Oh Sony... Sony Sony Sony...

All you had to do was let Marvel run your properties, sit back, and make all of the money. That's it. There's no reason for this to exist.

He's not going to have the big white spider on his chest and back, is he?
I can honestly see them not putting that in.

Sony isn't going to be satisfied going off 1 superhero movie every two years.

I don't believe he's in the movie. Feige straight up said the film is not in the MCU.

Sony's making this movie, not Feige - and Amy Pascal already said this exists in the same world as Tom Holland Spidey, and they are the ones with rights to the character, so...

He's not going to have the big white spider on his chest and back, is he?

A few of the Venom incarnations (ie Ultimate) are missing that. Doesn't make sense for an alien costume that now has nothing to do with Spider-Man

Now we finally know what Tom Holland was doing on set.

Tom: "Yeah, it's totally pronounced sym-bi-oat, trust me."

The eyes should be bigger. Also, you have to go out of your way to make San Francisco not be totally beautiful.

Gonna be honest, this doesn't look at all terrible. I just find it odd that Spidey is not gonna be integrated in to Venom's origin at all.

I really hope its good.

Why does Hardy tone of voice change every 3 words?

God lord this looks terrible tho.

I held a sliver of hope this would be alright, but man....they should have just done the soldier venom suit with him getting hulk big when the suit gets out of control or whatnot. I would have preferred that. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Venom deserves better.

I mean, I liked the trailer. I like the design. I like Tom Hardy.

However... they completely removed Spider-Man from Venom's origin. Now the symbiote is just some goo that some scientists found somewhere. This not only completely ruins any chance of the movie being "semi-canon" in the MCU (as Defenders or AoS), but also...

... why would the symbiote look like Spider-Man if Parker hasn't worn it beforehand? (I think I can even see one of the legs of the big, white spider in Venom's shoulder)
Why would Venom have Spider-Man powers if Parker hasn't worn it? Or is he just going to be a gooey Hulk with tendrils?
Why would Tom Holland appear in the movie?

Damn, Sony, why do you have to make everything so complicated?

I didn't see any white spider legs on Venom's chest. I guess there could be a spider design lower down, but the design looks like a black on black Carnage.

But where's Ed Norton?

That's my point. They can just say Venom is after the fact if they wanted to.
Recast as Mark Ruffalo?

Everything in that movie is Canon.

From the deleted scene with Banner putting the gun to his head and hulk coming out.
To the abomination
To William Hurt playing thunderbolt Ross.
they just recast Banner as Ruffalo because Norton is such a pain to work with.

I dunno... It's coming out in October, so I'll probably see it because nothing else will be out by then.

A self-contained Venom movie seems kind of iffy.

Venom's design looks neat, but man why can't Sony just play nice with Marvel? They're about to get the X-Men and FF back and ya'll are over here trying to make a Venom movie with Spider-Man.

There it is, it looks like one of those competent but uninteresting genre flick like the Percy movies or John Carter

That's where I'm at. This looks totally boilerplate. It'll be interesting during the run time, mainly on Hardy's performance, then slink into your subconscious as something you've seen but won't remember.

Venom himself looks great. I can't comprehend anyone saying otherwise, ESPECIALLY after the Venom we got previously on film. Mind boggling. People trying to "fix" the eyes. Venom's eyes literally look different every time, even sometimes panel to panel between the same artist! Dude is muscular and veiny too.

Because Sony is a business and simply playing nice with Marvel doesn't get them the potential extra income that this would?

They get all the money this way since I assume Marvel Studios got a decent cut from Homecoming.

This looks like fun!
I'm onboard with all you folks who say it looks uninspired, but I guess it'll be really dumb fun.

And Venom looks fucking awesome! They at least nailed his look.

Did people also forget RDJ in The Incredible Hulk?

Recast as Mark Ruffalo?

I wonder if we'll ever get The Leader returning to the movies.
