Venom Movie - Spiderman? who's he?

[:thinking:]

Venom's entire motivation is fighting street thugs and getting back at peter for fucking over his career, and also for spiderman tossing away the little goo alien that copied his suit for the sole reason that it was alive.
I haven't followed marvel comics too closely in years so I had no clue that the edgy cancer plot was a thing, only that everyone that uses the suit is now called venom for some reason.

With no scenes of venom fucking around with spidey, what's the point?

Spider-Man won’t be in the movie, but Peter Parker will.

That’s the only reason anyone’s here.

This one's a little better than the last trailer since instead of Venom appearing for 0 seconds, he instead gets to appear for 5 seconds.

Sweet Prototype movie.

EDIT: Symbyeoats.

 

[aqua sama]

I don't know what this has to do with venom.
might as well be a spawn movie.

Anyone else think that CGI looks unfinished?

Also, Woody Harrelson is in the cast. Somewhere. Might be Carnage. Might not be.

Sony’s Venom: Woody Harrelson Rumored to Play Carnage

According to the latest report, Woody Harrelson will play Carnage in Venom. Sony’s own venture in building a new cinematic universe starts later this year with the Ruben Fleischer-directed flick. Featuring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock aka. Venom, the project also stars Michelle Williams as Anne Weying, Riz Ahmed as Dr. Carlton Drake, Scott Haze as Roland Treece, and Jenny Slate as Dora Skirth. Story details are still scant at the moment, in fact, it’s still uncertain if the film will connect to the MCU considering rumors of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man having a cameo in the movie. Nonetheless, filming on Venom already wrapped.

Harrelson joined Venom quite late in its production, and Sony still has not confirmed which character he’s playing in the movie. Before his casting, word was that Ahmed was playing Carnage, but with news suggesting that he’ll take on a different role, all eyes quickly shifted on the Cheers alum as the best candidate to bring Cletus Kasady to life. A sadistic killer in the pages of the comics, the villain is usually pitted against Spider-Man and Venom after his reformation to become the lethal protector.

A new report from Bleeding Cool sourcing an anonymous tipster reveals that Harrelson will indeed play Carnage in Venom. No other information was given aside from the aforementioned detail, but this corroborates persistent speculations that the Solo: A Star Wars Story actor will take on the role of the serial killer psychopath.

Rumors of Harrelson playing Carnage in the Hardy-starrer have been going on for months now. In early February, a report circulated online revealing the casting and how Carnage fits into the story of Venom. As it turns out, while Kasady will be introduced in the forthcoming Sony superhero production, he won’t be one of the main players in the narrative. Instead, his appearance is more of a set-up for the sequel, in which he would be the primary antagonist. Chances are that we won’t even see him as Carnage. If anything, we will only get a tease of his villainous nature.

What’s tricky here is if Venom isn’t well-received enough to merit a follow-up, Harrelson’s set-up for the sequel will go to waste and that would be a shame considering the actor’s talent. The first Venom teaser trailer was divisive and barely revealed anything that could get fans hyped up for what could be the dark horse comic book movie of 2018. That said, it’s not wise to bet against Hardy. The actor has done a great job meticulously choosing his projects in the last several years, and everything he’s appeared in so far has been at least good. If he chose to come back to the superhero genre via the Sony production, perhaps the upcoming R-rated flick has something special to offer.

I put zero stock in anything posted on Bleeding Colon, cited above as a source, but ol' Woody is on the IMDb cast list. With the character he's playing currently showing as blank.

At this point I have no idea if this movie is going to be fantastic or Fantastic Four level suckage.

Looking at the thumbnail, I wasn’t too keen on the design they had for Venom, especially in the eyes, but seeing it in motion...
I like the voice, I like how it moves, and at least he doesn’t look cringey and gay like the last Venom we got (then again, Rami’s Spider-Man characters sucked after the first one. Especially the villains).

Mickey Knox as Carnage is basically perfect. If only they had a time machine so this was like, 1996 or so.

 

[Hui]

Looks horrible.

 

[vhstape]

Cast is surprisingly good for a capshit movie, but outside that nothing really stands out about it

 

[Fleeb]

Worst case scenario: we could end up with a modern adaptation of an edgy early-2000's action movie. That's not necessarily a bad place for Venom. Like Punisher, less backstory and more action services the character very well.

I don't think Venom could exist in regular MCU anyway.

 

[Sperglord Dante]

Why does Tom Hardy sound like a bona fide retard? What the fuck kind of false accent is he trying to pull?

 

[Ruin]

Looks like shit.

 

[Dane]

Mona Lisa (or w/e the rich wigger girl from Parks & Rec) is in it and I immediately lost my shit when I saw her

 

[tehpope]

Why does Tom Hardy sound like a bona fide exceptional individual? What the fuck kind of false accent is he trying to pull?

I think its supposed to be Joisey.

 

[aqua sama]

it would take a long ass time, to set him up at this point. They just decided to cut the shit and go the DC way of doing everything with just one movie.
This is like if they made a movie about bizarro, without acknowledging superman's existence at all.

 

[⋖ cørdion ⋗]

Why wouldn't they make Venom bulky? He's a literal building in the comics and Hardy of all actors play the most masculine characters. Sure we didn't see much, but certainly wasn't a:

 

[Fleeb]

Venom is probably a bargaining tool for Sony. Sony selling Spider-Man is inevitable but they need leverage to get the biggest bang for their buck. Spider-Man's whole franchise not being a part of the MCU hurts the MCU's integrity. It's like The Incredible Hulk but with way higher stakes, now that the brand is so huge.

I don't think they intend to make this a whole extended universe but if Disney doesn't give Sony a good deal, they could probably squeeze out other Spider-Man villain movies until they do.
