If this happens I'm done with the X-Men movies. http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1660810/two-major-x-men-characters-who-will-likely-be-in-the-dark-phoenix I'm so sick of every single movie revolving around Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique.

On a JLI sitcom.

Tom Hardy as Brock/Venom is a good casting choice in my opinion, but you will never convince me that this movie is going to be worth watching.

An antihero gets their own movie, but it's completely disconnected from the source material and not linked to the universe it's known for being a part of. I wonder if the Venom movie will have a sexy basketball scene too.

She doesn't need to be in everything. It really took the cake when she was in Apocalypse and stayed in her white human form for practically the entire movie because she didn't want to put the blue makeup on.

Tom Hardy as Venom is good casting, but if it's divorced from Spider-Man, it'll have to have one hell of a story to make up for that.

It's kind of funny that the X-Men movie franchise went from "we got to have Wolverine in every movie" to "we got to have loving Mistique in every movie". Also with the Hardy news, he will now have played two huge muscle 90's villains so he should get casted as Doomsday to complete the trifecta.

Reminder: This (The Emoji Movie) and a revitalized Spider-Man extended Universe (starting with Venom) are the two things that Sony is betting their last dollar on and they did not do due diligence before they even started making it.

There were even video games where he teams up with Spider-man. purple death ray posted:Venom is a straight up good guy now and he hasn't been Eddie Brock for years Actually I'm pretty sure Marvel's turning Eddie back into Venom right as we speak. I know Flash already lost the symbiote.

It seems almost suspicious that they are able to make the absolute worst decision possible 100% of the time. Statistically, they should have accidentally succeeded at least once.

My understanding is they've had Brock/Venom do "heroic" things and have even teamed him up with Spider-Man because someone like Carnage needs to be dealt with. Then you have a shitload of things like the symbiote picking new hosts, or Brock becoming Anti-Venom or some poo poo I think. As far as the movie goes, there's no way the protagonist of the movie is gonna be an out-and-out bad guy. They're gonna do some poo poo with Brock struggling to control the symbiote and ultimately use it for good to take down the real villain of the movie.

Yeah you'd think at the very least they'd acquire a smaller studio that's making money and just let it do it's thing so they at least can claim some profitability from their movie dept.

Will Venom also sound like someone doing a Sean Connery impression in the apartment above you? Or perhaps a newer, weirder voice?

Honestly: Venom doesn't really need to be connected to Spider-Man. The core concept ("alien suit latches onto rear end in a top hat with issues, they fight crime") isn't one that actually needs Spider-Man to work and if anything it avoids the needless convoluted narrative that ties a magic suit of transforming space goo to Spider-Man. I don't think there's anything wrong with divorcing the concept from Spider-Man and think it probably would allow for a better self-contained narrative rather than forcing an 'origin story' with Spider-Man. The things that Venom as a leading character (and not a Spider-Man villain) tend to focus on really aren't something that needs a Spider-Man tie-in. You either have an rear end in a top hat with superpowers trying to fight crime or you have a guy struggling with his evil space suit and trying to do good. Neither really requires Spider-Man. You could do a similar story without calling it Venom but Name Branding and people would say it sounds like a Venom knockoff anyway.

I kind of wonder if Eddie Brock in the movie will be really the name only and take everything else from the Flash Venom. It's way more conducive to being adapted into a solo film.

ImpAtom posted:Honestly: The problem with that line of logic is that the list of things that define Venom's core concepts are as follows: -Looks like Evil Spider-man -Has Spider-man's powers but stronger -Hates Spider-man -Knows who Spider-man is -Is like Spider-man but if he killed people If you take away the Spider-man connection all you're left with is a slimy guy who kills people. It's not exactly as iconic or compelling.

They can. Sony still owns the Spider-Man film rights. The thing is that, from what I'm understanding, they don't want to mention Peter. They want this to stand alone.

Yes, Sony has the rights to both characters, but for some reason Sony wants Venom to be its own separate franchise. I really have no idea why.
