature

Venom is not mouseketeer material no matter which way you spin it

They have better track record than Sony Pictures.

An MCU Venom movie would be constrained by Disney but it would at least be run by competent people.

So basically, the success of Deadpool/Logan and the underperformance of X-Men Apocalypse has led studios to conclude that they can't compete with Marvel for PG-13, family movies, but they have a better shot with R-rated movies (which Marvel doesn't do).

Makes sense. I don't know if Marvel/Feige has any interest in R-rated stuff and even if they did their schedule's pretty full of PG-13 capeshit.

>Venom is not mouseketeer material no matter which way you spin it
wtf, they have used Punisher, they are using Ghost Rider, what kind of excuse is this

Netflix doesn't count

Do they? Do they really? I think there are 5-6 good Marvel Studios movies, tops, and they have way more movies than Sony in terms of Marvel characters.....Sony has what, 5? Two of those were decent, as good as any MCU movie anyway

Adding up the numbers, I do not find your statement to be agreeable
