However, theres also the previously announced Venom standalone film and its recently confirmed release date of October 5, 2018. Scripted by Dante Harper (Alien: Covenant) and produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, were hearing that Sony is developing Venom not only as the film to launch their own Marvel Universe, but as an R-rated effort.
Lets be clear: Sonys Marvel Universe will not be connected to the MCU in any way (sorry, Guardians of the Galaxy fans, but a Venom crossover is highly dubious) and the planned Venom and Black Cat and Silver Sable films are all part of Sonys own shared universe, not spin-offs of any existing films. Marvels Kevin Feige has nothing to do with these films; its Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainments Motion Picture Group, whos calling the shots. The announcement of Venoms release date tells us that the execs are happy with the script and the new direction theyre embarking on, but with no director set for either film, obviously things can still change since all of the announced films are still in development.
