Internet Reacts To Venom Movie Announcement

Yesterday, the Marvel movie nobody thought would happen got a release date. Get ready fanboys because Sony is bringing you a Venom movie!

The Venom spinoff will be written by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner who between the two of them, have fantastic film credits. They are both attached to the recent remake of Jumanji starring Dwayne Johnson and Karen Gillan. In the past, Rosenberg has worked on projects like Con Air, Gone In Sixty Seconds, and Salamander. As for Pinkner, the writer has provided work for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Alias, The Dark Tower, and more.

As of right now, Venom is a true stand alone film and does not tie into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe like Spider-Man: Homecoming does. That doesn't mean that over the process of bringing this movie to life it might change. This also gives Sony the chance to dip their toes into the R-Rated superhero movie waters since the character lends itself to that.

So naturally with an announcement of this magnitude, the Internet did what it does best - it reacted. Surprising maybe only 4 or 5 people, the general consensus is that the idea is a crazy one. However there are still glimmers of hope that the film might be pretty good. We collected the best reactions we could find for you to take a look at.
