Noah Jackson
So what does Venom do when there's no Spidey around?
Jaxon Baker
Fight crime.
Blake Wright
Sounds fun.
Ethan Gomez
So i'm guessing this is not Tom Holland Spider man, it doesn't make sense that he fought Spider Man when Parker is just a teenager and not even a journalist yet
Jeremiah Sullivan
How many grunts, umms and ahh's will we get from Hardy though? Memeworthy?
Isaac Harris
I'll watch anything with the big guy in it
Adrian Cruz
How will he shoehorn a weird accent into this film? Probably when he's in Venom form, right?
Matthew Jackson
That's retarded though. Every character fights crime. He's a better villan anyways.
Parker Howard
God I hope so.
Brayden Mitchell
>no spider-man >no spider-man movie to introduce this spider-man character >backstory implies spider-man kicked his ass This is DC level incompetence.
Jaxon Rodriguez
It'll likely be left completely vague. Its in Sony's interest to have normies think this is part of the MCU.
William Garcia
i was actually completely against this movie, because i thought it was going to be a complete blunder, shit show. but just reading this post, everything sounds great.
Hunter Butler
He does both, he's chaotic neutral.
Owen Thompson
>Venom > Hard R action-horror
Do I dare get excited? I mean.. it's Sony. They have to fuck it up somehow.
Caleb Garcia
I hate when leaks give specific plot details like >left NYC after fighting Spidey as if these minute details would be known when they're this early in production
Asher Harris
>I mean.. it's Sony. They have to fuck it up somehow. This is the only part I hate, but as long as they give Hardy the freedom to make the character his own it should work out.
Liam Allen
Not at first. He's always been one of Spiderman's best antagonists, even after his new anti-hero status.
Gavin Richardson
Carnage deserves a gory r-rated movie adaptation
Sebastian Myers
That's hardly a minute detail. Deciding whether to put Spider-Man in, make him not exist, or just have Venom offhandedly mention fighting him before seems like a pretty basic and early decision.
Jordan Ortiz
Isn't Carnage the villain in this?
Jaxon Phillips
I don't care He deserves his own standalone
Daniel Robinson
so they actually made the LIFE movie a prequel to venom. wew lad
Elijah Reed
you should work for sony
Parker Phillips
Why is Sony even doing this? Just sell Spider-Man back for 3 billion or something and be done with it.
Hudson Sanders
>Walton Goggins
Colton Clark
Does this take place in the Homecoming universe?
Isaiah Bailey
They know cinematic universes sell better than anything else right about now and are way to retarded and out of touch to realize they don't have a franchise or the competence to do that.
Colton Mitchell
Of course not
Connor Reed
They literally want to make a cinematic universe with only spiderman villains and make them all heroes or antiheroes. And not to mention no spiderman
Brandon Hill
Yep. Remember how Deadpool took place on a crashed SHIELD helicarrier and didn’t even so much as lampshade it?
Luis Edwards
>it's a movie they change origins all the time, especially timelines >they don't have to set a specific year, if they're smart they'll leave that super vague and then it can retroactively fit into a later spider-man movie so say spider-man 2 or 3 can have venom show up and the audience can piece that the venom story took place after that s-m movie. >there is no other spider-man than tom holland currently
Adam Diaz
i want him to use "we" >we are venom >we will eat your brains etc
Brandon Ross
>poast yfw sony still does their sinister six movie and the amazing spider-man 1&2 are canon again
Colton Barnes
If the movie does well they will make a deal to incorporate venom into the mcu.
Jacob Perry
Marvel isn't going to want to touch venom unless it's clear from the start he's a part of their universe
Brody Perry
It's literally the tagline.
Owen Flores
It was always a terrible idea with how they were going to execute it. Like how oscorp was behind everything such as the creation of oct's arms and vulture's wings etc. the sinister 6 was hinted at in homecoming's ending though so it could still happen in the MCU. we have vulture and scorpion already and potentially prowler
Nicholas Walker
i think they're going to wait and see how shitty or successful the movie comes out. i'm sure that marvel set limitations, like you can't fuck up marvel's story lines but anything else have fun. hence the san fran location of the movie.
Lincoln Watson
Is there a single company out there that even comes anywhere close as to how out of touch sony is?
Dylan Sullivan
that's a good modern tag 1)i didn't know that 2)i hope he actually uses it in the movie and it isn't just publicity hype
Cooper Hill
>San Francisco >Tom Hardy
supergay
Jace Hall
wb is giving them a hard run for their money
Jaxon King
The amount of kids who used some kind of variation of Venom in their nicknames in CS years ago, countless. Now this meme will be revived. Literally the worst timeline.
Liam Foster
I wonder if there will be people in suits talking on cellphones and a SWAT team that gets knocked into air with one powerful swipe?
Cooper Cruz
Well, it IS Sony after all. They might be worse than Warners.
Cooper Sullivan
I just think that marvel isn't going to want to bend the rules like that for a somewhat minor (in the scope of the whole of marvel) character like venom. not to mention that the movie is R-rated and supposedly a horror which is completely different than the established tone they have with the MCU
Alexander Cox
daaaamn. just dye his hair red. bam.
Sebastian Morris
"hmm, grunts loudly, we may have use for you, hmm, nootka"
Julian Wright
Pretty sure antman is in sanfran
Alexander Hughes
He more eats and kills the criminals rather then fight them. Symbiote has to feed somehow.
Jaxson Reyes
Actual retard spotted. WB made a huge hit out of American sniper
Josiah Barnes
yeah but it's intertwined completely with avengers and shield. this supposedly will have a single reference to the marvel u, and that is he fought spider-man once.
Kayden Jackson
>He fights crime...but also...commits more crime! Not unlike a black police officer. - Sam Raimi Holy shit.
Xavier Brown
Imagine the entire legacy of your film is just some pseudo prequel to some try hard capeshit film
