http://deadline.com/2017/05/venom-movie-tom-hardy-eddie-brock-sony-marvel-film-1202098343/

A film based on the Marvel character Venom, conceived initially as a supervillain who is bent on destroying Spider-Man and then becomes kind of an anti-hero is being brought to the big with Tom Hardy as Venom and/or Eddie Brock with director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) helming. Sony also announced this morning that the film will be released on Oct. 5, 2018 and production will start thisfall.

They also notethat Venom is from Sony’s Marvel Universe and is not a spinoffbut the first movie after Spider-Man from its Marvel Universe of characters. Hardy’s Eddie Brock is able to converse and have a relationship with the symbiote, which culminates to him becoming Venom. In the Marvel Comics universe, Venom has appeared alongside Spider-Man, Iron Man, Deadpool, Hulk, and many other Marvel Comics characters.

Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing Venom along with Amy Pascal.

Tom Hardy, who has been a huge fan of Venom — yes, yes that’s him in a selfie he took announcing the role — was the meat and potatoes of Mad Max: Fury Road. The rugged actor was Oscar nominated for his supporting role inThe Revenant and next stars in the Christopher Nolan-directed Dunkirk (which is already getting buzzed about for Oscar).

This is pretty cool, but I wonder how this "Venom Universe" is going to work without Spidey.

Is the rumor that the venom movie was going to be somewhat of a standalone horror movie true?

If so, hurry up and take my money

I don't like starting out Venom without a heavy dose of Spider-Man.

Spider-Man becomes a bit less important to Venom later, but I can't imagine getting Venom going well without focusing on his relationship with Spider-Man for a while.

They don't actually need Spider-man in the movie to make it work. They can name drop him or just skip ahead to the anti-hero Venom role following his beef with Spider-Man.

Spider-Man Homecoming is later this year. I mean, is that not a big enough dose of Spider-Man?

Actually you kinda do. no one will care about him outside of comic fans. No back story with spidey? whats the point. I mean that how the suit shaped itself to be specifically like that.

I think he'd be a more comic accurate Eddie Brock than Topher was, but that's about it. I have no faith in Sony tho.

I already have a hunch that they'll fast forward past his history with Spider-man in the form of a comic strip or something animated in the opening credits. It's too much backstory to get into. Then they'll get to the part where he's battling cancer or fighting someone we've never seen before like Demogoblin. It's definitely going to be the Lethal Protector saga if Spider-Man isn't going to be in the film at all.

Venom is literally one of the most popular Marvel characters, and Spider-Man is getting a movie first anyway. What the fuck is your problem?

Maybe he was in the 90s, but not anymore. He's right that a venom movie without showing the connection to Spider-man first would suck. Why are you so heated about this by the way?

Honestly, I think the division is fucking stupid.

It doesn't seem like either is allowed to use the other. You can't have Venom in the MCU now and I highly doubt Spidey will even exist in this new universe. A third Marvel universe is really not needed, especially after only two movies in the last failed attempt.

I mean, to me, Spidey and Venom are like Goku and Vegeta. They should appear together.

They should have first seen how Homecoming turns out before planning shit like this.

We literally know nothing about the movie but it'll suck somehow. The actor just got cast, but it's already a shit movie. literally Marvel fanboys.

Did you bitch like this when Ultron got a movie before Hank Pym?

You're not understanding me. I just meant that it wouldn't feel right to have a venom movie without showing his relationship to spider-man. I wasn't calling it a shit movie. You're acting like a fanboy by getting angry over nothing
