Sure if you want it to play out like Ultimate Spider-Man.
Sony and the rest of the world: "Who?"

Just like Silver Sable and Black Cat, I've never heard of any of those characters.

We all need to collectively forget about Annex.
They can stand on their own, but they have to be heavily rewritten, at which point the question becomes: So why bother? And the answer is: So they can put a Marvel logo in their marketing.
This reeks of executive cynicism.
Doesn't matter if they handle them with care.

You are like a more well spoken me, like the Venom shit. Why make it venom and eddie brock?

Or Miguel. He's the perfect candidate since he's a Spider-Man and has a unique setting compared to other heroes.
But instead they choose Black Cat and Silver Sable.

But couldn't the same be said about this "Silver and Black" film?
Leaving Spiderman out the equation shows they don't care. Like i said there are characters that could work solo, these 2 aren't some of them

These are characters that have a connection to Spider-Man. If Spider-Man isn't gonna be in these movies or even mentioned then there's probably gonna be some changes to their character.
Sony , arad , rothman

But you have yet to hear the premise, or see how they plan on making it work? And they've made them a duo, so technically they're not working solo. LOL

Yeah. It's easy to see it as a thief and mercenary crossing paths on their way towards a shared objective. They butt heads at first, begrudgingly decide to work together, and end as friends. I'll keep an open mind for the project.

Spider-Man spinoff universe without Spider-Man is weird. They're really hellbent on this huh?
I've been saying this since the Marvel/Sony deal was announced but I feel like I need to say it again, Sony has every intention of yanking Holland's Spider-Man out of the MCU at the first opportunity and sticking him right in the middle of this new "Sony/Spidey" cineverse that they are putting together.
Sony want to sell their film & TV operations and this is part of an aggressive plan to give their film division a potential cineverse ASAP in as short a time as possible so that they can add value to a film studio that is falling behind the other majors at a stead clip.

Like Sony has earned the benefit of the doubt.
They trying to make comic movies like it is the 90s

Ok, well that's fair to be skeptical.
On another note, I see Gina is also due to direct the pilot for Cloak and Dagger.
You go Gina.
Which raises the question for me: how has Sony deluded themselves into thinking that buyers will be tripping over themselves to get a piece of Ruben Fleischer's Venom?

"Finds director" fam I didn't even know they were making this a movie.
Sony, I'm not supporting this bullshit. Stop. Pls.

Hence that sterling Aunt May movie idea from a few years back.

Calling it now: as soon as Sony sees the box office returns of Homecoming they're going to plan their own non-MCU movie with Holland.
They can technically do that. As someone else pointed out on the last page, Holland is signed for three solo Spider-Man movies, but the Sony/Marvel arrangement only covers two of those. Maybe they'll use that third movie as an overlap between Holland's Spider-Man, Hardy's Venom, this Silver and Black thing, and whatever else they cook up.
IIRC, that was the original plan for the Webb/Garfield series, where they'd so Sinister Six, Venom, and Black Cat/Silver Sable movies that would then crossover with Spidey in either a third or fourth Amazing Spider-Man movie.

Shot in dark: They'll be sisters in this.
are you on 50 posts a page?

If they go that route, it's either going to be Half sisters or adopted sisters, because I'm certain they're going to be two different races and I can't see Gina interested in directing a film about two White girls.

Venom could if you make his powers and design more like ultimate Venom, the real problem is using Brock as the host. Could have avoided it by using Flash but........
Say whaaaaat!Title reminds me of that great Clone High bit.

Bingo.
Only way this doesn't happen is if the movies tank, and I lost all hope of that when they casted Tom Hardy as Venom. I why?
lol
If Disney wants to open that checkbook, that may change but Homecoming is a trojan horse that will work out in Sony's favor.

I'm pretty happy that Sony are making films about all the Spider-Man characters I don't give a shit about, less chance of 'em being in future MCU films.

What is that you saaaaay?!
To be fair, we likely weren't gonna see them in the MCU unless otherwise, I mean we are finally getting that Venom movie but dammit, it's in the shittiest way possible.

I really wish this wasn't about to happen.

Here's the thing; a Venom movie doesn't make sense unless you go the Flash Thompson route. I don't trust anyone that isn't Marvel Studios to nail Agent Venom.
I wish I could be confident that Marvel Studios would tackle more mature titles outside of Netflix, but I'm not. The "Disney" excuse is wack to me too, since that shouldn't mean they can't make a more mature movie when it makes sense (like with Deadpool). Everything coming out of the studio doesn't have to sell toys and tickets to kids. That said, I'd still rather no Venom movie than this desperate cash grab that Sony is piling together.
