Venom Movie in the Works

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

Marvel is going to be making a Venom movie. If you were upset by just getting teased in the last Spider-Man movie, then this should be pretty good news indeed.

But Venom fans rejoice, Marvel is moving forward with a new stand alone film, yep you heard right, Venom is coming back to the big screen.

We’ve confirmed that “the studio” has met recently with several “A list writers” about a spin-off film.

Eight years ago, New Line Cinema held the theatrical rights to Venom. Since then, the rights have reverted back Marvel. But does Sony have complete control over the character since he was a part of Spidey 3 or does Marvel control the rights to the character with Sony only having distribution rights?

We have to assume that since there is movement and there has been recent meetings with writers this property must belong to Marvel since they have made an interim agreement with the WGA and proceed to develop projects during the current strike. Either way, one thing is for certain, Venom will get a second shot at the big screen.

Will it be a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of storyline or are we going to see other characters from the Marvel universe such as Scorpion or maybe even Carnage? Let the assumptions and speculation begin. We will try to get Marvel and/or Sony to go on the record early next week.

I know I would have liked to see more Venom, but I’m not sure if I really want a whole movie about him. Guess we’ll just see how things turn out as it develops.
