Amy Pascal has just confirmed 'VENOM' takes place in the 'SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING' universe!

Ugh, keep that far away from the MCU. Venom is a bad character, and Sony haven't done a good spider-man film since 2004.

 

[strafer]

He's a venomous guy...

 

[Trojita]

I'm laughing

 

[Saya]

And there it is...

 

[BoogieWoogie]

OK??

Like how the fuck is this going to work exactly? The symbiote will like see Spider-Man on television and emulate him?

 

[More_Badass]

But Homecoming is part of the MCU?

Feige said this

For now, there is no plan for Venom in the MCU. It’s a Sony Project.”

 

[autumnleaf]

Tom Hardy to cross over to the GOTG next.

 

[Omzz]

Starring robert downey jr

 

[Nova Prime]

It'll be like Agents of Shield or the Defenders. In universe but never ever referenced or acknowledged in other films.

 

[Faiz]

Means nothing till we see anyone from the MCU show up. Which I'm not betting on. Nice try Sony.

 

[Prince of Space]

Brilliant. Can't wait for this.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

So I guess he will exist in Spiderman movies only but be completely ignored in marvel movie canon? I didn't know venom was being done by the Marvel Netflix and TV series team

 

[Tobor]

Kevin Feige was sitting there, so there it is.

Whatever Kevin signs off on is ok in my book. The guy has more than earned my trust.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

They are going to have the rewrite Venom's origins, aren't they?

No way can they make Eddie Brock a rival to Peter given the huge age gap of the actors.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Means nothing till we see anyone from the MCU show up. Which I'm not betting on. Nice try Sony.

Yeah I mean this is to be taken with a grain of salt. They flat out lied originally and tried to say that the "Amazing" movies were prequels to the Raimi ones at one point.

 

[Obliterator]

This is actually good news to me. Had zero interest in some sort of random spin off in it's own universe bit if it's part of the MCU that helps for me.

Still might be bad though

 

[LewieP]

I guess the best way to make comic book movies more authentic to the source material is to have fucked up continuity.

 

[Tobor]

It'll be like Agents of Shield or the Defenders. In universe but never ever referenced or acknowledged in other films.

This makes sense. Marvel can use Spidey, but ignore the rest.

 

[HiiiLife]

Wait.

Why is Venom a bad character?

 

[Quick]

WTF am I reading?!

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Wait.

Why is Venom a bad character?

Cos he's just awful. I've read every single issue of the amazing spider-man from 1963-2008 odd, and I've never enjoyed a single Venom story, they're all terrible.

 

[Tobor]

Wait.

Why is Venom a bad character?

I've never been a fan as Venom is a poster child of everything that went wrong with 80's and 90's comics and the desire to make everything grimdark.

 

[Cooter]

Sony bout to tarnish all the goodwill MCU built up.

 

[Jarmel]

The MCU just got a little larger today.

 

[Dereck]

Where's Carnage tho

 

[the anime man]

That's surprising. I guess Marvel will treat it like their Netflix shows and just ignore it lol.

 

[Fj0823]

Of course it is.

 

[EchoChamber]

The aunt may movie will be canon too?

 

[fertygo]

Cos he's just awful. I've read every single issue of the amazing spider-man from 1963-2008 odd, and I've never enjoyed a single Venom story, they're all terrible.

Remender run tho which most likely this Tom Hardy character will based on

So which is it?

 

[Boke1879]

Wait.

Why is Venom a bad character?

He's not. And people are hyped for this. Especially if Carnage shows up at some point.

 

[Vanish]

You are all crazy, Venom is a great character although I have zero faith that Sony will handle anything about this right.

 

[Order]

Why is grown ass Tom Hardy the rival for a kid still in high school

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

He's not. And people are hyped for this. Especially if Carnage shows up at some point.

Carnage is even worse though.

 

[Knoxcore]

I honestly do not see a problem with Sony/Marvel creating R-rated movies that are tonally separate from the MCU but definitely a part of it.

 

[Future]

WTF am I reading?!

Yeah, people try to hate on em but everyone knows the majority of people love the guy. Evil villain that mirrors the hero always works

 

[Inferno313]

So which is it?

Sony straight-up filming their own non-canon MCU fan fiction now.

 

[More_Badass]

Why is grown ass Tom Hardy the rival for a kid still in high school

Spidey's villains not believing they're being defeated by a kid is kind of a thing in the comics. The juxtaposition of this high schooler compared to the older Avengers/Ultimate and his rogues

 

[Spehornoob]

Well congratulations! You got yourself in the MCU!

Now what's the next step of your master plan!

 

[Matty77]

Cos he's just awful. I've read every single issue of the amazing spider-man from 1963-2008 odd, and I've never enjoyed a single Venom story, they're all terrible.

The very first arc where Brock scares Mary Jane half to death, puts Peter back into the classic suit and has direct ties to both past stories and the links between them making Venom a bigger badder boogeyman with a grudge, was really good with Venom as more of a device. I'll stand by that storyline.

As a character the only Venom worth a damn was early Flash mostly Remender but some of Bunn, but it went to shit once it went to space.

In sum Venom is like Micheal Myers great as a nebulous shape but complete ass once you try to define him.

Aunt Bae Carnage please.

 

[sirap]

Even if this turns out bad we're still getting Tom Hardy.

Dude has been on fire.

 

[Blade30]

You know that Spider-Man rogue gallery consists mostly of grown ass men, like Dock Ock, Green Goblin, The Vulture, Kingpin, etc. right?

 

[fallengorn]

Well congratulations! You got yourself in the MCU!

Now what's the next step of your master plan!

Crashing this franchise!

 

[MrBadger]

He's a venomous guy...

for MCU

What. The. Fuck

 

[The Kree]

My only hope now is that Feige can keep Arad and Rothman away from it.

 

[Got]

Aunt Bae Carnage please.

sexy marissa tomei as sexy carnage? i can only get so hard

Venom worked when he was terrifying, which was few and far between. Those early stories did a great job of presenting Brock as a threat that was also almost undetectable thanks to blocking Peter's spider sense, blending into his surroundings, and knowing everything about Spider-Man. It also helped that Eddie was the one villain that scared the SHIT out of Peter, so you felt all the more tense when Pete and MJ discovered he had escaped from prison or something.
