Venom without Spider-Man?
@ComicBookNOW But how can you have Venom without Spider-Man?
— Damone Sims (@DemonicSeed99) March 16, 2017
We're with you, Damone. Venom is arguably Spider-Man's most recognizable bad guy and to have a movie where the ol' Webhead isn't around, doesn't make much sense. Now there is a good chance that they might go the "Lethal Protector" route and make him an anti-hero. This is a play that could work in their favor and set up an entirely new franchise for the studio.
You get a Symbiote! You get a Symbiote! We all get Symbiotes!
@ComicBookNOW if there's a Carnage role I hope they snag Aaron Paul. He was born for it

Utter the phrase "Venom" and "Carnage," "Toxin," and the countless other symbiote mixes are not far behind. As one of the world's biggest Carnage fans, I'd LOVE to see Cletus show up in a live-action role, but how about we let the Venom movie come out first before we introduce some of the other symbiote characters in the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel Universe. As for Aaron Paul, sold. Make it happen Sony!
It can't be sunshine and rainbows all the time.
@ComicBookNOW Sony thinks they can make a Deadpool out of Venom. Fn idiots.

We understand Rafael, Sony's track record when it comes to Spider-Man movies is pretty awful. So to believe they'll actually pull out a win with Venom is hard to get behind. However, this is their BEST chance for Sony to break out of the standard superhero mold and try something that Fox has seen some massive success with. So really, how could they be idiots? Venom is just as popular, if not more popular than Deadpool so why are you mad about that?
We expected this...
@ComicBookNOW meh, shrugging my shoulders

This is to be expected. Not everyone is going to be excited for this movie. A lot of this probably comes from the fact that Sony has been dangling this carrot in front of fans since Spider-Man 3 and broke everyone's heart. Here's to hoping Sony can make some great casting moves and win you back, Peter!
